This is the last of my Halloween

patterns. There are 15 of them that I give to

you to do with as you please.. Stitch them

for yourself, for your friends, for charities. Just

please give me the credit for making the designs. I have

not had the chance to stitch any of these. I have

gone over them alot hoping that there are not

any mistakes with them. But human error is almost

always likely. I am keeping my fingers crossed! All of

these patterns are not too big and should be quick

to stitch.

This first pattern is titled

IT DON'T WORK!

As you can see nothing is coming out of the witch's wand.

She is telling this to the witch moon. The words can

be stitched  in single or triple strands of black. Stitch it

according if you want the words to pop out at you

or not. That choice I leave up to you. The colors are

up to you to change if you like.

 With this pattern, the pumpkins are not happy.

A bad witch turned 3 witches in pumpkins.

She glued them to each other and now the bottom

witch is trying to change the spell. They are doomed!

 This one is titled, "A Spell Gone Wrong".

 I really like this one. This witch go all caught

up in her spell. She was trying to relay a good

message but before she could do so - the spider

tried to envelope her! This pattern is titled,

"Tangled Web".

 These pumpkins stayed in the pumpkin patch

to long. They are angry about it. I like their

eyebrows. This one is titled "Angry Pumpkins".

 I had fun with the trees. I hope you notice the little

owls. sitting in the right tree. The left tree has a

spider web in it. The witch moon resides over all of

the trick-or-treaters. Those trees do scare some of them

away. The spooky house is begging all of the little

kiddies to come inside.

Anyway this pattern is titled, "Hallo-Street".

 This was my attempt at making a kitchen witch. She has

springy legs and spider web hair. Her broom is bent

and crooked. Her hat is too small for her head. Stitch

her face in green and see what she looks like. She does

not have a name. She's just a plain kitchen witch.

 This is a pumkin on a stick giving the spiders a

swing around the pole. He is titled,

"Maypole Pumpkin".

Do you wanna swing?

 I forgot to look at my blog to see if I had given

you this one or not. But in case I didn't give it to

you then - I give it to you now. This one is titled,

"Moon Web".

 This is an old witch. She has lost part of her hat

and it is no longer black. And her broom shrunk!

She is just titled, "Old Witch".

 Two pumpkins are sitting beside each other.

The bigger one knocked the younger one out with

his fist! And now he wants to know if they are still

friends. Maybe the spider on his head made him do

it. This pattern is titled,

"Are we stil friends".

 This witch is just pooped! Halloween has just tuckered

her out. She decided to take a rest on the moon.

And the witch moon does not like it. But she is not

getting up just yet. This pattern is titled,

"Witch Nap".

 This was one of the first patterns that I made. I even

started stitching this one. I got almost half way throught when

I had to stop. I hope you like

"Witch-Kins".

 These next 2 patterns I made to be a BISCORNU.

Either one can be the front. The spider is the same

stitch that I used for the flowers in the bees patterns.

The centers are now spiders. Each pattern has a spider in the

middle. This is to allow the ease of a button or

whatever you want to use for the center as this stitch

basically creates a hole in the center.

For the center you could use 2 little beads as

spider eyes. Thats just to give you an idea.

 Even though both spiders work out to be in the middle

of the biscornu - they are basically in different spots

of the pattern. Because one side is a full sie spider

web and the other is a corner spider web.

You could do this Biscornu differently than most.

It would be nice to see black linen or aida cloth with

a white spider web with a brown spider on one side.

On the other side white aida cloth or linen with the

ususal black spider web with black spiders.

I think this would be different and look nice.

 Well - I tried to do ugly. Notice the stars on her

dress and at the end of her hat. She has red

frizzy hair and red lipstick. She is titled,

"Fashion Diva".

This is the end of my Halloween pattern making for this year.

 I intend on trying to make patterns for each holiday

as long as my imagination still works. I hope you

like them and will use them. Until next year!

Happy Halloween

A Halloween Set

Back in June and July I was really busy.

I have so much to show you! Halloween

is fast approaching. On my next posting I will

have many halloween patterns to share with you. 

Please dont look at the mess in the background as it

cannot be helped. I have a little room But everything

back there is being worked on.

This is my little halloween set. It doesnt set in a basket.

All of it sets in a little halloween cardboard box. It has

a scene painted on it all around the 4 sides. No I didnt

make it. Its just something to place halloween candy or

something like that in it. Here I am using it to place my

halloween stuff in it.

 2 witches and a black cat. So cute they are together.

When the sales start coming on and the sales should

be here. You can buy these little stuffed witches and other

little animals for a little of nothing. I love to use these

little stuffings as pincushions. Not that it gets me out of

work but they are just so cute. How could you resist them?

Its better to find a use for them than for them to just sit

around.  I bought both of these witches last year when

the sales came about. The little adorable cat came from the thrift

store. He was only 25cents.  I see that I have forgotten

to snap a pic of the Chatalaine. Between the witch and the

cat is the chatalaine. The black ribbon has spiderwebs

going all thru the ribbon. I purchased this at

Joanne's Fabrics. An little orance pincushion

has a witch's head attached to it. Its just a brooach

from the dollar store that I got a long time ago.

Next year I intend on

adding to my little set something cross stitchy.

 I do like the wooden thread spools. They are just right

for holding a little pair of scissors upright. The top and the

bottom of the spool is just felt cut with pinking sheers

and lightly glued onto the wood. A ribbon of black bats

circle around the wooden spool. They have yellow-green

eyes. I like placing my sicssors in these spools because it makes

them easier to grab on to. I hope you like the fob.

This little fob when I found it at the thrift store was

missing all of its little charms except for the little

plastic orange trick or treat basket. There is a ghost

on the side - it is so cute. Since the little bracelet was

broken all I did was attach a little key ring with some

black ribbon to the bracelet and the ring. I tied it in

a knot and let the black ribbon hang as you see here.

The charms came from Joanne's Fabrics. There is a

black spider, a mummy, a little sign that says happy

haunting, the basket and a spiderweb with a spider.

This little bracelet only had the little black things on

there to hold the charms. It must have been broken

but when I saw it - it was for me. It was only 50cents.

How can you go wrong with that!

 My daughter helped me look for something to make

a needleminder out of. We couldnt find anything suitable.

So I couldnt make one of those but I will be keeping my

eyes open for something that will work.

This other item is a needlecase. Super-Simple! I did not

want anything that was not going to hold many needles.

In fact I am kind of getting tired of the cute little

needlebooks that will not hold the threads while you

are working on a project. This needlecase

can be made in a matter of a few minutes.

To make one of these - take 2 pieces of different

colored felt. There isnt any sewing involved. There isnt any

glue either. Cut the outer piece of felt any color and size you want.

Cut the inner piece of felt smaller than the outer piece.

This little pumpkin head is

a little brooach with a pin on the back. This basically

holds my 2 pieces together. This is going to hold

a lot of threaded needles! On the back all I did was

cut 2 small slits to run some ribbon thru. To close the

needlecase all you do is fold it into thirds and tie up

with the ribbon. Sorry I forgot to snap a pic of the

folded needlecase. However it is in the basket in the

very back in the first picutre.

 Here's the back of the needlecase. Be sure when

you cut the slits that you do not cut the inner felt

piece.

 Ever since I have posted about the potholders - I have

gotten alot of hits on it. This scissor case is a potholder.

In fact Its a biggg potholder. But I liked the design that

was on it. I knew that I wanted to show this pumpkin

so I sewed it together in a little different way that I seew

the others. I hope you like the tiny witches hat!

 Here is the back of the scissorcase. I sewed it together

down the middle. But before I did that I sewed the bottom

closed. Super-Simple.

 Another little pic of the witches hat. It is small

for my large gingher scissors. The point is made from

a 2 inch piece of felt. It is lightly stuffed. The black

brim is felt and is just a little bigger than the cone.

 This is another potholder soon to be made into

another scissor case. I like the ghost and the purple

color. It is so vibrant.

 Now - this is a new item that I am not sure that you

will like. My intentions were to have this as a floss holder.

It will hold many of them. In fact it could hold 36. You

wouldnt believe what I made it from. You know those

dishwasher baskets that come with every dishwasher.

Yep - thats what it is. The baskets come in a few other

colors than white. I picked up 3 of these this past summer.

All I did was cut the basket apart and take small ribbon.

This ribbon is the same ribbon that is on the needlecase.

I just wrapped it around the outer rim. A little glue to

start and a little glue to end.

 Next year I hope to wrap the floss on it for a project.

I have another one of these that I cut a few strips of pink

flannel not even an inch wide and just wrapped it around

the outer sides just like above. It turned out really pretty.

I hope you like.

Hally Halloween!

This pattern can be started and finished in one day!

Eyes are still blurry. Most of you are probably
