It's Black Cat Crossing w/Giveaway!

Good morning, and what a GREAT morning it is.  Today is my day to show what I have made for the "Black Cat Crossing" and I am so ready.



I want to thank Madame Samm and Wicked Wendy for all their hard work putting this all together for us.  I must admit, I love these "Spooky" hops.  Thanks guys!

Well, I got out my trusty pencil and paper and started to draw.  Oh, this time  I came up with two designs this time.

First one is this little guy:



I needed something narrow and long to put on top of my table where I keep my one plant.  (The table looked so plain.)

I found some skeleton fabric that seemed to match.  (Unfortunately, I  didn't get to purchase any of those beautiful Maywood fabrics.  I used what I found in my stash.)

Here he is....All ready for Halloween:




I used my fabric paints to help set him off.
(Check out the glittered glasses)

 

Then I drew this little guy:


I machine appliqued them both with monofilament thread.


I didn't have a lot of the orange fabric, so I used both the orange and black for a small boarder.


(Again I used my fabric paints)


Oh, I got just the spot for him for Halloween.

Ok, now that you seen mine...let's grab some treats,


And check out what the rest of us "goblins" have made:


Still with me?  Didn't  get scared off yet?
Well I got a giveaway (Treat) for
one of yous.


This adorable pattern for "Grace".  She is an 18 inch Angel.  Brand new, (I took her out of the wrapper to get a clearer picture.)

Rules, you ask???
Just leave me a comment.
Everyone is eligible, I will ship anywhere.  Just make sure I have your e-mail address so I can contact you.
Contest ends November 1st.  That is when I will announce a winner.
So, good luck 


When Witches go riding 
And Black Cats are seen.,
The moon laughs and whispers
It tis Halloween!



HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
