My Black Cat's Crossing Today

Spooktacular Madame Samm is frighteningly good at coming up with amazing blog hops

and Wicked Wendy is swooping around on her broom to cheer us on for this one.

Thank you!

Maywood Studio is sponsoring this hop with their gorgeous Black Cat Crossing fabrics.

A huge THANKS to Maywood Studio for creating and sharing this beautiful line of fabrics!

I have three sisters and when the four of us girls were all together under one roof

we could get a little..uh...witchy at times. Of course, I was the least witchiest of 

all the sisters and usually ended up being a victim of one of their spells. 

The Witchiest Witches

Denise, Linda, Susan, and that's poor little ole' me as a cat under one of their nasty spells!

This wall hanging (33" x 40 1/2 ") was created using Maywood Studios Black Cat Crossing fabric.
The top stitching thread around those wicked witches was King Tut thread by Superior Threads.

The Bonnet Girls Apple Butter design was the inspiration for my witches. I love the Bonnet Girls!

With several triangles leftover after getting a little over zealous with my AccuQuilt Cutter,

I put them to use with this table runner. Adding a ruffle just seemed like the right thing to do!

Whooooo loves a purple ruffle? Me!

Years ago I started gathering together the Garden Patch Cats patterns by Helene Knott and decided

they'd make a fun quilt if I dressed them all up in costumes. I had fun creating costumes by adding a

mask or two, drippy purple heart-shaped blood, and Glitter threads from Superior Threads,

but then I had an "uh-oh" moment when I realized...

Oh, my gosh! I have to sew around ALL those applique pieces!

The "uh-oh" moments didn't end there...

I got even more wickedly caught up in the fun when I decided to hand quilt around all those freshly

sewn applique pieces using crochet thread and big stitches. Yikes...I don't know what came over me! 

I hadn't hand quilted anything in over 20 years so don't look close!

It was probably my sister's casting a spell on me to make me temporarily crazy...

I hope it isn't permanent, but then how will I know! I'm always a little crazy!

Creepy Cats

The blocks were 15" x 15" and I made use of that amazing Maywood fabric.
It's got a lot of sparkly Glitter thread, but it's tough to catch it in a photo.

Then there was the Ghastlie fabric sitting there in the corner waiting for me to use it.

What's Halloween without a Ghastlie!

It's Just A Ghastlie Snap Bag

Since you made it this far in a photo heavy blog post, I think I'll have
