I'm glad you've decided to visit me today for the "Orange You Glad" blog hop! This hop is hosted by that amazing and talented Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks. Thanks for all you do, Carla!
I love starting off a blog hop and in fact, it makes me feel so wickedly special. My witch feels the same way!
Perfectly Wicked
35" x 40"
Carla's "Orange You Glad" blog hop challenge was to "Create something inspired by the color orange. Think orange, think citrus, think orange peel, or maybe the joke about 'orange you glad we didn't say banana!' Anything orange. You decide."
The color orange always brings out the Halloween in me (probably no surprise to some of you.) Well, to be real here, almost any color makes me think of Halloween, but that's just who I am.
As a new project designer for Benartex, they let me pick the fabrics I wanted for this blog hop. When I saw Benartex's Marbella Orange, I was in love and knew this was the line of fabric I had to have. Thank you Benartex!
Marbella Orange is bright and swirly...perfect for this hop! "Orange" you loving it, too! It looks amazing on the back of this quilt.
The orange scalloped border was the Marbella Orange
I was so crazy about the Benartex Marbella fabrics, they were the only fabrics used for this
(except for Benartex Vanilla for the face and hand.)
The other Benartex Marbella fabrics in the quilt are: Tangerine, Black, Purple, Iris, Magenta, Stone, Black, Flame, and Lime.
This close-up captures the swirls in the Marbella Orange and Purple
Of course there's a spider!
Her hair was a combination of Marbella Orange and Flame.
I feel a cackle coming on just looking at the Tangerine background and Stone moon!
You can find the "Perfectly Wicked" pattern in my Etsy store HERE.
Creepy Bunny approved of Benartex's Marbella orange and offered to
hold the giveaway prize for this picture.
How cool is that!
WINNER, WINNER, WINNER!
The oranges are perfect for your witch
Lucky me that I get to share this blog hop with some amazing and creative bloggers!

ReplyDeleteI must say that I love your post As always you make the most awesome things. I'm sorry my time wasn't enough to make something orange too, but as the chairman in our Swedish quilt guild my time is full of administration. I love orange too.

ReplyDeleteI love Perfectly Wicked! I am always drawn to Halloween quilts.
ReplyDeleteLove your Wicked Witch and those fabrics are just perfect - swirly and mysterious.

ReplyDeleteThat Marbella Orange is outstanding!!! I want all the colors, as soon as I figure out what I want to do with them.

ReplyDeleteLove this quilt. It's now in my queue for next year.
ReplyDeleteFantastic quilt! Thought it was a panel! Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteFire orange haired witch is pretty cool. The black cat and the spider certainly make the scene perfectly wicked.
