Flashback Friday

This "Wicked Party" happened in 2019 and with a little imagination, I think you can figure out who's going to that party.

I love my brooms that were from a friend.

There's a new one waiting to get hung up...I'll share it later.

There are a few more blog hops happening this year...let us know if you want to play along!

AUGUST BLOG HOP

Hosted by Joan - Email Joan to play along

"Call Me Crazy"

THE CHALLENGE:

Sew something that you wouldn't normally sew or share something you can't believe you sewed.

We all know that crazy and scary feeling of wondering what we were thinking when

we started or were in the middle of sewing something out of our comfort zone.

-----------------------------------------------------

SEPTEMBER BLOG HOP

Hosted by Carol

"It's A Dog's Life"

THE CHALLENGE:

Sew your project with dog themed fabric or applique/embroidery of dogs.

As an added challenge if dogs don't ring your bell, think vintage.

Vintage blocks, quilts, fabrics, or whatever old designs makes you happy.

-----------------------------------------------------

OCTOBER BLOG HOP

Hosted by Joan - Email Joan to play along

"Monster Mash"

THE CHALLENGE:

What else would Joan be hosting in October, but Halloween madness.

She drew the long straw and gets to host this one. Lucky her!

Sew and share something scary, not scary, or something in between.

If it's Halloween related, you know we'll both love it!

-----------------------------------------------------

NOVEMBER BLOG HOP

Hosted by Joan - Email Joan to play along

"Turkey Trot"

THE CHALLENGE:

Being that this one is in November, think turkeys, thankfulness, or Thanksgiving fabric.

November also means the beautiful colors of fall, so sew something with oranges,

golds, browns, greens, or cranberry reds.

-----------------------------------------------------
