WICKED HAPPENINGS IN THE QUEEN'S PALACE

Welcome my pretties to my first ever blog hop and it's a Wicked One!  I'm so pleased you stopped by to see all the wickedness that's going in here.  A special thanks the Madame Samm and Wicked Wendy our cheerleader.  And our sponsors Wyndham Fabrics has supplied us with some lovely Halloween bundles, and will you look, Reliable IRON has supplied us appropriately with an ORANGE IRON, and Look Bird Brain Designs, wanted you to be prepared for next years Wicked....Some lovely patterns to keep you in the Halloween spirit. 

I love Halloween.  It's my favorite holiday next to Christmas.  I'm not sure why I love Halloween.   I don't like scary things.  I refuse to watch a scary Halloween movie or go to a Haunted House.  I like the cuteness of Halloween, all the cute little goblins that come trick or treating, and oh the candy.  But maybe it's my favorite because it's two days before my birthday, or maybe it's my favorite because there are usually lots of parties... Whatever the reason, I love Halloween.  However, as much as I love Halloween, I don't own a single Halloween quilt or pillow or wall hanging of any kind.  It's time to change that and now, without further delay, my project.

You know as the wicked Quilting Queen, my project would include quilting of some sort.  I bought this quilting pattern a while back and this wicked blog hop was the perfect nudge I needed to get it done for myself.

 

 

Now, what else goes with it.  Some wicked Halloween border fabric of course.

 

I had quite the time getting this wicked project completed.  You see, I took my project to MO with me to work on it and have it ready to quilt when I was suppose to returned home.  I got the first project pieced but decided the purple I used from my stash was too dull so I pieced a second one in record time using a different purple I purchased at the LQS.  But that's where the trouble began. My plans were changed by the FFA Instructor who ask me to chaperone the FFA trip to National Convention in Louisville KY Oct. 28th - Nov. 2nd.  And now I'm not scheduled to return home until Nov. 4th.  How am I going to quilt it when I'm in MO and my machine is in TX and post about it on Oct. 29th?  Georgia Stull of Heartland Quiltworks to the rescue.  Georgia lives in Harrisonville MO and is a Gammill rep.  She was gracious enough to loan me her machine for a couple of hours to quilt it.   THANK YOU GEORGIA!  So now "A Wicked Welcome Halloween" is complete. It's not a large project, only 33" x 37" so it's do-able in just a day.

 

 

 

 

 

I will post a tutorial on how to make this wicked project in the next day or so and you can send it to your favorite wicked quilting queen to quilt it for you. 

 

Then while at the Calico Clippers Quilt Show, my dad won a door prize and I was the wicked daughter that took it away from him. 

 

Well what timing is this?  A wickedly cute little pattern and the wicked fabrics to make it.  I made the first one and this is how it turned out.

Don't you love the spider on her shoe?

 

 

But I thought it needed more wicked cuteness so I made another one using the lime green background. 

 

The bows on shoes are just too wicked!

 

 

Leave me a comment and tell me what your favorite thing about Halloween is and you can win one of these wicked pillows.  I will randomly draw a wicked name from the comments on the 31st after the blog hop is over.  And don't forget to hop on over to the other wicked blogs today and see what wickedness they have created.
