Hazel Ewe - A Halloween Freebie

Good afternoon, ya'll. Today I hit the road looking for yard sales. 

                    

 Woo Hoo!  I did find a few. I didn't make a grand haul, but I  found a few things here and there. 

                 

Turkey salt and pepper shakers, a basket,  candleholders and some placemats. It was nice to get out and enjoy the day. 

 Once I got home, I immediately began FFOing my Hazel Ewe. 

She has been hanging in the Quilt Nest just waiting to be finished , and after much cackling or should I say baaing,  she convinced me today was the day! 

Hazel is a sweet little ewe who has several sisters, including Erin Ewe  , Betsy Ewe, and Summer Ewe.  She has more too, but these are the ones you have met so far. 

 

 Let me tell you! Hazel  is a character and just loves Halloween ! Why she has even nestled herself into a  witches hat and is  sporting one herself. I wonder what kind of spells she has brewing in her mind?🤔 Little Hazel has  a pumpkin quilt draped over her back for those cool Halloween nights when she goes out haunting.  I would rather have a quilt than  a black cape too. 

She is a small measuring 33 x 47 . I stitched mine of 14 count coffee/ tea dyed aida and that brought her to about 2 3/8" x 3 3/8" .

 I finished mine on a 4" square paper mache' unfinished box that I painted black. I purchased the box from the Dollar Tree. After painting it, I roughed up the box with a little sandpaper , added some torn gingham and polka dot fabric strips and glued on some Dollar Tree buttons. 

                    

 Hazel is finished on a piece of 3 1/2" square foam board with 2 layers of batting. I added a torn holiday ruffle as trim. 

If you would like to stitch Hazel, please check out the pdf's below. 

Many of you know , but I always like to leave this little disclaimer.  

I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding that I  have to put each page on separate pdf downloads because of the devices I use. I apologize for that.  And I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and stitching my little designs.

My week has been a busy one. I have been pulling out Halloween items and rearranging things. Also trying to give the place a good cleaning to lessen the work come Christmas time. 

Have you seen the cute different colored bottle brush trees at Walmart in the Christmas section?  This one was an autumn color just perfect to put on display for Halloween. 

Well I have rambled enough but I do want to end by telling you how much I appreciate you stopping by for a visit today. I hope you are ready for an awesome weekend. As always...

Happy Stitching, ya'll

 When witches go riding and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers tis' near Halloween.
