BOO TO YOU! Happy Happy Witchy Wednesday, y'all! Do come in and join me for a spell! Cackle Cackle! Hee! Hee! 
Can you guess what I am working on today?
Halloween stitches galore!👻
First up - A very very slow stitch that I have been working on for a spell! "Boo To You!" by With Thy Needle and Thread.
This was a sweet gift from Shelly. Thank you , dear friend. This is such a delightful stitch. 🧡🤗I am using random flosses in my bins.
Will Miss Pumpkin get her head filled in today? Hmmm... I sure hope so.

Over the last 3 years, I have been sharing little Halloween stamps here and there. This year I plan to share a few more.
But first I do need to work on my larger sampler.
I shared the borders and header last year
Here is the preliminary layout that I will be using for the stamps that I have already stitched. Of course this is subject to change as I stitch more stamps.

Halloween Stamp Sampler - Header and Borders
Broom Hilda Stamp is the newest addition to my wee Halloween collection.
Now who doesn't love a cute green faced, purple haired gal ready to trick or treat with her pumpkin pail? I sure think she is as cute as a $2.00 button!

Well Sweet Pretties, that is what is going on in the neighborhood today?
Are you working on Halloween projects or sticking to Fall pieces?
I am doing a mixture of both.
Thank you for dropping by and have a magical day! ✨✨
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

LOL thank you so much, Alex. I know exactly what you mean about needing more hours in a day to do all of the things we love. It is good to stay busy though isn't it? You have some adorable Halloween projects in the works. Enjoy your stitching time, sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteHilda is a cute little Witchie Poo. Do you remember that kids show? I don't know which I would include in the sampler. Too many good ones.
ReplyDeleteLOL I had forgotten about Witchy Poo- and H. R. Pufnstuf. What fond memories you brought back, Ginny. It is hard to choose what I want to put in the sampler with some of the new ones I am working on. I sure hope I can get the sampler done before Halloween. LOL Thank you for the sweet visit.

DeleteI love the new stamp. Thank you. I was just planning on starting your Halloween sampler a couple of days ago. I have stitched your other samplers and thought I needed to do the Halloween one. I was thinking about dyeing some fabric maybe green or purple. The others were done on tea coffee stained. Thank you again for all the free designs. Have a blessed day. I hope you get lots of stitching done.
ReplyDeleteOoh green or purple fabric would be delightful, Joy . Please keep me posted. I was looking through an old cross stitch magazine last night and spied some purple fabric and it was scrumptious. I do hope you enjoy these little stamps. I am so grateful that they are going on your stitching list. Have a blessed day and thank you again. Hugs.
DeleteYou've got a great start on your Halloween postage stamp sampler. That's going to be one fun project for the season.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Kate. I had started it last year, but it fell between the cracks so it is time to pick it back up and work on it slowly. Maybe I will have it done by Halloween. Fingers crossed. Have a fabulous evening and enjoy your time in the quilting room. Hugs.
DeleteThe Halloween stamps are adorable, especially "Broom Hilda" - lol!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, LInda. She was a fun little witch to stitch. I am so excited to soon decorate for the Halloween holiday. Have a lovely evening . Hugs and Blessings.

DeleteBroom Hilda is adorable. She is a wonderful addition to your Halloween stamps. They are all so cute. I plan to start stitching these stamps next week. Thanks for sharing you talents.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Alicia for adding these little stamps to your stitching list. She was a sweet witch to stitch. I hope you enjoy each and every one of the stamps. Please do keep me posted. Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteI do have most of these littles for Halloween all gathered up--but somehow I do believe I miss that cute cute owl--so he has now joined that crowd along with Broom Hilda to be stitched--well--hopefully soon--right now for the next few days--I am hoping to sew some baby quilts that we need to hand in on Oct 2--have fun stitching and designing--hugs, di
ReplyDeleteYou are going to be busy, Di, but I have no doubt that you will have those baby quilts whipped out in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail. I am always in awe by how much you accomplish in a week. I do hope you enjoy Little Hoot and Broom Hilda. It warms my heart that they are going on your stitching list. Have a fantastic evening. Hugs.
DeleteI'm still in sunflower mode here. All your little bowl fillers!!! Adorbs!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL it is still hot as pickled peppers here, Nancy. So I completely understand being in summer mode. Thank you so much for the kind compliments on my Halloween stamps. They do make great bowl fillers and are so fun to stitch up. Enjoy your quilting time. Hugs.
