Although it is just a top....and not quilted yet....it is an accomplishment. I have been working on this off and on.....mostly off.....since the middle of 2018.
I started embroidering these blocks before Halloween in 2018. I didn't really think it would be done for that year.....but, neither was it done for 2019. .... nor was it even done for 2020. sigh!! But, it is all embroidered now....the top is sewn together. I just need to quilt it....someday....and add a few embellishments. I am hoping for Halloween 2021. Really!!
It is called Broomhilda's Bakery and was SOOO much fun to do. It's too bad I am such a procrastinator.
These blocks all had special things. It's amazing what an embroidery machine can do. The broom's bristles are 3D. The sock in the boot is chenille.
The 'caramel' on the apple is felt. The frog is a glittery fabric.
I love the glass top stands...they are vinyl. I still need to add a cord to hang the spider from the frog plate. The jar of eyeballs is also vinyl.
Sparkly, glittery fabrics for witches hats. Spiders are 3D. Double flowers and a button on the black sparkly hat. Buttons in the candy corn flowers.
Purple glittery sparkly boots and chenille socks. The glittery 'fabric' was almost a paper like product. You pulled the backing off and it stuck to the fabric and you just sewed through it.
3D spider on the pie...very cool.
More sparkly boots
More vinyl jars with candy corn and cupcake. The candy corn pieces are separate and not sewn down...just in the jar...as are the eyeballs in that jar.
Separate sign that will be hung from a button hanger after quilting.
This sign, too, will hang from a button. I think I will tack them down, though, so they don't come off and get lost.
This sign hangs from the button on the top of the quilt...over the orange and white blocks. I will tack them down also after quilting. And the little spider still needs to be sewn down.
This will be the border.
I'll have to make myself a note to get this out about July and get started quilting it, so it will be ready by Halloween. haha I actually have a couple more Halloween tops to get done, too. sigh!! I give them to my cousin, who loves Halloween.
