When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.
–William Shakespeare
My sweet friend Wanda has been organizing her stash. Every once in a while she'll send me a few things from it. It has been heaven! Even though I'd like to use every bit of what she's sent me, I am only one little girl with only so much time available for crafty things. So, I thought I'd share the love with a {sponsored} giveaway.
Halloween is almost upon us and it is, I think, my favorite holiday. I thought this pattern for {one} Zelda's Fancy Hat pattern by Crabapple Hill Designs and {four} fat eighths {all washed, starched and pressed} to get you started, would be lots of fun. The pattern makes the most adorable Life Size Crazy Quilted Witch's Hat 'Pillow.' I love this pattern {and I'm having second thoughts about giving it away. Maybe you shouldn't enter so I can keep it}!
Supply List: {for reference only, not included in the giveaway}
11 fat eighths {9" x 15"} of black fabric
½ yard muslin {for stitchery backing}
White Saral transfer paper
White Prismacolor pencil
2 yards of ribbon or tulle for hat band
#7 or #8 embroidery needle
Embroidery Hoop
Sewing thread
Freezer paper
Stuffing
Embriodery Floss {calls for Weeks Dye Works, but a converstion chart for DMC is available}

No contest--my favorite holiday is Christmas. I forget about all of the work and love the Christmas smells in the air--including the music, the decorations, the stories, and the presents.
But I have to say my second favorite holiday is Valentine's Day. : )
Halloween is great...my fav. part is all the pre-holiday candy testing:) I have to say however that my fav. holiday is Thanksgiving...food and family and being grateful...it's all good.

I love you... these (sponsored) Giveaway are fantastic!
I think Halloween is such fun. The adults can have most fun even planning it. The Kids do all the running around and they can (sometimes) share they treats!! Lovely being a child again.
Please count me in. Ta
