Come Boogie with me!

Thanks to Vickie and Madame Samm for bringing us another great blog hop! Thanks to our sponsors : RED ROOSTER FABRICS, Radical Rooster and Bird Brain Designs.
I've had a thing for chickens, roosters and turkeys for quite a while. For this hop I decided to make a couple of mug rugs. It was my first time trying echo quilting. I like it and I hope as I do it more I get better at it.

 
Happy Thanksgiving to all !

What a Wicked Good Time!

I hope you have been enjoying the Wicked Blog Hop! It's been  fun seeing all the creativity! Today is my turn to show what I have made, but first I want to thank Madame Samm and Wendy for all they do for us. Thanks to our sponsors (Wyndham Fabrics, Reliable IRON, and Bird Brain Designs ) for their generosity!
My first project was a couple of zip pouches, a Monster and Black Cat.

 
My next project was a miniquilt for my Ackfeld hanger in my dining room.
A haunted house complete with bats and spiders and spider webs.

 
It is on the hanger, but due to uncooperative weather and unWicked background,
I add a starry night draped in the hanger.
 
Since I finished my planned projects earlier than expected, I decided to make a little Mummy zip pouch to go with my Monster and Black Cat.

 
Be sure to visit the other Wicked creators today:

The full schedule is in my previous post, if you have missed any of the Wicked days!
Thanks for stopping by, I enjoy visitors!
 
I have a giveaway for all my followers who leave a comment.
Please include how you follow me in your comment.
and answer the question : Do you own an Ackfeld hanger?
 
What is the giveaway you ask???.....
I'm going to be a little Wicked and keep that a surprise!

Hexi Blog Hop....More fun than I thought...

Ok, I've never made a hexi before. In fact the only hexis I've seen in person were little English paper piecing ones my sister was hand sewing. She had a bunch of plastic sandwich bags full of them.  (Did not look like fun to me, so despite my sister's enthusiasm for those tiny hexis I had no intention of trying them).  Along comes the Hexi Blog Hop and again I didn't think I would try it, but there were OLISO iron giveaways and Quiltscapes blog had just posted a terrific Hexi hot pad. I needed a new iron so badly that I signed up. Unfortunately I didn't win a iron, but I did have fun making a couple hexi projects.  My first project was (surprise) a Hexi hot pad :
 I made it to go with some placemats and a table runner (pattern called Table for Four) 
and a fabric bowl as a gift for my niece.
 I love the front fabrics, but the back fabric is fun, too.
 
My second project was a take off of the hexi hot pad. I made the five hexis without
the insulbrite and sewed them together before finishing the blanket stitch on the curves.
 
Some close ups of the cute fabrics

I apologize that when I signed up for the hop, I didn't realize we would be on vacation with very limited, if any, internet service. I hope I will be able to read the blogs from my phone, but might not be able to comment. I will not be replying to comments left on my blog post, but I want you to know I truly enjoy receiving all your comments. I will be having a giveaway of some fabric (fabric not chosen yet, maybe I will pick something up on vacation). Open to all followers who leave comments. I will chose a winner Sept 9th..

Sorry everyone! This was supposed to post Monday at midnight. Don't know why it didn't. Just noticed it as I was preparing my post for Sunday night. I sure hope it works Sunday night because I will be out of state on vacation and internet is iffy where I will be staying.  Keeping my fingers crossed......
Now enjoy the hop, there are some amazing projects out there!!
