I'm happy to be included in today's installment on the Wicked Blog Hop! Thanks to Wendy for hosting and Madame Samm for gathering us all together again!
Here's my one block!
This is the start of a cute quilt called: "Home is where the Haunt is!" With other cute embroidered sayings that read "Mind your Mummy!" and "Bugs & Kisses Welcome Here!" - so fun. Maybe by NEXT Halloween I'll finish my blocks. Life got interrupted by preparations to go to Quilt Market (I'm having a blast, wish you were here!!) and we'll be packing to move across town the day I get back. I can't wait to finish this quilt, so very cute. Check out some more of Kimberbell's adorable designs on her Etsy shop.
Meanwhile, I still have a thing for Ghastlies fabrics, and yes, I'm still a Ghastlie Ghoul!

My local quilt shop also loves Ghastlies, and the shop owner, Ann, came up with this pretty cute little Ms. Ghastlie, which she taught as a class.
Ms. Ghastlie
Adorable, don't you think?

I already was a follower (one of the former hops....).
ReplyDeleteYou block certainly is wickedly cute! That doll is perfect! I am still looking for something to make with my ghastly fabric (I've seen bags, table runners, wall hangings and I cannot decide....).
ReplyDeleteThat house is wickedly cool and I love all the sayings.. I hope to see the finished quilt. Answer: My oldest granddaughter is now showing an interest in sewing. I taught her some basics and she is making a quilt jelly roll race style. I thought it would be a good way to master 1/4 inch seams!
ReplyDeleteGreat block - I love the title. Doll is fabulous too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very wickedly wonderful house, thanks for the link to the pattern - I can't wait to see your finished quilt and the doll is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI love the wonky house!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a happy follower!
My children are grown now but in 2000 I made a 'milennium bug' quilt with my local school! It was great fun and still hangs in the school hall!
ReplyDeleteVery cute block. I hope you get the rest done. I am a very happy follower.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I made a quilt together when she was younger. We each drew our own sunbonnet Sue and I made a pattern out of them. We then traced and cut them out and appliqued them on blocks and I assembled and quilted them. We also always made decorations for every holiday. Lots of ideas out there for that.
ReplyDeleteI am your newest follower! I have loved your Quiltscapes for a very long time! Who doesn't? :)
ReplyDeleteI had my 8 year old granddaughter last summer and I taught her to make her first quilt. It was a small wallhanging. This summer she came for 2 months and made a friend and she was telling the friend about making her first quilt. The friend wanted to learn too so I taught them both how to applique. We cut out dolphins and both girls took to the needle like they had been appliquing for a long time!
ReplyDeleteI love teaching children who are eager to learn!
My 3 yr old daughter and I recently made her first quilt, a simple 9 patch that she stated loudly "I lub it" when she saw it all together. My son now wants to make one too. I hope they will come to love sewing just as I do.
ReplyDeletealways been a follower..yes
ReplyDeleteand second besides your amazing haunted block..your doll is divine...ohhhh my I do love a FAMILY doll ....
ReplyDeleteand the last thing I made with my children were flannel pj's we used to make everyone pj and nighties until all the grandkids started coming..now we have a company who designs them for us..
Your halloween house block is wonderful, you did a wonderful job. Thanks for giving us the link to Kimberbell etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteOMG... I LOVE Ms. Ghastlie, what a pretty lady she is. I love her cross stitched face !!
I'm a follower. The things I made with my kids (and that is years ago because now they are grown up) was making halloween balls. We bought lot of small creepy things and a lot of plastic balls that can hang (like they are from glas) and then they filled up those balls with the creepy things, like spiders, little frogs etc. We hang them everywhere in the house.
We also did this with christmas and then filled the balls with glitter, little stars etc. and hang them in the christmas tree. This was a lot of fun !!
I'm already a follower. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were little, we made long tubes of Christmas fabric. They stuffed them with batting scraps and we wove Christmas wreaths for their grandmothers. They were very cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat block and sounds like a wonderful quilt. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAdorable block - what a wonderful idea for a haunted house! Ms. Ghastlie is pretty amazing too. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteYour block is adorable, one I would like to make and your other projects are wonderful. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have become a follower through facebook. My favorite craft with children was making a pumpkin with craft paper, cutting pieces of the pumpkin as I was telling a story. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI adore wonky houses. That`s going to be a great quilt! Mrs Ghastlie is sooo chic! I am a follower. Thanks for the very special Giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI like to paint with kids on canvas. Very cute house block. Vivian
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower! Your wonky haunted house is great and those sayings are adorable. I love the Ghastlie family! Thanks, Deonn!
ReplyDeleteI taught doll making to children. We used felt and had the parts all cut out so they just stitched, stuffed and then stitched a simple face and some clothes. I used My First Doll Book by Winky Cherry for the patterns.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower.
ReplyDeleteMy Grands and I do lots of fun projects. This summer we made fairy houses, and my grandson has an ongoing 'castle design' project with me. We make little pipe-cleaner people and castles all year long -- please excuse the mess, lol!
ReplyDeleteMrs Ghastlie is terrific! I fell in love with the Ghastlies last year, thanks to the Ghastlie blog hop. Bought the new Ghastlie fabric this year too. Your owls are adorable. Great wonky block, such cute sayings. I hope you share the finished project. I'd love to see it.
ReplyDeleteAt Halloween we enjoy making Ghosts from cheescloth and fabric stiffener. The kids think it's great to have self standing ghosts you can see through.
Gee that is a hard question...I used to make a lot of things with my kids and grandsons. My kids liked paper mache the best, where my grandsons like to make Cookies and Marshmellow Treats. Happy Halloween
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower. Found you through the Wicked Hop!
ReplyDeleteFavorite project with kids? I think that would have to be making Gingerbread houses at Christmas. The kids can get awfully creative with lots and lots of candy!
ReplyDeletelove your wonky house.Your quilt will be fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, that is wickedly cute and I love your Ms. Ghastlie doll. I like to do cutting, pasting, coloring and beading type of crafts with my kids.
ReplyDeleteLove your "Home is where..." idea and can't wait to see the completion! B-)
ReplyDeleteSo adorable, especially the Ms. Ghastlie doll!
ReplyDeleteJust became a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI like the spider web block, and Ms. Ghastlie. Both are very well done. And of course I am a follower.
ReplyDeleteA favorite project I helped my daughter make,,,almost 20 years ago we made a big frog floor pillow. She did an amazing job sewing on the featherweight sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteA favorite thing to make with kids would be cloth pumpkins. New sew by stuffing with fill and tie at the top. I would love to win the Ghastlie Doll kit. Come see my ghastlie quilt on my WICKED stop...@ Kwilty Pleasures blog. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love your projects. Your haunted house is great and of course, Ms. Ghastlie is wonderful!
ReplyDeletelove Mrs Ghaslie, she sure would add to the Halloween spirit ... great little block I think it will be a very cute Halloween quilt. How do you find the time to get it all done ???
ReplyDeletei am also a new follower
in stitches
Love your block!
ReplyDeleteYour little haunted house is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI also love the Ghastlie doll and all the Ghastlies fabrics!
Ghastlies! Wonderful! They are so warmly welcomed into my household & stash now that my husband can't wait to see what's coming next. We now refer to them as "The Fam" and remind us of a few from our Family Tree. I would love to make the doll and her little pet...what a HOOT!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. Love your block. ALl your funny sayings gave me my morning laugh. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFavorite project we made was a HUGE colored paper chain that was numbered. We started taking off a paper chain each day with the largest number. It was a count down to when daddy would be home from a military deployment. This gave the kids an idea of how long it really was going to be before he was coming home instead of asking every day. I had 4 children, and it gave them some sense of time and some sense of being a part of bringing him back as they were taking a day away each day.
ReplyDeleteI'm a long time follower! Love your block,,and that Ms. Ghastlie? She needs to live with me!!! Thanks for the chance to win, and for sharing with us all.
ReplyDeleteOne of our favorite Halloween things to make were ghosts out of white fabric with stuffing for a head. THe kids would draw faces on them. I still have them and some of the faces are pretty crazy. We also would make spider webs from popsicle sticks and put pipe cleaner spiders on the. The ghosts are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love making papier mache with kids. It's always fun to see what their imaginations create in 3D!
ReplyDeleteI love the darling house and Ms. Ghastlie is darn cute too. I love to make paper towel ghosts and witches with the little ones.

ReplyDeleteI used to teach a craft class to kids from first grade to eighth grade. It was so much fun. Probably the most fun was the modpodge projects. I miss not teaching anymore but I have started teaching adults to sew and that takes up a lot of my time.
ReplyDeleteI just became a follower, Too long ago on the kids. He is 26 now. I love your block and the Ghastlies doll is adorable. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. Great block. Love it

ReplyDeleteHi, I'm a new follower! Love your projects. My favorite thing I've made with kids are decoupaged clipboards using scrapbook paper and tied ribbons on the clip. I taught 40 kids in one day! They loved it, and it gave them places to hang pictures, favorite stuff they made, etc. I cut out the scrapbook paper ahead of time, but the girls did everything else.
ReplyDeleteI love the doll !!! I love that her face is cross-stitched. I am a follower, Your blocks are fabulous. I love to decorate cookies with my grandkids, we have a party every year, also painting easter eggs, the plaster ones. I have them from every year....
ReplyDeleteI've been a very long time follower and love everything you make. The Ms. Ghastlie Doll is one I want SOOOOOOOO Badly!!! I've been hooked on Ghastlies since last Halloween's Blog Hop. I have several items made from this fabric and my Granddaughter (age 7) is just entralled with all the Ghastlie characters. Who can't love little miss Prudence or *Hammer Girl* as my Emma grace calls her!! So Please enter me!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings

I'm always making projects of some kind with one or more of my 5 Grandpeeps!! They love anything that involves painting and nature. My only Granddaughter loves all types of needlework so I'm teaching her to sew. She and I are making a small Halloween quilt for her American Doll.

ReplyDeleteI'm a follower. :)
ReplyDeleteI've made lots of stuff with my nieces, such as tie-dyed t-shirts, scarves, hats, etc, to simple bags. I've also done a bit of decoupage with them, and I really think that with the current duct tape fad in all kinds of flavors, that decoupage has a HUGE window of opportunity for sprucing up some sort of box, shelf, stool, you name it! :)
ReplyDeleteDeonn -- your block is so cute -- love the "haunt" part! I'm a follower, too! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, That haunted house is so Wonky, Wicked wonderful! Ms. Ghastlie is so neat and I'd like to win the pattern. Thanks! Your tutorials are great and very helpful to new sewers. It's great that you are teaching kids!
