Ghastlie Blog Hop - Today's My Day!!!

 

I'm a hostess today on the Ghastlie Blog Hop! Welcome! I want to show you a way to use the Ghastlie fabric line from Alexander Henry in a way that is not connected with Halloween. Do you have a friend with a "milestone" birthday coming up? How about a Ghastlie birthday party? 
Or maybe a friend or coworker is leaving? Or you're hosting the book club and the month's selection is a murder mystery or thriller?

I started with a tablecloth. I made chalkboard fabric (tutorial is coming soon!) and edged it with Ghastlie fabric. I can write on the tablecloth the names of the foods I serve or leave messages for the honoree! Guests could leave little messages too! I think the grandkids would LOVE this!
Then I made a doll using the knitting aunts as inspiration! She's trying to rest up and read a good book before the party, but as you can see,this spider just won't leave her alone!


I also made a hostess apron using "leftover" fabric.( Didn't have a model so I had to use an overturned chair! Not very slim and beautiful, but it worked!) I also made two hot pads from scraps.
And, because you were nice enough to visit me and leave a comment, you will be entered in the giveaway for today as well as for MY giveaway - a Ghastlie chef's apron! (Are you a Ghastlie cook?) Again, my model the chair was kind enough to step in.
On a previous post, I showed you a quilt made from Ghastlie fabric. You can see it  here

So leave a comment and visit my sister blogs today. You don't have to follow, but I would love to have you!! I would really love to reach 300 followers! 
Here are today's blogs:

    Oh what a wonderful doll to be with the Ghastlie collection of fun you have laid out for us. Yes, she does do the Ghastlie sisters proud! What a clever table cloth - but my guests might not leave to kind a message with my cooking. Love both aprons and how wonderful your chair volunteered to be your Ghastlie model. Thank you for sharing your inspiration with all os us today.

    Wow! That doll is amazing. And the tablecloth using the chalkcloth is a excellent idea. How fun for guests to be able to write little notes to you that you might not even see until after they've left. What fun that could be.

    You are so creative in the use of the faces from the fabric and even in using an upside down chair to hold the aprons. What a great idea and certainly one I would not have thought to do. But, hey, it worked right?

    The hostess apron is beautiful with that pink fabric. And the chefs apron is something I would love to have for my own. Great job on all your creations. I went to take a peek at your quilt and was in awe of the little spider and fly faces. Wow. SO creative and just super cute.

    So if you serve your dinner guests while wearing the Ghastly apron, should they have their food tested before indulging? Could be a clue to my cooking skills... Love the doll, she scares the poop out of me. :) If I was that spider, I would high-tail it out of there; knitting needles can be dangerous!

    Oh my goodness Linda! I have lost the ability to come up with new words of appreciation. Every blog is filled with projects and ideas I would never have dreamed of. (I know...ending a sentence with a preposition is bad :D)

    Your ghastlie doll is out of this world and your tablecloth would certainly add to the fun of any celebration. You can invite me to a party any time! Will have to follow you just to see what you come up with next! Chalkboard fabric? Kewl!
