Trick or Treat
Smell my feet,
Give me something good to eat!
I have certainly heard that line at least a thousand times through the years from little"trick or treaters" at my door! My version is:
Trick or Treat,
Take a seat,
My Halloween project is now complete!

Maywood Studios came out with this great fabric called Black Cat Crossing. I ordered a fat quarter bundle from the Fat Quarter Shop and made this large wall hanging and the clothing for a doll.
I used a few scraps along with the feature fabric. The cat, birds, and spider (did you see him down there in the lower right hand corner?) are wool applique.

Catrina is my Halloween witch with clothing made from the same line. She's there to keep peace among the cats and birds and to keep those pesky pumpkin smashers away!
Here's wishing you a safe holiday!
Be sure to visit my fellow bloggers today and go to Sew We Quilt to see the top picks. Thank you to Mdm. Samm and to Wendy, at Why Knot Kwilt. They are our wickedly wonderful cheerleaders and are not really wicked at all!
