Paper Piecing & Cross Stitch


Here are my first 2 completed blocks for the Frightful Fun Halloween BOM. I did get my second shingles vaccine on Tuesday. I was sick for a couple of days but started feeling better yesterday. I did manage to sew a little so I finished my ghost block. I really love working on this project.

I made the eye section first and then added the body. All it needs are it's "wings"!


Here's the completed block. I'll have to wait for February 1 for the next blocks.


We've had bone chilling winds for the last week. (It feels like forever!) It's been cold and so dismal. I decided to cheer myself up by starting a Spring cross stitch project. It's from the Spring 2024 issue of Just Cross Stitch. I think it's actually cheering me up a little bit! Have a nice weekend!!

  1. Oh the ghost is so cute!! Nice work...Hope you have a good weekend. i began quilting Strawberries, but the back all bunched up..maybe because i didn't cut the back out of the appliques before layering? I will have to cut it all out now!! ;((( And so it goes...
