Wicked Blog Hop! Today is MY Day!

Greetings all you Wicked Blog Hoppers!

I hope you have been having a wicked good time as you troll the web looking for spooky Halloween projects! Hasn’t this been fun?

Since Halloween is almost here, I thought by now your wicked little brains would be so full of ghosts, goblins, spiders, bats and other spooky things, that you would be ready to have a spook break!

Row House Runner

But first, here is my Halloween runner (because I just had to show it to you!). I made one for myself and one one for my daughter’s new apartment. It was wicked fun!

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t you love this print?DSC08802

 

 

 

 

And my back?DSC08805

DSC08806And her back?

 

 

But that is not my Wicked project for you!

 

What holiday comes after this most scary and ghostly one?

Thanksgiving! And what is (almost) everyone’s favorite part of Thanksgiving?

The leftovers, of course!

IMG_6274 copy

 

So here is my Wicked project- Leftovers!

 

 

 

I created this fun runner on the fly- DSC08674I grabbed some fabrics, cut some strips, and voila! The runner was born!

I put together a tutorial for you in case you want to make your own version of Leftovers!

 

 

If you are looking for our Leftovers! pattern, just click here.

 

Even better, in this video I show you two ways to cut those parallelograms – one using a regular ruler and one using the Cottage Ruler from Creative Grids.

The ruler was fun and made the cutting go so quick!

 

 

 

But wait– there is more Wickedness afloat- we have a fabric giveaway for you!

    THX for the leftovers file as your example turned out wonderfully. Love the wicked cute runners. Should I be lucky enough to win your giveaway it truly would not matter which one though Wonderfully Wicked might be more my style, if I indeed HAVE a style. I do a good bit of folk arty stuff, I guess.

Love both sets of fabric but if I had to pick just one … wonderfully wicked. That was my first choice so sticking with it. I know your daughter will be proud to display such a wonderful runner.
