Black Cat Crossing - My Turn

I had a heck of a time getting my act together for this hop.  I didn't know what I wanted to do so it made it very difficult to order the fabric. As the clock was running down I decided to order some yardage and the panel and hopped for inspiration. Then once I got the fabric I didn't want to cut into it. I could just look and feel this fabric for days, it is so cool.  OK I had to cut into it, after all  I was committed to the hop.  So what could I do and still leave the fabric in good size pieces.  Ta Da Stuff for our bed.


I started with a couple of  pillow cases. Large uncut use of the fabric. The spider webs are perfect for creepy dreams


Ok a tad boring for decorating a King Size bed.


How about a piece of the panel with some black trim thrown in for good measure


Not quite the look I was going for. A King bed is really wide.


Maybe another will make it work


Lets make it 2 more


I think I'm Happy Now,

Yes, Very Happy




This is just an added extra not really part of the hop. Saturday I went to a birthday party for 2 of my nieces, one of whom loves Halloween.


 I had some scraps left over from the pillows so she lucked out and got a Black Cat Crossing purse for her birthday check holder. She was very happy.


I now want to thank Madame Samm and Wendy at Why Knot Kwilt for doing what it is that they do  so well, inspire and cheer us on. 

I also want to thank Maywood Studios for this wonderful fabric line that has inspired so many of us .

Please stop and visit the other wickedly talented ladies who are participating today in this hop. You can find them listed for your convenience right here.

    I really like your pillow ensemble - very nice effect! Except!!! YOU'RE the one who did it!!! ;D With those spider-web creepy-dreams fabrics. (hehe) The other morning I woke up with a jerk from a nightmare of vacuuming [who dreams of vacuuming????] and as the sweeper headed for a huge nasty spider on the carpet, the freaky thing jumped straight at my head - waking me instantly with that same "falling" lurch of a feeling.
