I can't wait to see everyone's quilts when they get them done, I will get the machine embroidery design resized for next years swap, it has been torture not having access to my stuff while gone.

Donna we've missed you! You've been the best to let us use your cute pattern! Looking forward to getting the embroidery design!

One down? Do I need to stitch bigger or smaller...or use different colored thread? Does anyone else have such trouble deciding these silly things?

How cute SherriR! I love your background & all of your Halloween fabrics. I love your thread choice! As far as a bigger or smaller stitch it looks like you used a zigzag stitch. I've been experimenting myself with different applique choices. I've always loved the blanket stitch. Satin stitch is just a closer zigzag stitch. Maybe we can have a discussion from everyone on what tips they've found when doing different Applique stitches.

Our Witchy Sue Halloween swap is due in 3 weeks. My how time flies. I hope you're all busily sewing away. I'm really excited to see all of your adorable witches!

Ok. Here is number two. I hope you can see Sue well enough. I just loved the owls in the background.

Here's mine.... just cut out so far. Still debating stitching options.

Everyone's is precious!!

ibex I love your colorful witchy. So festive!

With regards to the labels that are needed on the back of the squares being sent in, are they paper labels pinned to the square? I'm not sure about the protocol.... My first swap.
