Candy Corn finish finish finished and happy accident
I was thinking I would have to make a trip to the store to find a Halloween colored cording when a happy accident happened. First I made the candy corn ribbon a little too small to hang on the cupboard knob in my kitchen, so I thought I'd find some orange perle cotton and make a small hanger. Well, low and behold in my #3 perle drawer there was the perfect orange, yellow and white color threads. Now I had already cut the skeins in half, but I made a twisted cord anyway and it fit all the way around the stitching!! So sooner than I thought I give you the finished finish of the corn, front and back! I think you will be able to tell which is which : ]
I still need a way to hang it on the knob and the glue is still drying, but it is done!!

Halloween Finish 2 - Candy Corn
I finish finished another Halloween project. This is a candy corn done at my ANG group last year (if not the year before)! It was designed by one of our chapter members and is not commercially available. The back has some fun candy corn fabric, but some of the canvas still shows and I will need to add some cording around the edge to pretty it up - but I think it is worth a post!!
Happy Halloween Stitching Everyone!!

Check out the "Spooktacular Halloween" give-away over at Dixie Sampler . She has a nice looking blog which is worth a peak as well. I just love finding new (to me) blogs to read, now I just need more hours in the day!

American Patchwork Update 3
A quick switch from Halloween and back to the Fourth of July. I was on a roll recently and finished the stars and blue field of the American Patchwork. Some of the edges are uneven due to way it will be finished - a surprise for later (just not sure how much later)!
Now I am not sure if I will do all the white stripes then all the red stripes, or each block as it arrives in the book and placed as charted (which will mean scattered all over - kind of hard to explain) or just work from the top down. Decisions, decisions.
Happy Saturday Everyone!!!
