Welcome my pretties! Glad you could stop by for a wicked good time.
The plan, upon learning of this Wicked adventure, was grand indeed. A special concoction of goodies that would brew up the perfect project. Another block from Quiltmakers 100 Blocks Volume 4 that got caught in this spider's web was the intention. Once the potion was boiling sufficiently, alterations would have been made to bring the desired results.
The first creature to emerge from the swirling vapors was this giant pumpkin who was dragging this Ghastlie block in his wake. The family portrait photo shoot was underway that day.
The ghost rose silently into the sky along with the Uncle Gunner Ghastlie, who was trying to escape notice. He's a sly one and all beady eyes need to be kept on him.
Ah Prudence. The child that is so misunderstood. She didn't mean to beat Sebastian's tail with that hammer. Really!
The sisters are deciding if I can join their coven. I have the perfect witch's hat already.
These blocks were going to be just the beginning to my Wicked little project. The right recipe was at hand, the perfect inspiration for the season, and the fabric was just waiting for the cobwebs to be dusted off and thrown in the pot.
But then my cauldron exploded! The block pattern was Ghastlie. It did not play nice even when tempted with sweets so my wand blew it to pieces. It's not nice to piss off this witch.
A finished project from these bits will be forthcoming, once the dust has settled and the bits of broken crockery has been swept into the corner. For now I'm off to Diagon Alley to procure a new cauldron from Potage's Cauldron Shop. The new self-stirring model will be the replacement for my old shattered one.
Much applause is given to the spooktacular Madame Samm and Wendy of Why Know Kwilt for brewing up such a hauntingly good time. Be sure you fly on your broomstick over to all the other inhabitants of the Wicked Blog Hop mystery mansion to see what tricks and treats they have brewed up for you.

Candy Corn! It is hard to resist, especially the kind made with honey.
Milky Way bars! Yum!

I have to have candy corn around ~ more for decoration than eating! It's a Halloween must.
Love your Ghastlie blocks.
Love all your Ghastly blocks! They are super Wicked!
Awesome blocks, Michele, and love your spooky post. :) Kit Kat. Don't worry, only one comment it is.. I am scared to think of what spell you will cast on my sewing mojo if I disobey the rules. ;)

Oooh great blocks - those ghastlie ghouls are fabulous arent they (have used them on my blocks too) - love your tales. Thanks for sharing.
You've put a smile on my face with that post. I love your blocks too, but the story was really great! I do hope you didn't blow to much crockery to pieces of this......being a pissed off witch and all.... Have fun in Diagon Alley and remember which brick to tap! I added you to my google reader list and am thoroughly looking forward to reading more!
Great blocks that ghastlie fabric is perfect. When asked I always say chocolate is my favorite but since you asked for one I will narrow it down to peanut butter cups.

I like the taffy type candy that comes in the orange or black wrappers. They have a peanut butter center. We call them peanut butter blossoms but I don't know their 'official' name. Too bad your project didn't want to play, what you did do come out great. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.

Umm---there is only one halloween candy--CANDY CORN!!!! LOL This has been one of my all time favorite candies since I was a little girl. It is such a favorite that over the years I have been given candy corn flavored chapstick (My lips were raw after that one! LOL), candy corn shaped candles....etc.

It's not nice to piss off that witch, huh? OH, I got a good laugh out of that one! You don't scare me lady, I see how kind you are and what a big heart you have (I saw DAnny's quilt, obviously). Loved your Halloween tale and delightfully-frightfully projects!
I would harm anyone messing with my Ghastlies too! Sorry your recipe didn't work out, but often a pinch of this & a dash of that will fix a recipe that didn't work the first time. I'll be waiting. Thanks for sharing. My favourite Halloween candy are Whoppers! The only time of year I'd touch them! (I'm a follower)
