Leaves and Witches

Last year I did an applique pattern called Demure witches.  It sold out and I was wishing that I had more of them.  I started another set this year, but they are taking me too long and I'm not going to get them online in time to sell.  Of course, I do have them ready to finish if anyone decides to special order one.  Mouths and eyes, and quilt it out.  Three of them are just That Close!

So then I started working on fall leaves.  I am really driven to use up scraps and buy as little fabric as possible, so I picked some nice fall colors and set to work on small and large leaves.  To tell the truth, I'm not as happy with the results as I'd like to be, but then it is often the work that I don't like as well that sells the fastest, so this one goes into the "ready to be finished" pile and I'm on to the next project. 

As you can see, I still have plenty of "scraps" to use up for several more projects, so SEW!!  I can't wait to get more of the blocks done for the next one, I'm setting the fall color leaves on a black background for a couch throw.  That will be fun.  At least the row of greens and rusts are disappearing.  I need to find an ocean something to do to use up some of those blues.  Turtles and frogs are in the future, I can tell!
