Witches, and Witches, and More Witches…Oh My!

Witches, and witches, and more witches…OH MY! Witch blocks are so much fun! Welcome to the PEEK-A-WHO BLOG HOP, sponsored by Marian Pena at Seams To Be Sew. This blog hop is for sharing some fun Halloween ideas, and I have been very busy designing for Halloween since it is my favorite!

Make sure to read all the way to the end of this post so you don’t miss the GIVE-AWAYS!

Here is a brand new pillow pattern called WITCHY POO PILLOW. This pillow fits a 12″x 22″ pillow form. It is paper pieced and so much fun! I added 1″ wide rick rack around my blocks. This is such an easy way to add a little pizzaz. The rick rack is attached by sewing it directly over the seam between the blocks and the outer border. I stopped stitching an inch before the corner, turned the pillow, and pinched the rick rack into a “mitered” corner. Then I resumed sewing until an inch from the next corner. It makes a nice “frame” around the paper pieced portion.

 

 

 

Shelley made her Witchy Poo with orange rick rack, and Donna used a cute “BOO” ribbon as a border. She found the ribbon at Michael’s Craft store. So clever!

This is TOOTHY WITCH. The block finishes at 8″x 8″ and can be used in a pillow, potholder, or whatever! It was fun choosing fabric for her hat and hair.

This is HAPPY WITCH. She’s the kind of witch I wouldn’t mind meeting on Halloween!

And here’s a witch I designed last year…BEWITCHED. She’s still a favorite! My goal is to put all 3 of these cute witches into a table runner…I just haven’t had time yet! If you make a clever project using any of my witches and you share a photo with me, I would love to post it on my website. Send the photo to my email at: maryannhertel@gmail.com

WITCHY PILLOW is another cute throw pillow for your sofa for the fall season. Find a striped Halloween fabric for the socks, and this paper pieced design is a breeze.

This pillow was done by my friend Eva using the new Halloween fabric line from Studio Fabric, “Me and My Ghoul Friends”.   Isn’t it adorable?

Made By Marney paper pieced patterns can be found on ETSY or CRAFTSY. Thanks for stopping by, and please leave a COMMENT.

  1. Those are ALL so cute, I don’t even know how to pick a favorite! These are so creative! I’ll love seeing all the witches in one. I do like the Witch’s legs a lot. I’m going to have to think about this! I’m not a paper piecer, and I think last year’s Bewitched is probably the easiest paper piecing, because the hat is just a point and the pieces are large. Thanks so much for this great inspiration!

    1. Hi Susan! You are right, Bewitched IS the easiest, and a real customer fave, probably because of that. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a great comment!

  2. I really like this new witch. It is amazing how a fabric can change the entire feeling the witch gives off.

    1. Hello Robin, I agree! Fabric choice is crucial to a successful project. Thanks for visiting Made By Marney today 🙂
