I'm not sure why but I seem to have more Halloween decorations than any other holiday, maybe even Christmas! I think it might be because there are just such cute things to make and they're so easy! I'm pretty excited about this blog hop (a big thank you to Wendy and to Madame Samm for giving this one to us!) and can't wait to show you what I've made. :)
I started out thinking I was only going to make one thing. Just one. Because I have lots of Halloween decorations and not much time...that's what I told myself. I started out with a quilt - this strip quilt is similar to the sock monkey quilt pattern Carol from Just Let Me Quilt has on Craftsy. I added borders to mine and I didn't do the quilt-as-you-go method (which I think she did).
Okay then I just got carried away. That happens to everyone, right? I loved this pattern...I mean, it's wool so what's not to love?
And I was pretty sure one of my daughters needed a table runner so I made this one I call Black Cats on Parade.
Okay, I was done. Over it. Really, really, really done. Except for this one problem. I had so many leftover scraps from the quilt I started with. And I felt like I needed to use up those scraps. I mean wouldn't you need to use up those scraps? So here's how they ended up...three pillows. :)
Okay, I'm done. Really. Done. But you're not! You have more blogs to visit....and you're going to love what you see!

What a great group of projects! Halloween is my favorite also. Thank you for sharing.
Every project, just perfect. Love all of them. I'm like you, I want to just keep going...
Love all of them - I know what you meaning about not being able to finish, I actually found it hard to get going with this hop and spent three weeks wondering what to do then when I started off with a simple idea I ended up with five! Thanks for sharing.
I love the quilt. So many projects you made. Thanks for sharing
Oh my dear. You have been sewing up a storm of wicked things and they are all sew awesome. Thanks for sharing your creativity
Sew many great projects. Love them all, but especially the quilt and the pillows. The stitching is very cute also.
Wow, what creativity. Love the quilt and how you used a strip from the front on the back.
You certainly used your time wisely and got the most from your boo-tiful fabrics!! Loving all of your creations!
Wickedly wonderful creations. My favorites are the embroidery witch and the cats on parade.
I love your projects!! You helped me figure out what do make for the top of the window seat box my husband made this weekend for me!! I will make seasonal quilts to put on top!! Have a great Halloween!!
You may finally be really really done but you my dear were really really busy! Love your projects!
Uffff, what energy! So many great things, I love the stitchery, well done!
But I will only do one project, still busy on that, and it will just be one, this for sure :-)
Gosh - you've been so productive!!
I love your projects - I think my favourite is the KS embroidery!
Great projects! Looks like you've been keeping busy :) Enjoy your decorations.
The pillows are sooooo me, I have to use every last scrap of fabric and the teeny tiny ones go into a box for another ticker tape quilt.
A girl after my own heart!!! No one can ever have enough halloween decorations. It think I have more of them than Christmas too! LOL!
Love your projects, and YES, that little pumpkin face, is just too adorable!
I love it all. But I all ways love everything you create. I love all the color in the quilt and pillows
Great projects and ideas love them. I like decorating for Halloween especially when the grandkids are coming for a visit.
Wow! Well you are an overachiever, aren't you...lol! Your projects are all just fabulous! Great use of scraps on the pillows. I have far more fall/halloween projects than anything else as well. Those just happen to be my very favorite colors, and my very favorite season!
Oh Marlene....your quilt is just fantastic..and the pillows; love them!!
Well; everything is just adorable....I can see how you got carried away....lol
Great bunch of projects! Thanks for sharing.
OMG! You went incredibly wicked on your projects. I love them all!! The black cat runner is one that I'd love to make my daughter-in-law, as she has two black cats. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful creations!!
Great projects! I loved seeing them all. I too have more Halloween/fall decorations than Christmas ones. There is just something about pumpkins and all the fall colors that I love.
Yes so many wicked projects how can I pick one over the other without risking a spell....lol love them, the quilt the pillows post totally wicked

Oh my.... so many projects and each one just wonderful! I love the text fabric that you used in the quilt and pillows....and I love the cat projects..of course. Wonderfully wicked!
Sweet projects but I think the embroidery piece is my favorite, and the wool mat that says boo and....so many great projects.
Love your quilt with the matching pillows.And the cats on the swing and the pumpkin broom skirt and if I missed saying so I loved all of it.
You seem to have a lot of time on your hand to go all out for Wicked, it is a geat display of fun quilts and wall hangins and pillows. You have Wicked it out.
What cute projects! love the quilt and the pillows. I love simple patterns that really make an impact!

Wow Marlene!! You have so many neat Halloween projects, how fun!!
So much inspiration! They are each wonderful!
Marlene you do like Halloween! What wonderful projects. I like them all, but I really think those pillows all scrappy are my fave.
Wow, what beautiful projects... I love them all!!!
Wow! You've been so busy! Each project is just precious!! Great job!
An awesomely Wicked display of creativity! I love that black cat table runner--and all the rest too! :-)
Amazing collection of wicked-good projects! They're all beautiful.

So many beauties to choose from wicked good fun here!!
Oh my! You have been busy! All are terrific. Love the quilt.
My goodness!!! That's a lot of beautiful projects!! LOVE the pillows!!!
You made me giggle! I love all your projects. The quilt is amazing, the pillows are a gorgeous addition! I would however, not give the table runner to the daughter right away. Why not wait till after Halloween (so you can use it on your swing). It is the time to be a bit wicked after all! The little kitty is adorable! Thank you!
So many awesome projects!!! I love them all! Wonderful job on them :)
What cuteness!!!!
Marlene...WOW, that is one spooktacular parade of wicked projects. It is hard to pick a favorite. Way to use up all the scrapes to make the pillows...great job!! Thanks for sharing!!
Wonderful job Marlene!! Love each and every project :) Thank you for sharing :)
I love it all !!! I love when creative juices just keep flowing and flowing and flowing..... But the quilt - it's the top of the list for me.
WOW. one is cuter than the other. Thanks for sharing.
Great projects!!!! One always leads to another:)
Ha! Isn't that how it always is? I love your projects. It's tough to choose a favorite.
You definitely caught the Wicked bug...I love your projects! I've added borders to my strip quilts and love the look. Yours is just beautiful! Yes, I love the face on your embroidered pumpkin. Too cute!
Oh my goodness, what a wonderful overflowing of projects! I never really decorate for Halloween because my daughter's birthday is five days before. I never decorate before her birthday and after it just seems like too much trouble for five days. I make it up at Christmas, though!
Wow, you really outdid yourself! I think your pumpkin would make a very cute apron for the broom.
Hahaha, love it! I really like the Black Cats on Parade, the border is fantastic.
lovely work!! had to pin the pumpkin..gotta make one for myself for sure!
Wow - great projects! I particularly love the wool cat and pumpkin. Great job!
Spookily fantastic work! I do adore that wool cat, too!
I love them girlfriend! The first project is gorgeous. I know several friends who would try and steal that! hee,hee,hee.
Of course you know I do love some wool projects. Fun!
