Hello Dear Hoppers!
I love these hops! I like looking at what others create and I love the extra push to get what I would love to create done, in fact this hop around I finished up super early. I want to Thank Madame Samm and Wendy for making this a fantastic hop. I first heard about Sew We Quilt during last year's Wicked Hop, so it is so cool that I get to participate in this years.
Now for who has been wicked, I am sure you have seen these fabrics, the Ghastlies. I can just imagine that this is what they are saying.
And that is what I did, I made a lovely Sewing machine cover, with this group of gals on the front, plus some ruffles just for fun.
I invited the whole Ghastlie family over to be a part of this sewing room gift set.
This Sewing Room set is on it's way to America, in fact I really hope it arrives tomorrow for Halloween, if it didn't today. It is for Roxanne of Scrapbook-ChickADoodle, we did a PIF exchange, she sent me this lovely package and I was able to make a sewing machine cover with the material she sent, so I thought I would make her one too, she said she loved the ghastlies and the color red, so I hope she likes it.
The interior of the sewing machine cover can be used as a sewing mat, with pockets, you just put it under your machine while sewing. The red fabric is actually an up-cycled Victoria Secret bra shelf tee, where the bra shelf did not fit and so was never worn, a really nice material to have against the skin or in this case against your machine.
I bound it with a silk ribbon and also made them as ties.
A sewing room isn't complete with out your very own Quilt Shop Wall Hanging, this is a modified version of Carrie Payne's "Quilt Shop", I own the pattern and plan on making a real one in a few months for my sewing room. This is the "Wicked Girl" version, because I am sure every little girl calls all fabric MINE!
This little girl has shelves loaded with Boo Crew and Road 15 fabrics from Sweetwater, plus her sewing machine and lots of orange fabrics.

I also made a pumpkin pincushion to go with the sewing set and now it is perfect, Thank you Madame Samm for a great tutorial.
Make sure you check out everyone else's Wicked creations today.
P.S. I am going to America in less than 2 weeks, check my itinerary and if you know a good fabric shop along the way, please tell. We will be driving from Colorado to California, I will be coming back with lots of goodies and just might share with a giveaway.

Fun! I love the addition of her blankie :)
You did a fantastic job on all your pieces, Mara. Love how the machine cover and the chevron pumpkin turned out. Roxanne surely will too.
The "MINE" quilt turned out super cute! I especially like the sewing machine, the tape fabric was brilliant :) Thank you for sharing!
I love the Ghastlies, and this fabric made a terrific sewing machine cover! The "Mine" quilt is really cute, and I love that cute, little pumpkin! Great job!
How Wickedly clever of you to use Ghastlies fabric for your sewing room inspiration. Thank you for joining this Wicked Wonderful hop. BOO-tiful...
Love all of your projects are terrific. I love the wall hanging, especially the 3d blankie. Great detail.
How Ghastly! And Wickedly fun. It doesn't look like it is on your route but if you do swing a little farther south in California you should visit Quilt in a Day and Cozy Quilt Shop. Also if you have a smart phone There is a free app called Quilt Shops that finds nearby quilt shops for you. I never travel without it. Welcome to America! I hope you enjoy your visit!
What wicked fun you had with your projects! The wall hanging is just too awesome and I love that the pumpkin pincushion isn't the typical orange, but matches the quilt and that great sewing machine cover. Well done--I'm sure it will all be well received! Thanks for sharing your lovely work.
Ghastlie projects. Your pumpkin pin cushion is adorable. Thank you for sharing. Happy Halloween.
Absollutely adorable!! Love the ruffles and never tire of the Ghastlies fabric. The "Wicked Girl" reminds me of myself; 'mine' and I even hate using the fabric!
