The words "Best Witches" were quilted with all six strands of orange embroidery floss so that they would really stand out. Otherwise I used three strands for the quilting. I figured you'd like to see a better shot of my poor mutant witch. I tried to embroider a face on her, and it just looked terrible. So I gave her some hair and a waving stick arm and left it at that. Bet you knew that was a witch - she has the appropriate headgear. And it does say witch right below her...
Some mummy loves you, of course.

Have you ever checked out ideas from Stargazey quilts? http://www.stargazey.com/home/index.htm
I love their free form!
Thanks for the compliments. Sam, yes, I like Stargazey quilts. I've never made a quilt entirely in that style tho, just borrowed ideas.
Cindra, thanks for stopping by. I primarily machine piece and hand quilt. I occasionally do some hand applique and have someone else do some machine quilting for me. I've done a wee bit of machine quilting and decided it's definitely not for me.
