Primitive and Victorian Halloween Home Decor

Yes, there are times when I go from one extreme to the other.  I love my simple old fashioned embroidery and I adore my crazy quilting!  So I bounce back and forth between the two styles.  Simple embroidery is easier for me to take out and deck to stitch so I do more of it in the Summer months.

For today, I have a Primitive Halloween Pillow and a Victorian Crazy Quilt Halloween Pillow to share:

Next, I'll be stitching up the model for Lesson 7 of my Crazy Quilt Color & Composition Course.  Hmmm...wonder what the theme will be!  Only I know! 

Crazy Quilt Halloween Pillow

I finished up this Crazy Quilt Halloween Pillow yesterday morning:

I'll sew this up in another day or two and list it in my Etsy shop.

I also thought you'd enjoy seeing a new picture of my little Wrigley:

He's such a sweet little kitty!  I love it when he sits in the beanies!

Halloween Hanging Pillows

I spent a day sewing last week and I was able to get my Halloween Hanging Pillows sewn together:

I have 2 more Halloween projects to finish and then I'll do some Christmas things.

In the meantime, after rearranging my cupboards in the kitchen this morning, doing laundry and washing my floor, I played around a little with my graphic software.  I haven't really done that in a while.  Anyway, I made these printable tags with roses:

Please feel free to print them up and use them on your gifts or for your craft projects!

Motifs from Elegant Cross Stitch Sentiments For Crazy Quilting

I have some finishes to share but I need to take photos of them so I'll post those tomorrow.  In the meantime, I thought I'd share the motifs that can be found in my new book, Elegant Cross Stitch Sentiments For Crazy Quilting:

Also, for anyone looking for my cross stitch patterns, they have found a permanent home in Jason's Etsy Shop.  Pam Kellogg's Cross Stitch Patterns can be found here.

Jason will continue to add my patterns as he has time.

Lesson 6 - Color and Composition Course

Lesson 6 of my online Crazy Quilt Color and Composition Course is now available:

Strawberry Fields covers freehand vines, spider web and spider and how to make a motif stand out.  These crazy quilt classes are available at Magcloud.

 A special thank you to my assistant and editor Jason for doing such a great job with my books and lessons!
