Autumn is slowly making its appearance in my part of Texas. The days are still warm, but there is a breeze. This week, I had a very special autumn evening. My son, Ed, and his wife, Shenika, came to Austin for a business trip. Since they live in a city that is further than I feel comfortable driving, I do not get to see them as much as I would like. The block for this week commemorates this special visit.
Shenika made me two ghost mug rugs and a Halloween wreath. The wreath is hanging on the door to my studio. It reads: The Witch is In.

Block #40 ~October 5
The Witch is In
Background: I used the strips that were leftover from the Halloween place mats that I made.
The background is a remnant of the candy corn fabric that was used in making the place mats.
Technique: My new sewing machine has a foot for stitch-in-the-ditch, so I got to try it out.

I’m having trouble commenting on our site.
I had trouble commenting on Tierney’s site the other day on one of her posts. I’ll try to look up some information on this.
Looks like it’s just your site. I can’t even like your last post and it keeps asking for my email, password and website. Is this something new. I tried doing all of that and still would not let me comment.
I just made some changes on my settings. See if it works now.
Are you having trouble commenting on other sites or just mine?
ok, gonna try this again. I still couldn’t like the post.
Okay I can comment and I like the witch! I have had trouble commenting on some other site though and I am not sure what is going on!
