I worked and finished the two witches and here is a snap of how they turned out -
I am really happy with the way they look!! I have also blocked out the squares for everyone - they are about 50x50 so not too big. I need to do some stuff along the bottom of the piece - House, fence, trees more pumpkins....
I also worked on a couple of exchange pieces and a giftie - but can't show any of that.
I saw some really good movies this weekend starting off with "In Which We Serve" - 1942 - a really great WWII movie of flashbacks. If you get the chance this is a really good movie. Then there was "The Battle of the Bulge"-1965 an interesting and long movie at 2 hours and 50 mins. It seems to me there were too many story lines and it was kind of choppy - Then there was "Destination Tokyo" - 1943 with Cary Grant and John Garfield. A very good submarine movie - but some pretty hokey looking special effects!! Then there was "The Music Man" -1962 with Robert Preston and Shirley Jones - I love this musical and could watch it dozens of times - and I have!! Then last night on TCM was Robert Donat night. They showed two great movies - "Goodbye Mr. Chips" - 1939 for which he won the Oscar. This was followed by "The Count of Monte Cristo" - 1934. What a really great movie!! I had never seen this version and really enjoyed it!!
I hope everyone had a great weekend!! Thanks for stopping by!!
Take care,

love your witches!!! These halloween RR's are going to be great fun to watch grow :)
ReplyDeleteGreat movie weekend eh? I haven't seen The Music Man in ages! I always enjoyed it :)
I did watch The Apartment on Sunday .. forgot how good that movie was! I just adore Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine was great!
Your Halloween RR is fantastic! Did I mention I love that fabric?!?!
ReplyDeleteLove the witches!
ReplyDeleteYou've made a great start to your RR. I'm looking forward to seeing how they all progress.
ReplyDeleteThose scary witches are reproducing - will there be 3 in the next picture? They look great against that beautiful fabric. This is going to be a lovely Halloween piece.
ReplyDeleteThe RR is looking fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI watched the count of monte cristo last night as well. Wonderful movie. I tried to stay up and watch the silent film Loorna Doone, but just couldnt keep my eyes open LOL

ReplyDeleteNow there's two cute witches!! Well done
Those two witches are kind of like "angels" at the top of your Halloween RR! Okay, maybe that's a bit of a stretch! LOL. It looks great Edgar. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThose are the sweetest witches! The movies you watched brought back fond memories of my dad and I cracking nuts and eating strawberries dipped in chocolate while watching these classics.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finish to your RR setup, Edgar! Love the fabby, and it all sets the perfect Halloween mood.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to watching the progress on this, and all of the others. Everyone has picked (and made) such awesome fabric!!
