Is anyone else out there doing the Hocuspocusville quilt? I know Vickie and Robin are, and actually after I saw Vickie working on her embroidery blocks back in May I decided that I had to do that quilt. It is of course another Crabapple Hill pattern and I'm obsessed with their stuff so I the minute my pattern and fabric arrived on Wednesday I immediately traced it. I wasn't going to start working on it right away because I'm already doing their Berry Pickin project but I said to myself on Thursday while I was waiting for family to arrive "just a few stitches to see how it looks".....well, a few turned into a LOT of stitches that night. 
I couldn't help myself, once I picked up the needle and floss and started I kept at it until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. Since I'm not involved in anything major right now at the machine I decided to make up the 9 patch blocks that make up the center of the quilt. The shop I'm doing this with supplied the fabric for everything plus black floss and they even sent along a brown pigma pen to trace it all. I am taking this project to work with me and only working on it at lunch and break time so I can focus on my other project at home.

yayyy for HocusPocusVille!! I'm going to start mine soon too Peg! Great job so far!
Wow, that is quite a quilt -- lots and lots of hand stitching. Can't wait to see it finished!
Glad you are doing the BOM. I am still on block one. Maybe you will inspire me to get moving. LOL
Wow, glad to be the inspiration, but I am still on block one. LOL Maybe now I you will inspire me.
Well, sorry about the double entry. I am such a goof. It took me forever to get the password stuff in and when I finally did it, I made a double post. ROFLOL
Peggy, I too purchased the pattern several months ago. Unfortunately, it took the back burner to other "stuff". I am curious, however, what stitch did you decide to use on your embroidery...stem? backstitch? Maybe in Jan. I can begin mine!
What a fantastic project. Once upon a time I used to do stitcheries but no longer. Everytime I see a great project it moves me closer to starting again.
That is one fantastic-looking project. Can't wait to see it as you go along.
Wow, Peggy! That is going to be an awesome quilt.
