What a week and my Halloween Wall Hanging

I have been just been so busy all week. I had trauma today with my hearing aid. It was broken and I kept putting off getting it fixed. It worked but the case was cracked. Today it finally died. My good set that I am supposed to be using had one of the hearing aids broken. I thought at least I have one good one. Well that one does not work either. I have 1 good hearing aid out of 4. I will go to the Veterans Adminstration early next week to get this taken care of. Until then I won't be hearing very well at all.

I worked on my Y2K quilt. Today I sewed a block together and took another apart. I am slowly getting the quilt completed.

I wanted to do a Halloween Wallhanging. I have decided I need a wall hanging for each season/holiday for the entry way. So today I worked on the Halloween Wallhanging. I used my embroidery machine. I had not used it for way too long. I had to read the instruction manual to use it. Yes it had been that long. The I had to find the software for the embroidery. My software is version 4 and the new version 8 came out. Well my PE Design will not work with my laptop. It does not recognize the security device. The main reason is I do not have the same size hookup and I tried using a external hookup but still not working. Right now I was able to just use the embroidery machine to see the design.

Speaking of the design. I did not like the colors that I used. I should have used a dark gray and mine does not look that dark. So I don't have enough contrast. I have another Halloween Tweet design I purchased from Embroidery LIbrary so I may do a second wall hanging and use different colors. Here are pictures. It is not quilted yet. I am planning on trying the stiple quilting around the Tweets. I thought I should take a picture before I give the quilting on the machine a try.



Here is the embroidery design. Embroidery Libray has a tweet for all seasons and so many more like the first responders and the hairdresser. I think they have a bowling tweet too.
