In a peculiar turn of events, a dwelling came toppling down onto a witch, causing quite a commotion. This bizarre incident occurred in the small town of Wychwood, known for its mystical elements and folklore. The witch in question, who was said to possess extraordinary powers, had taken up residence in an old, dilapidated house on the outskirts of town. The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are unclear, but witnesses described a loud crash followed by a cloud of dust and debris. Immediately, concerned townspeople rushed to the scene to offer assistance to the witch, whose identity remains anonymous. Authorities were also alerted and arrived promptly to survey the situation.
“These let me shift between forms at will, and while I admit I’m certainly a little more primal than I used to be, I’m still by far the smartest Lycanthrope in these woods. With the mind of a woman, the magic of a Witch, and now the strength of a Lycan, this forest is my domain.
And if the Grand Priestess still won t relent, then I ll send my people to covertly spread Lycanthropy throughout her realm and bring it down from the inside, returning all of Widdickire to a state of primeval nature. The good news is that they don t hunt men for food unless they re starving, and if they see we re armed they won t risk a confrontation without the advantage of numbers on their side.
Authorities were also alerted and arrived promptly to survey the situation. Miraculously, the witch emerged from the wreckage unscathed, seemingly untouched by the falling structure. Many attributed this to her alleged supernatural abilities, speculating that she had somehow protected herself in the face of danger.
Someone Dropped a House On My Sister
The tune “Back in the Saddle Again” is playing in my head as I stare into the Shultz & Dooley mirror hanging over my sewing machine.
I’m getting ready to work on the Wicked Witch Panel below. I’m a Wizard of Oz fan! This is my first project in the new house. The panel measures 34″x42″. I decided to add Lemoyne Star cornerstones and stripped borders. I pulled the colors from the panel, Kona Black, Midnight Blue and Grass green to match the Witch’s Skin.
I know I have blogged about the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star Ruler before but thought I would reiterate some tips.
Below I have cut 2 background strips and two star strips. I know these are dark colors but I like the way they work with the panel. I have marked my background strips A and B and 2 additional marks down from the top of the strips on the adjacent, inside edges the same distance as the strip is wide. What that means is; I chose to make an 8″ finished Lemoyne star so I cut my background strip 3 3/4″ wide by width of fabric (WOF). So I marked the inside edges down 3 3/4″. With right sides together I place the star strips on the marks as shown.
Stitch the strips as shown.
Quilting is a Pressing Matter. What I love about Studio 180 Design Tools is the care Deb Tucker takes in telling you how to press your seams. I did not know this until I was Studio 180 Design Teacher Certification Training, “Whatever You Are Pressing Toward – Goes On Top”! Genius!
When pressing strip A, the seam gets pressed toward the background strip. I then place the strip on the ironing board with background side on top and press. Strip B seam is pressed toward the star strip, so then the I place the strip with star strip on top. We now have mirror images.
Place Strip B right up on the table, then place strip A on top, right sides together. I start by just matching up the edges. Then using my fingers feel along the seams to determine if the seams are nesting properly. I always gently peel back each end to see if the seams are nesting. If we pressed the seams correctly it will nest nicely.
Now we are going to establish a 45 degree angle by placing the edge of the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star ruler on the stitched seam line and then bump up another cutting ruler against the angled edge.
Make the first cut.
Place the cutting ruler on that beautiful 45 degree angle and cut strips the width of your star strip. For an 8″ Lemoyne Star I cut 2 1/5″ strips. So I make a 2 1/2″ cut.
You can go ahead and make all your 2 1/2″ cuts, but I prefer to make the first cut and then make the second cut by going vertically south to north and position the ruler edge at the tip of the star point and trim straight up.
These triangles will be the side pieces for your unit.
Once all your units are cut, open your units with A on the right and B on the left as shown below.
This is a great tip from fellow teacher Jane Godshall: Take two paper plates, label one A and one B. Open your units as shown above place all the A units on one plate and B units on the other. This will save you from confusing them.
Take plate “A” to the sewing machine, center and stitch one side triangle to each unit.
Chain stitch all the “A” Units.
Take the chain to the ironing board. “A” pieces will be pressed toward the star point fabric so lay the chain with the star point fabric on top.
By chain stitching the “A” units together and pressing, it keeps your brains from falling out trying to keep straight what unit you are working on.
Now chain stitch the side triangles to the “B” units with the side triangles on top.
Our “A” and “B” units are ready to trim.
Sorry for the glare, I’m having lighting issues. I don’t care for most ruler gripping products but I love InvisiGrip. This product helps keep your ruler from sliding with bunching up your fabric when you are positioning the ruler. You will definitely want to use some on your Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star Ruler. As you put pressure on the ruler toward the point it will keep it from moving.
Sorry my fabric is so dark. Place your unit with the star point facing towards 2 o’clock, this helps with trimming both sides without repositioning the unit. I am making 8″ Lemoyne stars so I align the desired block size lines with the sewn seam lines. You really want a sharp blade in your rotary cutter for this trim!
Trim all your units before sewing the “A” and “B” together.
Once the “A” and “B” units are sewn together, trim the dog ears from the star points. Sew 4 units to make a block.
Square up using your Tucker Trimmer 3.
I think it came out pretty good. it measures 52″x60″.
“Yes, that’s correct, Mr. Faxton; but I’m fine with calling them turnskins or whatever else you prefer,” Thorogood nodded. “As discussed in our letters, Her Eminence is increasingly concerned about the steady rise in Lycan attacks along the frontier.”
As news of the incident spread throughout Wychwood, the townspeople were divided in their reactions. Some felt a sense of relief that the witch had survived unharmed, believing that her presence brought good fortune to the town. Others, however, saw this event as a sign of danger and a potential threat to their community. Rumors and stories circulated about the witch's intentions and her possible involvement in more sinister activities. With the dwelling now completely destroyed, the witch was left without a place to reside. This presented a new challenge for the town, as they grappled with the question of what to do with the displaced witch. Some advocated for her relocation to a more suitable dwelling, while others called for her banishment from Wychwood altogether. Amidst the debates and speculations, the true cause of the dwelling toppling onto the witch remained a mystery. Some believed it to be a mere accident, while others suspected foul play or even a deliberate act of retribution. Nevertheless, the incident served as a stark reminder of the complex relationship between the mystical and the mundane in the town of Wychwood. In the end, the dwelling toppling onto the witch became a symbol of the tensions and uncertainties that permeated the town. It exposed the deeply rooted beliefs and fears of the community, challenging their perceptions of magic and the supernatural. Whether this event would lead to a greater understanding and acceptance of the witch or deepen the divide within Wychwood was yet to be seen. But one thing was certain - the incident had left an indelible mark on the town and its inhabitants, forever changing the way they viewed the world around them..

1. John - ★☆☆☆☆
I recently watched "Dwelling toppling onto witch" and I was extremely disappointed. The storyline was confusing and didn't make much sense. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any depth. The acting was subpar and at times it felt like the cast wasn't even trying. The special effects were laughable and took away any potential for genuine scares. Overall, the movie felt like a cheap, low-budget attempt at a horror film and I would not recommend wasting your time on it.

"Dwelling toppling onto witch" had an interesting concept, but unfortunately, it failed to deliver. The pacing was way too slow and the movie was filled with unnecessary filler scenes that didn't contribute to the overall story. The scares were predictable and lacked any real tension. The characters made a lot of stupid decisions that felt forced and unnatural. The twist at the end was cliché and didn't add anything new to the genre. While the film had potential, it fell flat and left me feeling underwhelmed.
