When you light candles for yourself remember there are basic magical associations for each color. It is ideal to use a candle whose color matches your intention for your spell; however, we don’t always have the correct color on hand, so what do you do?
When the energy is running high they can melt down quickly and you ll end up with a huge pool of molten wax on the plate and that can cause really high flames as well, so the chimes can become a real fire hazard. You can bury them on your property or if you rent put them in a potted plant, or just put them in a plastic baggy and store them where no one will bother them.

Color binding magic
There is now a video of this technique. Go to this post to watch the video.
I met Susie at Quilting in the Pines last weekend. She drives a pumpkin orange (or Tangerine Tango, the color of the year!) Audi TT. And she demonstrated the coolest completely-machine-sewn binding I've ever seen!
1. For this technique, you will need a main binding color and an accent color. Of course, you can use the same color for both -- but why bother with this technique, then?
2. Trim the excess batting back backing from your quilt. Then measure the perimeter and add 10" or so.
3. Cut as many strips of the main (outer) binding fabric as you need to total the perimeter of your quilt at 1 1/2" wide.
4. Cut the same number of flange (accent) strips at 1 3/4".
5. Sew the strips of each fabric together end to end. I always use a mitered join to minimize bulk.
6. Sew the main color and the accent color together lengthwise using a 1/4" seam. You now have two strips equal to the perimeter of your quilt.
7. Press toward the main (1 1/2" strip) fabric.
8. Then press lengthwise with wrong sides together and raw edges even. See how a narrow piping/flange appears when you meet the raw edges?
9. Leave a 10" tail and begin sewing the binding to the back side of your quilt , with the contrast color facing up, using a 1/4" seam.
10. In January I wrote a tutorial on mitering binding corners. It also shows how to join the two ends of the binding.
11. Once the binding is attached all the way around your quilt, lightly press the binding toward the cut edge. This will make wrapping the binding to the front side of the quilt easier.
12. Now wrap the binding to the front, and using thread that matches the flange (or use Superior Threads' Mono Poly) "stitch in the ditch" between the flange and the main binding fabric.
Miter the corners as you would any binding:
13. Join the two ends of the binding as shown in my January tutorial, with this exception. In order to make the flange meet evenly, place a pin through the seam line from the wrong side:
(This is a sample -- not the actual binding on the quilt!) Sew across the two ends of the binding at a 45 degree angle:
And you'll have a perfect join!
Doesn't this technique look great? And it's completely done by machine -- no tedious hand stitching the binding in place!
According to Susie, this technique is approved for use on Quilts of Valor (previously, they required bindings be hand-sewn in place).
This will certainly be my binding method of choice from now on! Thanks, Susie!
Addendum
Several readers have asked me to show what the reverse side of the quilt looks like when this binding method is used. Here is a photo from Quiltmaker's Quilty Pleasures blog showing the reverse of my Mandarin Express Scrap Squad quilt:
Can you see the single line of stitching just to the left of the binding at the right-hand side of the photo? That's the bobbin thread from stitching in the ditch of the Magic Binding flange.
Here's another view, also showing the lovely machine quilting by Ann Reinelt:
Nice, huh? Now, go forth and bind!

Reviews for "Breeze Crochet Witch Hat Trends to Try This Season"
1. Samantha - 2 stars
I was really excited to receive the Breeze crochet witch hat, but unfortunately, I was disappointed with the product. The material felt cheap and scratchy against my skin, and I found it uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Additionally, the hat didn't have a secure fit, constantly slipping off my head even with the adjustable strap. Overall, I expected better quality and functionality from this product.
2. Michael - 1 star
I purchased the Breeze crochet witch hat for a Halloween costume, but it ended up being a waste of money. The hat arrived with loose threads hanging out, which made it look cheap and poorly made. Furthermore, the fit was completely off - it was too small for my head and didn't provide the desired stylish look. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a high-quality witch hat option.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I have to say I was quite disappointed with the Breeze crochet witch hat. The design looked cute in the pictures, but the hat I received had a completely different shape and appearance. The brim wasn't as wide as advertised, and the crochet pattern looked sloppy. Additionally, the hat didn't fit comfortably on my head, feeling tight and restrictive. I had high hopes for this hat, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations in terms of quality and appearance.
