Halloween & Quilting


The other day I was at the fabric store. I couldn't help but look at the fabric remnants. Lately there have been some wonderful Halloween fabric in there. I love holiday fabric. Well I lucked out. There was a tone on tone black spider web fabric. The kind where the webs are velvet. It was a 1 yard remnant, marked down, and then it was on sale! Normally it is about $10 a yard, and I got this 1 yard for about $2. I folded it in half, right sides together, and then sewed 2 sides together. Then I turned it right side out, and sewed all 4 sides (after folding the raw side in). Now it is the perfect table runner for Halloween. I love it.


I also took out my Halloween decorations and placed some in the yard and others on the fire place. Other than my wreaths, that have been out all month, I was lazy about decorating. No one decorates in my neighborhood, so I didn't feel inspired to until today. It's because my mom is coming to visit tomorrow.


I have also been hand quilting a quilt for my grandma. I pieced it in January out of my stash fabric. The pattern is from a quilt a day calendar that I got for Christmas last year. I am trying to quilt a block a day. That way it will be done by Christmas. I haven't touched it since June, so I am really trying to finish it now.
