Halloween is nigh upon us. If you haven't gotten your decorating done, time to get on it. I had to whip up a pillow for Quilt Guild the other night. I seem to struggle getting there due to The Mister's school schedule. Insert sigh here. We are so close to being done. I will sacrifice Guild for his schooling. But it was fun to go. Of course that meant I had to make a pillow case fast fast!
A little string quilting later and I had half a web. I had run out of time to complete the other half, so I used a little fusible web, attached it to the black fabric, cut out a nice web-y shape and appliqued it on with florescent green thread. It was too plain, insert white widow also attached using fusible web and neon thread.
I quite like how the color scheme came together. I knew I wanted gray and cream as part of the web, but then I was inspired to add the candy corn colors in. Cute, fun and different from other things I've seen.
If you need a little quick inspiration for some holiday decor, check out my Homemade Halloween for Everyone series I did last year:
Thanks for reading and happy decorating!!

ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this pillow. I love how you pieced the top together to resemble a web and I adore the glow in the dark spider dangling down. You, my dear, are so talented.

ReplyDeleteSo cute! The only "decorating" I'm doing for Halloween this year is to be a witch. At least, that's what Phil thinks.

I had a real black spider in my car day before yesterday. He wasn't cute, but your pillow is (pinning it). :)
ReplyDeleteReally sharp, love the cream and grey with the orange, and did you say you appliqued that spider yourself? Either way, it's and adorable pillow and design - Pinned :)
