My Favorite Halloween Placemat Tutorial
Have you noticed a theme in my Halloween Decor? I love spiders! I think they are fascinating; the way they make their webs, how they move around so much, even the designs on their bodies. It’s probably because “Charlotte’s Web” and “Be NiceTo Spiders” were my favorite books growing up. Halloween gives me a chance to put cute, spider-y things all over the house! (Let’s be honest, spider decor all year round is just creepy). A few years ago I bought cute spider web placemats for my breakfast table but the center of the table was naked! It needed a little something, so I made this wonderful placemat for the…

One Great Halloween Table Topper
The Halloween spirit continues with this fun table topper! For this one, I picked some of the fun Halloween fabric from my stash and just started cutting wedges with my 10° Wedge Ruler.

The first thing to do is to just sew strips together until you get a circle that lays flat. Next, I needed a template to…

Another Easy Halloween Embroidery Idea
One of the things I love about machine embroidery is that I can make really cute things pretty quickly! With the right design and some good quality thread, I can spruce up an ordinary jar is a half hour. I was actually surprised at how easy it was to embroider on this burlap wire ribbon. I simply hooped a piece of Sulky Sticky+ ™ stabilizer and then stuck the ribbon to that. I then put a piece of Sulky Heat-Away™ as a topper. If you have ever smelled wet burlap, you know why I used Heat Away instead of Solvy! I used this cute Boo design that is available from…
