This weekend, my sewing machine was humming along...I managed to get some more Halloween machine embroidered ornaments finished and listed in
my Etsy shop...and I made eight little Halloween pillows/pincushions. I cut small witches, bats, and and jack-o-lanterns out of wool felt and appliqued them onto 5" squares of fun Halloween fabrics....then I backed them with more fun fabrics and used rick rack for edging. I love working with tiny motifs, so the witches (3.25" x 2.75"), jack-o-lanterns (3" x 2.25"), and bats (1.5" x .75") were a treat for me to appliqué! It was also quite enjoyable to choose the Halloween fabrics...I used charm packs and chose prints from several different Moda collections. I will be getting these spooky little pillows/pincushions listed in
my Etsy shop in the next few days - in plenty of time for your Halloween decorating!

I also worked on some adorable patchwork pink heart pillows/pincushions and I will be back to share those with you very soon!
One final note today...for those of you working on
my new Halloween design "Mischief at Midnight" - I have listed a very limited number of finishing kits for this project in
my Etsy shop - these are the same finishing materials used for the model and original class kits...and all the supplies are pre-cut and ready for use (it is a finishing kit only - you will have to purchase the chart and the stitching supplies from your needlework shop of choice). UPDATE - THESE ARE SOLD OUT.
Enjoy your week...
