Halloween Decor #3

 I Love to embroider. I've made a few Halloween pillows, but I've given the others away. This one I kept, but I need to re-stuff.  I go online to free font websites, such as 1001fonts.com. There are many fun halloween fonts, another favorite of mine is the letters all made from bones. I download the font and print out my words, then trace it onto my white muslin. I added the spiders by just winging it. Turned out pretty fun. Even my 3 year old (that is recently afraid of spiders) likes it!

Up close detail for you.

Happy Haunting!

Americana Embroidery

I did this little embroidery years ago (I think it's been at least 4). And never finished it. I didn't want it as a pillow, b/c I don't like them as pillows so much, and I never put them out. So It sat at the bottom of a box with other unfinished projects. Then I found a frame at DI w/ the right dimensions. A fresh coat of paint, sanded down the edges.  Hooray! It's great to have an old project completed!

Let It Snow!

This was a Christmas gift for my mom. I prefer to frame the embroidery as opposed to a pillow.  Maybe because I like to give the frames a make over! I used a font and traced my image onto muslin. I have so  many embroidery projects I haven't shared. I was making them for each of my cousin's children, then it became a little daunting, so I haven't done any for almost 3 years now, and would have 6 to do! I know only six, but I don't have enough follow through I guess. One day I will do them, but in light of one of my resolutions, I need to finish one project before I start the next, and I have 3 projects I'm in the middle of that I started the new year with! So maybe I can make that a goal for this year, is to get caught up on those, but in due time of course!
