a freebie pattern she got from Facebook. I joined a row by row group because it is Christmas, but I doubt I will be able to keep up. They post 4 or 5 a week and I can't get that many done. I'm not superwoman although I would love to be.
I went over to Sewetc., in Burlington and picked out the fabric, came home, traced and fused. The yellow screamed at me ..... "take me off, take me off"
but found a really nice black/white variegated in my box so opted for that instead of buying a new spool of thread.
Before I go any further, let me say, my old quilting buddy came for a visit and claimed this as soon as he saw it. Lost another one!
After another trip over to the store, I found a green that would work for the inner border and got it finished too.
I used the same pantograph and the same thread. I did change the backing though. I used a solid black
and I do love how the "web" shows up on this.
so I did, sort of. I just covered it over with a piece a tiny bit larger.
I went online and found Gossamer by Urban Elementz and figured it was perfect for this one. I was going to use purple thread
and the back......
Because I lost the first one, I opted to make another for us.
I had problems with this one because I decided to use a green background instead of the orange. I was trying to use from my stash!

From the tip of each hat was supposed to be a spider. A friend in Ohio suggested dangling earrings but Walmart in Canada didn't have their Hallowe'en stock out yet. I tried the Dollar Tree, I tried Michaels.
When all else fails, you improvise. Our witches have little purple bottles that are hanging with some embroidery thread. It works!
I just had an "afterthought". If I took a large piece of black fabric and stitched out Gossamer on it and hung spiders all over it, would that just be "spooktacular"?
