Do you make things for Halloween? I've got a few tutorials here on the blog -- Halloween Parlor Quilt , Haunted House Potholder, Potion Bottle Mug Rug, Pumpkin Carving Wall Quilt
This is actually an updated post from a couple of years ago because the list of projects I want to make hasn't dwindled much since I first wrote it. So I'm jarring my own memory and sharing the list with anyone who didn't see it back in 2015. I've also added some things.
Because this is a quilt blog, I'll start out with the ghost mug rug. This spiderweb quilt is actually shaped like a spiderweb. The Three Witches is a wall quilt that combines piecing and embroidery. These lace doily spiderwebs in embroidery hoops are delicate and airy.
My machine still won't let me do any free motion quilting, so the Graveyard Quilting (no tutorial for that one, but it's amazing and worth a peek) and the Spooky Spider quilting tutorial are off the list for this year.
I'm really liking this full size mummy, and there's probably room in the attic to store one for the eleven months a year that aren't October, but the idea of being that wrapped up in duct tape scares me These little mummies were more my speed and I wound up making one.
I think we've got everything we'd need to make these DIY bloody hand print clings, except for maybe the nerve. Little child size hands would be super creepy -- and the food coloring will wash off after a while. It's what they get their hands on in the process that worries me.
These altered books with their dimensional covers would be a big hit -- especially if we made them on blank books for the boys to use for writing in. These printable paper covers are clever and would be less bulky to store.
I've been wanting to make some potion and poison bottles. I should still have the send for the Dust of the Dead tutorial. These are filled with all kinds of neat stuff. My oldest son needs a thing in a jar. Or maybe a a man eating plant.
We'll see what actually happens between now and Halloween night.
