Halloween Placemats

Okay, one thing that I find very easy to do is go overboard on a new project. It's like the over achiever in me waiting to get out.

I mentioned several weeks ago that I had seen a really cute Halloween wall hanging in the quilt shop a couple of weeks ago. I let it sit in the back of my mind for a while and then had this brainstorm. I decided to make placemats for the nieces and nephews for Christmas this year. I found all of the fabric on holiday clearance. I'm going to do a set of six. One each year. This year is Halloween. I'm excited about it. Although the kids might think it a bit strange when they open it on Christmas morning.

I got all of the nieces and nephews done and mailed today. I cut the back bigger and folded over to make the bias. I now know I hate that method. From now on I will put on a separate one. Much easier!

I still have the four for our family, the two for Ann and the two for my in-laws. They will have to wait until after Christmas. Too much to do.
