I am slowly starting to add my Halloween decorations to my autumn ones. This year, I decided I wanted to create a bowl of Halloween thread keepers as decoration. But I also wanted to make a bowl filler pillow to go with them. When I saw this freebie on Nan's blog
ThreadworkPrimitives, I knew it would be just right. I sewed a piece of black and linen colored plaid to the bottom half and added a piece of lace made in black metallic thread. It looks like spiders webs doesn't it? The little stitched made above each zig zag is called a 'spider'. To each corner of the pillow, I added a black button to complete the pillow.
Combined with my black bead garland, I thought it looked really cute in my small dough bowl. The three thread keepers are by Isabella over at
ThePrimitiveHare. I just love them!
I decided when I had the bowl done to keep it in my quilt studio. I put out a Halloween quilt too. And those pumpkins? You can see how they are made on
my other blog on Monday.
Now I am off to hunt for my Halloween stitching UFO in my quilt studio to take to Cranberry Cottage.....

What a pretty little fall/Hallowe'en display, Heidi.
Lovely colours, this white and black. I love your autumn decoration. The quilt in your header is great too!
Lovely halloween display, and the pillow is gorgeous, the piece of lace sets the design off perfectly
The black metallic lace definitely looks like spider web and is the perfect addition. Great Halloween display!
Your garden looks fantastic too!
I really like how you finished this pattern. The lace and buttons just make it pop.
Wow! That lace is perfect!!
Cute quilt and pumpkin too!
What fun Halloween decorations, Heidi! I love your blog header, too.
The "All Hallows Eve" finish is adorable! Love the black check and the black lace spider web. As always, another beautiful piece.
Although we dont decorate for Halloween here I do enjoy looking at other peopls decorations. Your are lovely, simple and attractive.
That really looks sharp. Nice choices and finishing.

Your little pillow is just perfect and I love how you finished it off. The lace and buttons are just perfect. I really love the autumn quilt on your header as well. I think it is from Prairie Schooler but am not sure of the name....Autumn Leaves? Anyway it is all very Fall and I just love it...of course....Take care my friend. I think of you often and hope you are okay. Hugs from CA.
Love the new Header!!! How are you feeling?!!
The lace on your pillow is perfect. I'm in love with the Halloween quilt and the one in your blog header too! I agree with Jackie, your flowers are beautiful. :)
First, I love the header. I did this piece and framed it but I love the wallhanging, The fabric is beautiful. The pillow is wonderful. The lace does look like spider web.
Oh Heidi, you are so fabulous! Every time you post, I love your ideas. I'm printing this lovely freebie off now....
Your pillow turned out so pretty. The lace really does look like webs. Thank you for stitching my freebie and I'm so glad you had fun with it.
Smiles,

Love how you finished this one. I just pulled it out and hope to stitch soon. Seeing yours is definitely motivating!
happy stitching...
How pretty! It's spook-tacular! LOL!
What a gorgeous finish!
Your Halloween decor is very cute.
Zelfs van zwart/wit weet je iets moois te maken!
Al helemaal in Halloween sfeer ben jij, ziet er heel apart uit! Vind je borduurtje ook heel leuk en ja het is precies wat jij schreef, maar de rest heeft het nog niet geraden, maar ja ik ben dan ook weg van de Primitives! Groetjes

Love the black and white pillow and the lace on it. Very cute.
The quilt display looks very nice too. Are you taking the things home, or going to go back to spend Halloween at the cottage?
Love you, Mom
What a beautiful pillow, Heidi ! Yesterday as we were walking through Beacon Hill in Boston, I take a shot of a front door with just a spide web on it to decore the entrance. I'll put it on my blog for you !
Helemaal mijn kleuren, wat een goed idee, eigenlijk best wel modern voor jou.
Liefs Bep.
