Peek A Who? Blog Hop

Welcome to Day 3 of the Peek A Who? Blog Hop!

I want to thank Marian at Seams To Be Sew for hosting annual Halloween blog hops.

It is always so much fun to see the craftiness shared by other bloggers.

I love Halloween fabrics, especially the ones that glow in the dark!

This year, I used a few scraps of Halloween and fall fabrics to create fabric postcards.

I also love embroidery and crazy quilting. Each postcard was hand embellished. A few of the threads even glow in the dark. You may click on any photo for a larger image.

The eye and spiderweb fabrics glow in the dark. The pumpkin was part of an earring. And the orange spider was created with glow in the dark Kreinik thread.

Here it is in the dark.

"Boo" was added this Timeless Treasures Glow Ghosts fabric.

It still shows up when the lights are out.

Creating embroidered spiders is always fun!

Especially on Timeless Treasures Glow Webs fabric.

These are even creepy when the lights are out.

This Peanuts fabric in my stash was screaming to be included. I embroidered a bit of a Charlie Brown tree in the upper-left corner and added a few leaves with beads.

Fabric postcards are fun, quick and a bit addictive to create!

If you want to make your own, I found this tutorial at Patchwork Posse very helpful (there are a lot of ads though), and I generally follow the finishing instructions on this fun fall postcard tutorial at Quilted Delights.

I recently shared a 6-part tutorial to create treasure chest postcards. You may find that and a link to a PDF file for the postcard back on my Tutorials and Free Patterns page found HERE.

If you make a fabric postcard, I would love to see it!

Do you have a favorite Halloween memory?

My favorite Halloween memories include trips to the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins with my boys and their grandparents, and the Halloween parties we hosted when the boys were small. Making Mummy Dogs, Spider Cake (filled with green Jell-o), and Graveyard Pudding was always a treat!
