I Did It!!!

Yay!!! I finally finished my mystery project. Did anyone figure what I was making? The yum yum fabric I made into 2 placemats. If I want more, I will have to get more fabric. But for now this is a table for two, since there are just the two of us these days. And the witches hat fabric I made into a table runner. My husband thinks it turned out cute. I hope you think so too. Kind of strange with two different fabrics on the table, but then this is for Halloween. Who says things have to match for Halloween? Halloween is a time for weird and interesting things anyway, right?

I decided to post a couple of different views of the table. You can see some of the hats look like candy corn and the yum yum fabric has candy corn. That is why I used the two fabrics. Then the trim on the placemats has candy corn and I have that candy dish filled with candy corn.
I could add more to the table for a Halloween centerpiece. But I am plumb out of Halloween decor items. Maybe next year I will add to this tablescape, like dishes and an interesting centerpiece. But not this year. This is as far as I will go. We are taking a trip in a couple of weeks and we need to save for that trip. We are finding out Disneyland and Medieval Times are getting expensive. Plus the travel costs too. I hope you like my mystery project and found it fun to have me making you wonder what was going on. Happy Halloween!!

I love your table linens. What a lovely job. You can't get those cute fabrics over here...sigh. And I don't even have a sewing machine...YET. Of course I couldn't bring mine from home - wrong current and all that. But it's on the list, so hopefully I can join all you sewing folks out there soon! Happy Autumn! :-) Stacey

Hi Linnea!
I LOVE your project! It turned out so cute. I love candy corn and those placemats are too adorable, even the ribbon has them on it! You did a great job on them, and they look so festive for the holiday.
Hugs, Sherry
