First I would like to share with you a table runner that I designed. I am happy with the way it turned out, I think it is boo-rrific.

The center block was a design from a child's coloring book that I purchased at the $1 store. I used painters tape to stick it to the top of the fabric and then used black thread and sewed right on top of the lines. After it was all stitched I tore the paper away like you would with FPP. I then stitched back over the lines with another layer of black thread. Next I did free motion embroidery to color in the pumpkin and parts of the mouse. Finally in that block I used colored pencils to add more color. I wasn't sure what to do next so I added an orange border and used an Anita Good Design pattern for the pumpkins around the center block.

Then I had an idea to applique a bat, moon, and star that is in the fabric pattern.
Lastly, I hand embroidered Boo! and a couple of small stars : )
