Are you staring at a blank spot on your wall and aren’t sure what to put there? Even though we are about halfway through the autumn season, this is so quick and easy, you can whip it up in an hour or less! I love this simple silhouette idea so much that I decided to do a fabric project AND a paper project ! See this blog post for my FREE Quilted Owl Wall Hanging Pattern. They make really cute coordinating projects!
You know what I love about tote bags- they are SO practical! I’m a bit addicted to them, I love making them out of my favorite fabrics, and of course I can’t resist buying a new one when I’m out shopping. And still, though I have ton of them, it always seems that I need just one more!

OK- time for the fun!
Here is my Block #3, done with the Cottage colorway and machine applique. I love this classic Red, Pink, Black and Light Blue palette:
This guy is just goofy, isn’t he? I think you’ll have a lot of fun working on this Silly Jack Pumpkin Free Embroidery Pattern! What a cute pillow or trick-or-treat bag he would make… Print out the pattern for a fun coloring sheet for the kids. It would also be really great done with wool applique, then use embroidery to add the details.
Getting creative with a pattern is something I LOVE to do- I love seeing how many different ways I can use it. That’s why I started The Art of Home Club– every month, I not only give you lots of new super cute patterns, but I give you TONS of ideas for how to use them!
Scroll down to the bottom of this post to see some photos of our adorable Club projects! These are CLUB EXCLUSIVES that you won’t find anywhere else. You cannot buy them in our shop or any other. They are for Club members only…
We only up enrollment to new members a few times per year- You can sign up in the box below to get on our waiting list and we’ll let you know more when we open our doors to new members!
We will be open to new Club members on October 10, 2019, but just for a few days- then we’ll close our doors again.
Did you know that I have lots of embroidery videos to help you get started with hand embroidery? It’s a great hobby that anyone can do! If you are a complete beginner, I’ll show you everything you need to know, from supplies to basic stitches, to help you get started. And even if you have experience with embroidery, you may pick up a few new tips! Videos are right below!
The Halloween and Harvest season seems to be the best time for grownups and kids alike to “play”- after all, what’s more playful than dressing up, collecting and eating candy, and dancing along to the “Monster Mash”!? We’ve collected some ideas and recipes for treats for your next party or get together- some sweet, some savory, and some scary, and some just cute & fun! The kids and grandkids will have a lot of fun helping you with these! I will be making the Rice Krispie Treats Pumpkins, because we have a lot of marshmallows left over from summer s’mores!
Please note that at the time of this writing, all links below are correct. If you have a question about a particular recipe, please contact the owner of that particular blog/website. Thanks!
I love this little fall project- you can easily make it in an afternoon! Doing machine applique around the owl silhouettes is very simple because it’s all one piece- but since this is a wall hanging that probably won’t be washed, you could use a heavier weight fusible web (such as HeatNBond Ultrahold by Thermoweb) and skip the machine applique all together. Also, if you don’t have burlap or linen fabric, you could substitute any fabric for the bottom of the wall hanging.
About a month ago, my husband and I decided that we needed to get away- It was a very stressful, busy month, and we just needed to decompress for a couple of days! We headed for one of our favorite destinations, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We enjoy driving through the peaceful country side, stopping at little shops, and staying in quaint country inns. We try to stay at a different place each time we go.
The innkeepers are Jan and Bruce. Bruce is a really clever, witty artist- his artwork is displayed in the main parlor, and it really made me chuckle! He is also the author of several books. You can see more of his work here.(more…)
