halloween decorating.
First stop, the kitchen! This is hanging out in the middle of our kitchen island today. But I moved the Boo pumpkin over from the table for this picture :)
Table runner #2 is in the foyer on the little table to the left of the door. Yes, I have two of these owls! They're too cute to just have one :)
The dining room table is decorated too, not so much for Halloween but for fall in general. I really need some different flowers for in here! They're looking a little too springy to me.
Welcome to Bijou Lovely. This blog is named after my great grandmother, Bijou Lillian, who encouraged me to embrace all the lovely things that the world has to offer.

SPIDERWEB QUILTING!!!! You are a genius, my friend! Everything looks amazingly beautiful, and I want to hire you to come help me decorate the new house!! LOVE everything!
ReplyDeletep.s. If you do come, you can bring those skittles! ;)
Cuteness and beauty everywhere! I especially love that spiderweb stitching on the table runner. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI just love everything! When can I go over?? :P
ReplyDeleteThat Skulls table runner is fabulous. It's classy while still being dark and a little scary. Reminds me almost of a gang symbol.
ReplyDeletei am so impressed. i just plopped a few glittered pumpkins and a skull on the mantel and called it good. and i so love your table runners! they are absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colours in your photos, and what superb photos. Im just contemplating a first quilt and I love your circle tutorial.
I found you by one of those 'random craft' tutorial widgets on 'Dunis studio' blog
Until later and
bestest wishes

ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love the quilting!
ReplyDeleteYour decorations are just gorgeous!! And that spiderweb quilting is the coolest thing every - so creative! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! :) And I love your table runners. I just saw some spiderweb quilting somewhere else too... I forget where. Was it difficult to do?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristen! Vanessa at V and Co just did a tutorial on spiderweb quilting, which you can find here:

I was totally inspired by her version when she posted on Instagram about it :)
Sweet! That's the other place I saw it! :) I bookmarked the page but haven't had a chance to go back and look at it yet.
DeleteThanks for the link - just what I was about to ask. But can I also ask you, what silver thread did you use? Is it a machine embroidery thread? And how was it to work with?
DeleteInsurgent and Catching Fire are such good books! Also sewing a spider web in the table runner was a great idea! I'll have to try it.
ReplyDeleteBeing Australian, we don't really dress up our interiors for the seasons but I love seeing what you folks do. This is a gorgeous effort. And the spiderweb quilting is inspired.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE what you did with Guising. I secretly hoarded some for myself and your table runners are so inspiring!! :)
ReplyDeletehow gorgeous! i love those upcycled sweater pumpkins.
