Meet Mrs. Spidey!

My dear bee friend, Suzanne, gave me a cool Halloween mat kit last year, but I never got it made!

It came with all the strips needed to make the mat!

I love the fabrics included in the kit!

I used my own scraps for the eyes and added some fangs!

I used 2 layers of jumbo rickrack for the legs.

I bound it with solid black fabric.

I had some corners of the strip pieced fabric leftover after cutting out the spider body…

And you know I just can’t throw it out…

So, I cut out a little tiny spider body, sewed it together, filled it with sand… added some little leftover pieces of rickrack…and buttons…
