Lovely Frankenstein's 31 Days of Halloween: Spooky Quilt

This is a cute, fairly simple quilt from Riley Blake.  The only time consuming parts would be the applique, which would be easily omitted.  You don't have to use their line, of course, but this would make a really adorable throw for the living room or for a kid's room.

Lovely Frankenstein's 31 Days of Halloween: Handkerchief Ghosts

Here's an oldie but a goodie...making handkerchief ghosts from empty recycled toilet paper rolls.  They're way cute, and you could very easily light them up with a glow stick. Plus, it's another project that's great for kids.

Lovely Frankenstein's 31 Days of Halloween: Frankenzombie Treat Bag

It's so sad to me that the face of trick or treating has changed.  I remember going out as a kid with Dad around the neighborhood, and when I was a little older, with friends.  Nowadays everyone is so scared over letting their kids out (unsupervised?!) that trick or treating is relegated largely to parking lots and shopping malls.

Even still, those trick or treaters need a little something flashier than those plastic pumpkins. This Frankenzombie fits the bill!

Lovely Frankenstein's 31 Days of Halloween: Monster Madness

If done in the right fabrics, this would be a really cool, kid friendly Halloween quilt.  You could make some of the eyes angry, or scared or just plain bug eyed, and how neat would it be to use some of that glow in the dark fabric or thread for the eyes?
