The theme of this hop is obviously Halloween, but with the twist of using purple in our project. I wanted to do a small piece, and decided on a mug rug which seems to be my fallback idea for small projects!
As far what is on my mug rug, I chose my favorite scary character. Actually, it's the only scary character I ever want to watch in a TV show or a movie. I've never been a fan of horror films or stories; I don't particularly like being scared! But the one exception has always been shows and movies that feature vampires. Maybe that's because they're often portrayed romantically instead of straight-up scary.
So here is my project...a Vampire Mug Rug:
He's not exactly romantic, but he's more cute than scary I think. The mug rug is sewn up in wool felt and embroidery floss and measures 9" x 12".
If you want to make one for yourself, or for a vampire fan that you know, here's the FREE pattern:
