Smiling Cat Wool Applique Pillow Tutorial

September 16, 2019 by Grace Lombardo in pillow

Fall is almost here! Halloween is just around the corner. The days may not be cooling here in southern California, but It definitely feels like sweater weather when the sun goes down.

Both of the designs are in the vintage Halloween style that I love.
