Charming Halloween Potholders for Your Kitchen

Two potholders, one with a bat, the other with a spider.

My HOCUS POCUS potholders were designed to be used as an oven mitt, as well as a potholder, or a hot pad. I keep mine hanging on my microwave for easy access, but they are almost too cute to use!

Here is my Christmas version of the double potholders…SANTA CLAUSE POTHOLDERS. I am in love with these Jolly Old St. Nicks!

Here are some of my other popular Halloween patterns…

SPOOKY SPIDER looks adorable in this pillow created by a customer.

FRAIDY CAT is one of my many black cat patterns. I love it’s simple shape. Here’s a simple potholder using Fraidy Cat…

WITCHY SHOE is a favorite, which you can also get with this pillow pattern.

This adorable Halloween table topper was created by my friend Shelley… all of these block patterns are in my ETSY SHOP, and some of them are FREE!

Some Fun Halloween Paper Pieced Patterns

As Halloween is approaching, you might be looking for some cute and spooky patterns. Here are some of my faves….

BOO COLLECTION, a pattern with 6 blocks including these…

This collection of 6 Halloween paper pieced block patterns is so clever! Included with the blocks are patterns for a table runner and potholders. These 8″x 8″ blocks can be used in so many fun ways. Be creative and construct an entire Halloween quilt! Here is a quilt put together by Donna for her daughter, using some of these blocks….

The WITCH HAT pattern is very easy and would be great for a beginner.

Create some cute and spooky projects with this SPIDER block pattern.

WITCHY PILLOW is super fun to paper piece. Find just the right stripe for her stockings!

One of my best selling Halloween designs is IF THE SHOE FITS POTHOLDERS pattern. How great would these potholders look hanging in your kitchen this fall? The shoes have a large rhinestone sewn to the shoe flap, which is optional.

The WITCHY POO PILLOW pattern is detailed with the witch, broomstick, and lamp post making this a pattern more suited to an intermediate or advanced paper piecer.

This adorable addition to your holiday decor uses large rick rack as a border. I LOVE rick rack! Visit MADE BY MARNEY ON ETSY to see all of my Halloween patterns.

More Halloween Fun…Gotta Love It!

Your response to my latest Halloween paper pieced blocks was so overwhelming that guess what? I designed more! Let’s get as much Halloween as possible!

The WITCH GNOME WITH SPIDER is cute, cute, cute! Maybe use this witch gnome with my other WITCH BLOCKS to make a table runner or quilt?

This little gnome is holding the biggest candy corn ever! CANDY CORN GNOME is stinkin’ cute!

FROG MAGIC is a witchy little frog. I’m planning a super cool pillow with this little guy! Aren’t frogs just the best?

Look at this adorable Spider Pillow created by Connie, using my SPOOKY SPIDER BLOCK .

You can purchase just my SPIDER BLOCK HERE, or If you want to make a Spider Pillow just like Connie’s, you can order Connie’s kit by going to OCTOBER 31 PILLOW KIT. The kit will include the Spider pattern.

That’s all for now…but we still have lots of time before Halloween 2021, so stay tuned for even more Halloween fun!
