Creative Ideas for Autumn Some of my fondest memories are the ones centering around autumn. The weather is changing, the leaves are turning, and the holiday season is approaching. October seems to be the month when our senses become heightened by the excitement of Halloween and the festivities that surround it. This month, Prym Consumer USA Inc. hopes to inspire your creativity with some of our popular projects, Ghosty Ghost and Bewitching Witch. These delightful table decorations are easy to make using our Cheese Cloth. We have also included the instructions for making cute little pumpkins that are perfect by themselves or as Jack-O-Lanterns. What ever you decide, you will enjoy these for many years. An innovative product we highlight this month, is Collins' Glow-in-the-Dark Pins. These fine, sharp straight pins with white plastic heads actually "glow" in a dark room. What a great way to find those pesky little pins that hide in the carpet or escape into a chair. They also make a charming gift for your sewing and quilting friends. If you have looked in the pattern books and fashion magazines, you've seen the many styles of skirts and kilts. Skirt Pins are a "must have" notion to compliment this preppy fall fashion. Wear them decoratively on your skirt, or pin them on a jacket or scarf for an atypical effect. Visit Product Showcase for more ideas using Skirt Pins to update your wardrobe. If a costume idea has you searching for inspiration, we would like to introduce you to our new line of So Girly!T products. These sassy girls and their pets are showing up all over the country with their emphasis on friendship and individuality. We have added new shoes and handbag shaped pincushions to our St. Jane line of products as well as appliqués and iron-ons that are perfect for embellishing T-shirts to book bags. These adorable girls are sure to spark a costume idea for even the most discriminating "trick or treat" enthusiast. In November, we visit the International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas. We are sure to have exciting news about new products and quilting ideas to get your holiday crafting off to a great start. Until then,
