Spiders

I hate Spiders. Let's just leave it at that. So naturally my mother started mailing me an annual spider on Halloween. Some were cute and filled with candy. Some were not. I hate spiders.
 Slowly this Halloween prank morphed into a 'spiders can appear at any time' game. And I started fighting back.

We went on vacation together. I left sequined spiders in her make up bag.

She put a giant fuzzy spider with glowing eyes inside my dark closet.

I mailed her a spider book for Christmas.  You get the point.

As I type this, Mom is on a plane on her way out to visit me. On Tuesday we are headed off to the AQS show in Paducah, KY. So of course I had to make a spider for her pillow. I thought a zipper spider was appropriate since we are going to a Quilt show and all.
