Woodland Fall & Halloween Fabric — the Snails & Mushrooms: Autumn & Halloween Collection
I'll just say it: I love snails. I’m not always excited to find one munching through the leaves of a beloved plant in my garden. But the little curled-shell, slow-and-steady, minding-their-own-business kind of snail? Charming and adorable. And mushrooms? Mushrooms are definitely one of my favorite fall decorations. Why? Because they work just about anywhere, even a small little shelf. And they're simple, they're sweet, and they can stay up the entire season. No swapping them out, no "is it too early," no "is it too late." They're good from the first cool morning straight through to the last leaf down. (I sometimes leave them up through Christmas and winter too.)
That's the feeling I wanted to bottle up in this collection. Fall that doesn't make you choose.
I had some fun with this collection. I took some of the autumn prints — the pumpkin scenes, the directional mushrooms, the snails & mushrooms tucked in with the leaves — and gave each one a quiet dressed-up Halloween version. Nothing spooky, nothing costume-y. You could even call it Halloween-adjacent. Just the things you'd already find out in the woods this time of year: a few bats overhead, webs strung between the stems, a couple of spiders hanging out nearby. So you can sew something for fall, something for Halloween, or mix the two together — the way nature already does.
Snails & Mushrooms: Autumn & Halloween is a cozy woodland collection built to work across the entire season, all in one rich autumn palette. Most of the prints come in four shared dark backgrounds — dark forest green, coffee brown, dark wine/plum purple, and warm black. Great for an entire fall quilt, a Halloween make, or just to expand your stash.
Fall Pumpkin Scenes Fabric: The idea for the collection started here, with little woodland pumpkin-patch scenes — orange pumpkins, spotted toadstools, blush pink snails, a spray of autumn branches, fall leaves tossed here and there — all hand-drawn. In four colorways.
Halloween Pumpkin Scenes Fabric: The alter ego of the cozy fall pumpkin scenes — now with bats hovering overhead, webs between pumpkins & mushrooms, and little spiders waiting nearby. It's the most Halloween of the bunch, while still being the kind of spooky you'd actually find on a fall walk. Same four colorways.
Directional Fall Mushrooms Fabric: Simple little toadstools — rusty red, burnt orange, & pumpkin orange caps dotted with cream — scattered across dark backgrounds. Not just for fall, it works for woodland sewing projects as well. Four colorways.
Fall Mushrooms with Webs Halloween Fabric: Halloween, delicate spiders and webs decorate the same little toadstools. A subtle nod to Halloween. Same four colorways.
Tossed Snails, Mushrooms, & Fall Leaves Fabric: A little ditsy, scattered toss of snails, mushrooms, & fall leaves in a range of orange shades, on the same four dark grounds. Four colorways.
Tossed Snails, Mushrooms, Fall leaves, & Bats Fabric: The Halloween twin, slipping a few little bats in among the leaves. The gentlest Halloween nudge in the collection, and a lovely way to sneak a touch of the season into a quilt without going full spooky. Same four colorways.
Snails & Trails Fall Fabric: For the snail lovers. Blush pink snails wandering across curling cream trails, with little orange leaves scattered between. This is the one snail print with no Halloween version; it's pure cozy fall, start to finish. Four colorways.
Hand-Drawn Halloween Spiderwebs Fabric: This one’s a definite pull toward Halloween. Seven colorways across the collection's autumn range — rust orange, burnt orange, pumpkin orange, dark forest green, dark wine/plum, coffee brown, and warm black.
Both blenders in this collection pull double duty for fall and Halloween. They’re also great stash builders.
Fall Trellis Plaid Fabric: A simple little trellis print that works as a plaid too — hints at both the garden and fall. Same seven colorways as the spider web print.
Fall X-Cross Fabric: A tiny x-stitch mark in a half-drop. Seven colorways across the collection's autumn range.
Choose just fall, just Halloween, or a fun mix of both.
