Mirabilia Halloween Fairy

This is my Mirabilia Halloween Fairy. I changed the tips of the wings to Rainbow Gallery threads so that they sparkled and I omitted the leaves at the bottom because it is for a project for a quilt. I love being a part of this blog! Thanks to all for sharing their spookys!

G'day!

G'day! I'm Sue from Western Australia and new to the blog. This is Smell My Feet by La-D-Da...I finished it last year for Halloween. I started Nora Corbett's Halloween Fairy last night and completed about 50 stitches and am hoping to have it finished by Halloween this year.....if I don't get distracted by too many Halloween ornaments! lol Halloween isn't huge here in Oz, but I've always liked the macarbe....and there is nothing like a special night once a year to celebrate all things spooky!

a finish

I finished Brittercup's Trick or Kitty Treat. Don't know why the pic is dark though.

SB Happy Haunting

I'm new here, and am so glad that I found this group! I love decorating for Halloween, and have lots of spooky charts that I want to stitch. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone is stitching, and hoping that this keeps me motivated to make progress on my projects.

Right now, I am working Happy Haunting by Shepherd's Bush. My goal is to have this finished and framed in time for Halloween this year. I absolutely love the Jill Rensel mats that go with this one :)

Great halloween fabric

I can't wait to get started on my next Halloween piece. I was a Joann's this morning and I saw the most fabulous Aida...I usually like to stitch on Evenweave but I could NOT resist this fabric. It's 14ct and the color is Grasshopper. It's a bright, bright neon green that will be perfect for some Halloween ornaments. I'm thinking too, how cool it would be to use some Glow-in-the-Dark threads...this is going to be FUN!

A Halloween's Sudden Boo

I stitched some more on Brittercup's Trick or Kitty Treat. I was hoping to finish it but ended up playing on my computer to much today. I will get it done next week.

I started on Casey Buonaugurio's Jack-o-Lantern Scissor Fob last night. I'm about 3/4 done, so I'm planning to finish it this weekend and post a pic.

Digging out

I have yet to dig mine out.
Glad to be part of the group and will be digging out my project so I can post what is already done on it.
Halloween is my husbands favorite decorating holiday and I'd love to throw some stitching in there.
Everyone's look so good so far.
Happy Stitching

a finish and a start

I finished Batty Jack this morning.
Then I started Brittercup's Trick or Kitty Treat. Both designs are from the JCS October 2008 issue.

Hello, Hello

I am very glad to be here. It seems that Halloween is becoming very popular with a growing number of stitchers. I don't think I have ever seen so many charts related to Halloween than I have seen in the last few years. Yup, I want to not only stash them all but stitch them up to. lol.
That is why I am here, to enable, to be enabled and hopefully get some stitched!

In my stash pile, I have a few Just Nan's, a couple of Sue Hillis' and of course the 1st Just Cross Stitch Halloween Ornament issue..... a girl can dream........

Happy stitching!

Halloween start

I started Batty Jack. This is from the JCS Halloween Premier Issue and designed by JN. I will stitch one more color tomorrow before moving onto my rotation.
