Trick or Treat

This is my latest halloween finish. Trick or Treat from Shepherd's Bush.  This project came as kit. It is stitched on 32ct lambswool linen.

A Typical Fairy

In typical fairy fashion the TOT Fairy has been messing with my stitches....three or four times I had to frog the right side of her skirt....It didn't matter how much time she spent in the cupboard, she just did not learn! I think the cooler weather eventually had her thinking that the cupboard was not the nicest place to be, especially when your only company is dust bunnies....I've made a decent amount of progress over the last couple of weekends and am loving stitching her...and like Shelleen, I can't wait for the weekend!

Everyone is doing a fabulous job on their stitching....Seeing it all has me flicking through my Halloween patterns....

Progress On Trick Or Treat Fairy

This is my progress on the Trick Or Treat Fairy. I'm loving stitching her and her dress is growing at a satisfying rate. When she is finished I think she will be taking up permanent residence in the house....not just at Halloween.

Progress on Trick Or Treat Fairy

I’ve finished all the fiddly stitching on the Trick Or Treat Fairy…..It is pretty much blocks of solid colour now….plus specialty threads and beads. I had a whole night of NO frogging last night….it was GOOD!

Trick Or Treat Fairy Progress

This is my progress on Nora Corbett's Trick Or Treat Fairy. It is third time lucky stitching this design. The first time I cut the fabric too small....second I decided I'd rather stitch it on aida than even weave.....and lucky third.....I threw the aida into a crockpot of strong coffee and let it bubble away for an hour or so outside (I used home brand coffee and it STANK!), swished it through some cold water to get the residue and most of the smell out....and you can see the result! I'm pleased with it. I won't be stitching on it for a couple of weeks because I have some catching up to do on other pieces. I look forward to when I can start it again.
