Witch Hat and Lizzie Kate

Hi, 

Here are a couple more pieces I have finished stitcihng.  they were both alot of fun to stitch.  The first is Quaker Witch Hat from CindyMae Stitching.  It is a set of 3 patterns.  I have started on the pumpkin and then need to do the bat.

The second piece is from Lizzie Kate and called Quik Stitch Halloween Sampling.  I used CC, WDW and GAST to stitch it. 

Keep up with all the great halloween stitching.  I enjoy seeing everyone's stitching.

Happy Halloween Stitching

Hello everyone. I am so excited to be a part of this community. I love Halloween stitching and do it year round. I collect pumpkins and hope to share and learn much here. I am grateful I am a Spooky SAL.

Today I have posted a piece I stitched back in the 1990's, but just found it sandwiched between some zweigart linen cuts. I do remember it was originally stitched on orange, but I love Chartreuse and changed it....

Finally a couple finishes for me

YOu think, if i started this SAL blog i would have some posts on here. LOL Well i finally do! I have finished stitching Salem Witch by Primitive Needle. stitched her over 2 on a scrap piece of overdyed linen using DMC and finished into a pinkeep. I also just stitched Halloween by La D Da from this years JCS halloween issue. This was a really fun and very quick stitch. I stitched this one on 28ct vintage autumn gold over 1 using WDW Charcoal and Terra Cotta and finished into a little pillow using the whip stitch to finish it. I showed the pack of needles next to it to show it to scale.




Great finishes and WIP's everyone! I hope to be on here more often!!!!

Lizzie Kate Flip It /October


I started a huge project yesterday. I also started Lizzie Kate's October Flip It, because I'm gonna need a break from 32-count linen every once in awhile.

Lizzie Kate's Flip It's are a perfect size for Charles Craft Huck Kitchen Towels. Sometimes you need to fudge a little to make them fit nicely, but just a little.

Open House

Last weekend I made a new start.


This is the bed end form Open House by the Cross-Eyed Cricket.


Having declared on my blog that during October I was only going to stitch spooky stuff all I can say is roll on Thursday as I really want to get my teeth, or should it be needle? into this one.

Prairie Schooler Skeleton

This is from the Prairie Schooler Boo To You leaflet. I used Dmc glow-in-the-dark floss for the skeleton. It glows better than the picture shows. I love how it turned out. I know as soon as my boys see it they are both going to want one.
