Two Halloween Finishes....

I know Thanksgiving is tomorrow and Halloween is long gone but I recently finished up the stitching on these two small pieces and wanted to share them. Although I didn't get them finished until after Halloween, I will at least have some new pieces to display next year. I am still stitching every day, some days more then others but at least I feel like I am moving in the right direction.

First up is Sanman Originals Halloween Quaker. This chart was a gift chart to members of the Sanman Message Board during their Halloween Stitch A Long. It was a fun stitch and I really enjoyed working on it. This is one of the designs that started me back stitching again. I stitched it on 18ct antique white aida with DMC threads. If I ever stitch it again, I think I would change the letters spelling Halloween to purple, just to add another color and to make the letters pop a bit.


This next finish is one of my all time favorites, it is designed by Ladybug Designs and is from one of the JCS Halloween issues. I just love this piece! I am going to look for some more charts from this designer. This one still needs the buttons but I am not sure if I am going to add them or not, I kind of like it just the way it is. Happy Owl-O-Ween is stitched over 2 on 32 ct Lambswool with DMC threads.

I am currently working on a small Christmas Ornament from one of the JCS preview magazines. i only had to work Monday and Tuesday this week, so I hope to find some extra time to stitch and hopefully, I will have another finish to show soon :)

Intil Next Time,

Kim
