Happy Halloween!

Welcome to my Halloween party! Please help yourself to some candy, take plenty as I have more!😆

This Halloween is a bit different than past years here in Blogland. Jo of Serendipitous Stitcher has a link up to check out any other party goers:

The FFO bug bit quite hard and in 1 week I finally finished 8 pieces! Yes, 8 pieces. I would go and buy a lottery ticket or 2 because that may not happen again!

Anyway, here they are:

I'm pretty sure this is a Heart In Hand piece, one of the little patterns that come with the chart and beads. The frame I've had for a very long time. It's a second hand store find. 

Next is...

This is Crone on The Hill by Plum Street Samplers. I trimmed it with Chenille.

Onward...

On top is Salem 1763 by Willow Hills Samplery. It's on a pretty silvery grape color linen. I glued😉the black ric rac to the side. It sort of frames the piece. On the bottom is a design by Wild Violet. I just glued a bat charm to the front and wrapped black baker's twine around the bottom portion.

Four to go:

Here is Halloween on the Farm, from the 2023 JCS Halloween special issue. Love how it turned out! Used more black twine also for a hanging ornament.

Next is this Brenda Gervais piece...

Bittersweet and Broomsticks. A fun stitch, I used the black twine for trim just like the model on the chart.

Now we have Clementine!

A WIP for more than 4 years I'm sure! She is so cute! Lots of backstitch but worth it. My favorite motif is that skeleton🤣I tweaked him just a little. Racquel Blasco was the designer. She no longer designs.

And last but not least, and my favorite, is...

Wicked Night by The Primitive Hare. Stitched on 40ct linen because I wanted it smaller. I used a black pin and buttons for decoration. Love it!

That's it's for stitching.

Here's a little chuckle for you..

Hahaha! This one made me laugh! I don't get trick or treaters here. My street has mostly older folks but 2 families with children have moved to the neighborhood in the last year. 

Fall has finally arrived to the area. It was 30 degrees this morning so I jumped out and turned on the heater! The leaves are finally changing..

My hometown of Prescott, AZ.  Beautiful!

How about a picture of a spider!!!

Isn't he pretty?! I didn't get close for this shot because they can and will jump! This is a Blonde Tarantula. There are dark brown ones with lighter brown legs. They roam around during Indian summer looking for mates and they dig little holes into the ground for homes. They're harmless!

I hope you enjoyed your time at my party! Be sure to check out the link at Jo's blog to see who else is partying! Thanks Jo!👻🎃
