A Little Hallowe'en Finish

 Gentle Friends, I put the last stitches in Jenny Bean last night and have a snap to show today...

"Jenny Bean's Halloween Sampler" - Shakespeare's Peddler, 2009 - 9/10 - 10/5/23

40ct "Eastwick" from Needle & Flax

I used the called for GAST Floss - except I exchanged...

Pecan Pie for Woodpile & Baked Clay for Fudge Ripple

This was a fun little piece to work on and since there is still plenty of October left I pulled another Hallowe'en piece from the stash heap.  It's a companion to another piece I stitched over a decade ago, but has been lingering about waiting for me to get a move on and stitch!  I'll post a snaperoo of that on Monday of whatever little bits of stitching I get done over the weekend.

That's about it for today sports fans.  Thanks again for stopping by do stop again. 

 Have a great weekend!!

Good Thoughts! Good Words! Good Deeds!

A Little Stitchin'

 Gentle friends, here's an updated shot of Jenny...

A Little Stitchin'

 Gentle friends, I'm stitching through the Hallowe'en Sampler, here's a snaperoo...

... when that border matched up perfectly it was a true moment of relief.  Looking ahead a bit, I've gone back into the stash heap and found another Hallowe'en project I've had for a few years as I am thinking this will wrap up a bit sooner than I had expected.  It's a companion piece to one I stitched many years ago... and another Fall piece will be fun!

A Little Stitchin'

 Gentle Friends, still plugging away at the border... here's a snaperoo...

.. I miscounted the right arm by a single thread and didn't realize it until I got to the pumpkin at the bottom.... so it was a frog-zilla almost 2/3rds of the way up... oh well, now everything is back on course.

A Little Hallowe'en Start

 Gentle Friends, I got the old needle going on my Hallowe'en Sampler over the weekend and as usual, began with the border, It's a bit quirky, but here's a snaperooo...

"Jenny Bean's Halloween Sampler" - Shakespeare's Peddler, 2009

40ct "Eastwick" Needle & Flax

I am stitching this using the called for GAST, except I had to switch out  "Woodpile" ( a color even the GAST folks had never heard before, I called there and asked) for "Pecan Pie."  Originally, when this chart was released 14 years ago there was a limited edition bespoke thread pack you could get, I failed to get said pack at the time but I'm good with the regular GAST floss and had them all in my stash, Woo-hoo!  Since the next two stitches are smaller pieces I went ahead and got a jump on the conversion from DMC to overdyed floss for the bigger sampler that lurks after the Hallowe'en and Christmas pieces are finished.
