Halloween Stitches

I have only 2 Halloween finishes to hang in my home for the holidays.  Pretty weird since Halloween is my favorite holiday. The first one is Bugs and Kisses from Lizzy Kate:

I couldn’t resist stitching this one up back in 1998. She is stitched on a Purple 10ct fabric using Sampler Threads from The Gengle Art.  Sorry about the photo.  I took it last week on a cloudy, dreary day.

The second piece is from Stoney Creek.

I remember stitching this from a magazine quite some time ago, but I believe that it  is available as a chart from Stoney Creek as I have seen it or something similar advertised in magazines.  This was a fun stitch as I used the Glow in the Dark threads for the pumpkins, grass and the Trick or Treat.  I stitched it on white 14ct Aida and framed it in a wooden hoop.  I made a ruffle from the pumpkin fabric and glued it to the back of the hoop and glued some black lace trim on the top of the hoop.  A shimmery crinkle bow was the final touch.

Besides my October pillow, that is all the Halloween stitching I have.  I’ll have to work on that for next year.  Especially since there are so many cute Halloween patterns out this year.  Thanks for stopping by.
