If people would like to keep stitching into 2019 that would be wonderful. I will do my best to join in when I can.
I had a look at the Hallowe'en SAL in Stitch Maynia and thought it would be a nice idea to follow their themes so that those of us who belong to the FB group can join in both SALs in the same month. I expanded a couple of categories just for our blog. So here they are:
January - H is for Haunted House
February - A is for Addams Family (or any spooky characters)
March - L is for Lantern, Jack O’
April - L is for Loot
May - O is for October
June - W is for Witch
July - E is for Eek (or anything scary)
August - E is for Eyeballs (or any body part including skeletons)
September - N is for Night
October - B is for Bat
November - O is for Orange and Black
December - O is for Owls
I did fully-finish my Hallowe'en piece for 2018 and here it is:
Jardin Prive - Happy Hallowe'en Night
Stitched on 32 count Cognac linen
I had a couple more spooky finishes in 2018:
Dam Good Crafts - Dracula
JBW - Smiling Jack O'Lanterns
Plum Street Samplers - Brew Ha Ha
Just Nan - Haunted Autumn Mouse in a House
And I completed the lettering on my Spooky conversion of The Enchanted Alphabet by Lavender and Lace:

Love your finishes. Thanks for continuing the blog. I didn't participate as often as planned, but I do love the blog. This is good motivation to continue with the #### in my stash and to FFO more of my finishes.
Thank you, Jo!
I will get part in 2019!
Happy new year!
Hi Jo! No need to apologise.... life gets in the way for me all the time (if you haven't already noticed!!)
I am really pleased that we are going to keep going with this blog and even happier that we can follow the SM list of themes as I have already planned most of what I want to stitch for that SAL and I can now make it work for both SALs... bonus all round!!!
Hugs xx
Your finishes this year have been stunning! I still want to participate this year, but a lot of the themes don't fit charts that I have in my stash, so I may do a version of 'wild cards' for those months if that's OK? I still have a heap of ornies from last year I didn't get to stitch, plus I really want to stitch some of my Just Nan Halloween samplers, and I was hoping the themes would work for those - I'll have to revisit and see, but if not I'll still keep stitching either way :)
Your Halloween pieces are so pretty!
The themes are great, I will try to stitch something this year for the SAL!
So much beautiful stitching!! I am very very intrigued with the spooky conversion for The Enchanted Alphabet! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
These pieces are fantastic!!!!
Gorgeous, gorgeous finishes, Jo - I always love your Halloween Stitching. Thanks for the new themes. I may have already missed January but I will try to catch up (as always - lol!)
Wow Joe! Great stitching. I love all your pieces. Thanks for keeping the blog going. I really enjoy seeing everyones stitching. Have a great year!
