Noni's February Ornie

Better late than never, but here I am finally showing you my finished February stitching.

My February design was "Count Me In" by Nancy Greenburg of Pickle Barrel Designs.  This design was published in the Just Cross Stitch Halloween Collection 2013 issue.  Such a fantastic source for Halloween designs.

I haven't started March's ornie yet... I am so disorganised lately!  Oh well, we are only half way through the month still so plenty of time to start stitching my witch!!

Til next month's post, happy stitching

Jo's February Ornament

Which only took a few days longer than I planned!

I saw this design in the Just Cross Stitch Hallowe'en Special 2013 and I knew I wanted to stitch her as soon as I saw her.  So when I was planning the themes for this blog I thought "if I choose Vampires I can stitch that 1920s Vampire Lady".  Perfect.

Then, along comes February, I dig out the magazine and realise that Brooke Nolan had designed her as a Bat Witch!  I decided to leave off the witchy accessories (broom, hat and bat) and add some little fangs so she looks like the Vampire I envisioned.  Here she is:

I stitched her on 32 count lilac evenweave using the recommended DMC and Mill Hill beads.  I subbed the Kreinik for DMC Metallic because they are a fraction of the price and go much further being a stranded thread.

I am now looking for a nice stone doorway for her to pose in so I can make a scrapbook page for her.

I promise my Witch will be ready actually in her month!

Lili's February Ornament

Hello!

Sorry for take so long, but this ornament took me some time to stitch.

Model: The Floss Box: Count Dracula.

Stitched on 35 count Cocoa Weeks Dye Works Linen.

DMC threads.

Thanks for looking!

Happy stitching,

Lili

My Vampire . . . Bat

I couldn't find a vampire in human form that I liked so picked one in it's bat form instead and added a border for fun.

I love this green fabric -- it's perfect for Halloween.

February Piece

I had a really hard time finding a vampire in my stash to stitch for this month.  So I settled on this little monster from Prairie Schooler.  My son says is a vampire, my DH says the devil.  I went with my son and say it is a vampire.  It can be found in her Heads Up! Leaflet.

The Count

Hi Everyone, Thanks Jo for the invite. I saw Cathi's January post and thought this would be a good forum to help me work on one of my UFOs., Behind the Gate. With some good stitching mojo and inspiration from the group hopefully I will have at least 9 stitched by 31 Oct..

This month I worked on The Count.:

Behind the Gate, Blue Ribbon Designs

40ct Sugared Ginger

(This is not a good representation of the fabric it is a much sweeter orange.)

TheresaM I hope you don't mind if I CASE your finish, the blood drop is a very clever idea.

In Stitches,

Debbie's February ornament finish!

I found this cute little guy in the October 2008 issue of Stoney Creek Collection magazine.

I hope my February vampire interpretation isn't too crude, but every Halloween tree has to have a little humor, right?! This is a freebie by Kelli Smurthwaite stitched on 16ct black aida with DMC 321.  Finished in the shape of a blood drop and embellished with three more.

Cathi - finish of my February ornament

This time, I am quite quick with my February ornie, so here it is:

It is a calendar day of a chart by Blue Ribbon Designs: the vampire from "Behind The Gate" (calendar piece 28). For the back side, I just stitched "Boo" on it... :o)

Happy Stitching

My Feb Sal

This is a pattern I got off the net I don't remember where. It's done on 18 ct Adia Cloth with Dmc floss, black and red.

Gypsy's February Finish

February's Theme was vampires.

I couldn't find a vampire freebie I liked so I chose a quote from NBC's Dracula.

I stitched this on 18 ct aida using a blue variegated thread.

I bordered it in black.

The Quote

"When it comes to dreams, one may falter, but, the only way to fail is to abandon them.

-Alexander Grayson (Dracula)

Debbie's February ornament choice

My ornament choice for the February Vampire ornament is a free Vampire design by Ann Logan on cross-stitch-pattern.net. I hope I post it on time this month!

My February Pick

After hours and hours on Pinterest, I couldn't find a Vampire pattern that I wanted to stitch.

Instead,

I chose a quote from NBC's Dracula to stitch as my February!

Can't wait to show you!
