April

I've just found out about this wonderful stitch along and I'm so excited.  I stitch Halloween stuff all year anyway because it is my favorite holiday.  

January catch up - A Celtic moon doodle

February catch up doodle.  I'm still working on March!

I'm useless again!!

Every year I sign up for this SAL, and every year I get sidetracked with other projects and crazy working hours at the start of the year, and I start months late.  Well, this year is no exception!

My choice this year is to once again work on larger pieces where possible, instead of individual ornaments.  So far my focus piece for most of the year will be Prairie Schooler's "When Witches Go Riding" sampler.

So far I've managed to include 3 of the first 4 months as follows (I decided to grid the fabric as I'll be jumping around a lot throughout the year):

• January - The Moon
• February - Witches
• April - Winged Creatures

I still have March to catch up on yet - I can't decide whether to start a second larger design, or whether to do an individual ornament. I have both designs already picked out, I just need to pull my finger out and make a decision!

OOOPS! I just sort of kept stitching and stitching and stitching....

A magical tale

It all started with Witchy Poo here, due to the evil curse she put upon me (lol!) I did not get her finished in time for February.  And then, of course, that meant that I was running late for March as well.  But, lucky for me, a True Love's kiss (from TraderVic, of course) broke the curse and then I stitched like one possessed (so maybe the curse was not broken after all? Oh no!) and somehow I found myself at the end of May, with my Black cat all stitched!  So, a happy ending as now I am months ahead!

February: Witchy Poo

March: Creepy Crawly Spiders

April: Winged Creatures

May: The Witchy Poo's Familiar, the Black Cat (Nobu, maybe? But does that then make me Witchy Poo??????)

And here is the whole piece so far.

So, feeling pretty happy with myself at the moment.

hugs, Kaye

Rita's Feb 2017 Witch

I was actually finished stitching my witch in Feb. but was out of town for a couple of weeks (visiting my cute, little grandbaby, daugher, and son-in-law) and couldn't figure out how to post the picture from my ipad.

This is from PS When Witches Go Riding (#148).

February and March - Lili

Hello!

Do you remember this post?
Well I decided work on this piece for the SAL.
Most of you have a large piece, so I decided to pick a large design too.
Unfortunately the pattern don't fit with three themes, so I will pick others on those months.

For February my green witch!

And the design have also a moon! ;)

And for March theme:

That spider ... on the key ... with red eyes ...
...grrrr...
I don't like spiders... sorry ;)

Design:  Barbara Ana Designs - Halloween, The Moon Laughs
Fabric/Threads: 36 count Peach'n Cream (hand dye by me)/DMC

See you next month!
Happy stitching,
Lili

April's February Stitch

For this month I choose a free chart from the Little Stitcher called Vintage Witch.  I used a scrap of fabric from my stash and Espresso Bean from GAST.

February - Witches.

I didn't remember where in internet I picked up this pattern. But I have saved it in my laptop and I stitched this month.

Halloween Happiness... The Witch

Each month during 2017 I am stitching on the design Halloween Happiness by Sandra Cozzolino / Imaginating.  I will pick a portion of the chart that fits with the themes and hopefully get it all finished by the end of 2017!

February's theme was "Witches" .... and here she is.... say hello to the tipsy witch and her familiars!

I agree with Jo she definitely looks like she has been up to something with her spells and potions! Legs all akimbo over the letter W!  Goodness me! :o)

Next month it will be the "ee's" which are all wrapped up in spider webs and spiders!  Eek... that's going to be fun!

Til then.. happy Halloween Stitching :o)

Jo's February Finish - Witches

I am continuing with Happy Hallowe'en by Imaginating and have added a rather tipsy witch!  Is it just me or does she look a little three sheets to the wind?

I still can't get an accurate photo of the fabric, it's a 32 count Lime Green Murano not khaki or dull green.

I made one unintentional change, there are two shades of purple in the W and I swapped them over.  I had nearly finished stitching the letter when I realised my error.  But it looks fine and no-one except us will ever know!

Also, why is there a tortoise on the end of the W?  How spooky are tortoise?  Not very.  Maybe she uses him in a sloth spell?

Which Witch finish

Hi everyone,  This is my first post to the Halloween Stitching.  I finished a set of 4 small Halloween pieces from the JCS Magazine.   It was titled Which Witch.  I will come back later to show you the FFO piece (Fully Finished Piece) when I take it out of the bin of shame.
