Steph’s January Haunted House

It was great to pick up Spooky House after it was on hiatus for a few months.  I did a lot of backstitching on the bottom and started the top half, from the left side.  The backstitching was extensive but it also re-energized my mojo for  this piece.

I loved stitching the black bat flying across the moon.

January 2019 - Haunted House

This is an oldie from Dimensions "Halloween Quickies" by Brian Jackins.  I felt like doing something bright to cheer an otherwise dreary month.

Cheryl's August Spooky Old House

Here is my "Spooky Old House" for August!  

This is one of my little freebie Halloween designs, so you can grab a copy from my website here: http://hobbyloco.com/patterns/oldhouse.html

I like to stitch on plastic canvas, as projects can be easily finished by adding a felt backing and some ribbon, beads or buttons.  



 

 

Kaye's July and August ornies....

Here is my current Hallowe'en stitching.  I am just scraping in for my July Hallowe'en ornie for the Haunted House theme but I am a day early for my August Hallowe'en ornie for the theme Black Cats, although my cats are not quite black but there is a ghost cat! lol!

July: Haunted House from the Side Panel of  "Halloween Days sewing basket" by Simona Bussiglieri of Mani Di Donna on page 89 from JCS Halloween Ornament Magazine 2015.

August: Halloween Cats - freebie from Kreinik, which you can find here.

I am very pleased with my finishing on both of these cushions.  I think that maybe I am finally getting the hang of creating a nice finish.

TraderVic keeps asking me why there is so much stuff in my sewing room but, of course it is full of my stash so that I can always put my hand on the perfect fabbie or ribbons or buttons or beads for finishing.  For my haunted house I found some gorgeous reproduction fabric in different shades of lilac and the perfect ribbon - do you like the pretty little purple bow underneath the haunted house?

Furio approves....

I love the ghost kitty and do you see how Furio has snuck onto the top of the right column and Milo has crept underneath the ghost cat?

I finished it with little black cats on a ribbon.

And the bottom and backing fabric is black kitties on black!

For both of these designs I used overdyed 28 count fabric from my stash, plus various DMC and specialty threads which I chose myself.

I hope that you like them.  I love them both - I am very pleased with my Halloween stitching this month!

hugs, 

Noni's July Haunted House

Yeah!  I did it... I managed to finish my July "Haunted House" in July!!

My Haunted House is from The Trilogy's Halloween Sneak Peek.

Now I should let you into a secret.... I did start the Halloween Sneak Peek design earlier in the year with the plan that some of the little "sneak peek" designs would fit in perfectly to the monthly stitching themes and then I wouldn't have to think/plan too far ahead!

Sneak Peek Halloween - The Trilogy

With a little bit of luck I will get the Sneak Peek Black Cat finished in time for an August posting.... and my September theme is almost done as well.... oh, does that mean I might be getting organised! Don't believe it!! :o)

Til til next time.... happy Halloween stitching
Hugs xx

Tünde's July Haunted House Ornament

Pattern: freebie from La Comtesse
38 count grey linen with Nina's thread Espresso

Hi there! I'm so excited to join your group and finally share my ornament for July, the very first one. I stitched the freebie from La Comtesse, however just a part of it. Looking forward to see and share the next month's projects.
More pics on my blog here, if you would like to visit. Happy stitching and enjoy your weekend!

July's haunted house

My haunted house is from Hand blessings.  I changed the thread colors and fabric from those suggested.

Boo!

Cheryl's July Haunted House Ornament

WooooooOOOOOOoooooo!

I think my house might have been spookier had I used grey or purple instead of gold.
(I was going for an autumn leaf palette.)

Anyhoo ... I found this free pattern here:

Rita's Haunted House for July 2015

OK.  I feel better now...July AND Aug. finished.

This is a freebie from the subrosa blog.  I used fabric and floss I had on hand.  (DMC 844 and one of DMC's color variation threads...can't remember number and too lazy to get up to look.  lol!)

I omitted the letters at the top.

I look forward to seeing what others come with for the haunted house theme.

Happy stitching!

A ghost....

 I have finished "Haunted House" as my May piece.

I just squeezed it in under the "Monsters" theme as it has a ghost in it.

It is another freebie from Maja of The Snowflower Diaries.

I am rather please with her.

hugs, Kaye
