July's pumpkins are finally finished

I finished my pumpkins for July this morning.  Since I just started them on July 30th, I'm thinking I did okay.  July was a busy month and I considered not doing the pumpkins and just jumping onto August's ghosts.  However, this is one of my favorite patterns.  I've stitched it 2 other times for people who are not me.  Skipping it was not an option.

I don't know what it is about this trio of goofy guys but they put a grin on my face every time.

July Pumpkin

July has flown away. I planned to stitch the five pumpkin related ornaments in Behind The Gate but just barely managed to get this one done.

I hope to do better next month.
In stitches,

Debbie's June/July ornament

I missed the June ornament post, since I was trying to finish my oldest UFO and couldn't start anything new!  I planned to stitch Boo!, the free chart from Glory Bee, as my freebie Halloween ornament for June.  This also fits the July Pumpkins theme!

Jo's July Ornament

Nice to see a few Pumpkin finishes being posted.  Please feel free to post any finishes from previous months too, no-one is keeping track of how late they are!

I chose a sweet little Just Nan design for my pumpkin.  It's one of a set of three called Moon Riders.  The other two designs are a witch and a ghost, both sitting on moons.

Moon Rider Jack

I used a piece of my favourite 32 count lavender evenweave for this and the recommended DMC, except for the moon which I changed to DMC 4090, a variegated thread.  I also changed the plain border to a stripy one.

The fabric is big enough to stitch all three in a row although I haven't decided how I will finish them

Pumpkin Fairy

Ever since I saw this ornament in the 2010 JCS Halloween issue, I knew I would stitch it someday.  She's stitched on 28 ct Willow cashel linen and finished with tutu trim!  I love the way she came out!

July... already?!

Well yes I am a little behind... sorry :(
But stitched a pumpkin and thought YES!! July!!  Its not spooky so not very Halloweeny.. is that a word?  

Stitched on 28 count DMC beige linen

This design is a freebie and already been added to the list, under crow and pumpkin.  The original has alphabet letters surrounding the design... I left them out.

Made it into a pillow to go in my stitching basket :)
