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!

Kaye's May stitch....

.... well, I didn't think I was going to get an ornie done by the end of the month, which is tomorrow.  But I made a concerted effort last night to get my Pumpkin ornie finished and here is the result:

"King of Halloween"

Freebie from 

La Comtesse de le point de croix

28 count Waterfall Blue Lugana 

(the photos do not do the colour justice - it is more a mint green)

Pumpkin: WDW Fiesta (my favourite colour for Halloween pumpkins)

Rest of design: various DMC threads

Anyway, that is this month for me - off to choose my June design.

Jo's April Ornament

I did rather struggle to find a tombstone I liked this month!  I'm not a fan of stitching them on their own but couldn't find a suitable larger pattern with one in.  I'd already stitched La Comtesse one that Kaye did!

So here is my work-around, the letter N from the Primitive Hare's Hallowe'en Cubes:

And here the four I have stitched so far:

They are all stitched on the same 32 count Vintage Grain linen, just photographed in different lights.

And here is La Comtesse's Haunted Castle:

Drawing a bit of a long bow ...

... on choosing my tombstone design for this month!

You see, I searched high and low for a tombstone design that I liked (unfortunately I didn't seem to see any of the lovely ones which have popped up on the blog this month).

But, in my searching, I found this wonderful free design by La Comtesse de la pointe de croix. She has an absolutely gorgeous blog and has a lot of wonderful free designs (nearly 150), so well worth a visit.

Now, if you look very closely on the left hand side, you can see some little crosses - they are my "tombstones".  Tiny, but they are there.

I finished it as a plain cushion with some leftover quilt fabric on the back.

Happy Halloween

I love this design and it was such a joy to stitch - I love the castle, especially.
