Loretta's March, April and May Ornies

I got kind of sidetracked but made up for it this week.  The following are my ornies for March, April & May.

All three are from the 2015 JCS Special Collector's Issue Halloween.  The Pumpkin and Ghost are by Belinda Karls-Nace of Blue Ribbon Designs and the Trick or Treat is by Nancy Greenberg of Pickle Barrel Designs.

Thanks for looking!

March: Pumpkin

My March Pumpkin design is by JBW. It's one of 12 designs from the leaflets Halloween Ornaments I-III. I've stated the finishing, I just need to add a hanger.

Mr. Pumpkin

 Here is my march post, I call him Mr. Pumpkin.  He is from the PS chart Boo.  I stitched him on 32 ct. linen from my stash .  He is now in the rather large pile to be finished!!

Cheryl's March Pumpkin

This pumpkin was stitched from part of a larger pattern: "Eek!" by Michelle Lutzen of Stitch Kitty.  It was featured in the 2012 Just Cross Stitch Halloween issue.

I just love his kooky face!

Crafting Paws' Pumpkin Cupcake (March)...

The minute I saw this pattern, I couldn't wait to stitch it for March.

My pumpkin cupcake ornament...

The pattern is from the website Mini Cross Stitch and I stitched it on 14 ct. white Aida.

(The pattern is called "Halloween Cupcakes" and there are 9 different cupcakes to stitch.)

I'm planning on finishing it as a hoop and hope to have that done soon.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing all the other cute ornaments!

Jo's March Finish - Pumpkins

Pumpkins is always a popular theme for this blog and there are some great designs out there.

Here is my Pumpkin Patch:

It is part of a larger design by Just Nan called Counting Bats.  I love all the crazy faces on each of the pumpkins!  The beads in the bottom border are striped orange beads and I've just noticed the end one is wonky.  Have to fix that!

Here is the whole piece so far:

I don't think I've shown you the framed Thine is The Trick and The Treat I collected from my framers the other day?   

Close-up of one corner to show the frame:

This was actually finished last April but I've only just been able to afford to get it framed professionally with my Christmas vouchers.  Here's the post where I talked about my Happy Dance.

Noni's Blue Ribbon Pumpkin

I found the perfect quick stitch for this month... "Halloween Portraits" by Blue Ribbon Designs.

This little pumpkin is one of 6 or 7 designs included in the "Halloween Portraits" set.  Besides the cute pumpkin there is also a ghost, witch, black cat, crow, owl... plus a couple more that I can't remember... I will have plenty more to stitch over the coming months for my Halloween themes!  The designs were published in the Just Cross Stitch Halloween 2015 magazine.

Once I have stitched a couple more on this piece of fabric I will turn them into little pillow ornies... but the final finish may be some time off!! :o)

Looking forward to seeing all those lovely pumpkins pop up over the next couple of weeks!

See you next month for a ghostly visit....
