Tamra's January Winged Creature

Hi All!

For the theme of Winged Creatures I decided on one of Prairie Schooler's Mini Cards.  Owl.

Have a happy stitchy month!

Cheryl's January Winged Creature

This month I stitched a freebie owl chart from Aliolka.  The owl was stitched on 14 ct plastic canvas and backed with felt.

I really enjoy making ornaments from plastic canvas as they are easy to finish, very sturdy, and flat - which makes them easy to pack away when they aren't being displayed.

Happy Stitching!

Cheryl's November Creepy Tree Ornament

"Little Owl Sampler"

by Knotted Tree NeedleArt

Pattern was featured in the 2012 Just Cross Stitch Halloween Special Issue. Stitched on a scrap of 14 count "something or other" with leftover bits of floss.  Just for fun, I used a lighter shade of purple for the letters that appear in my name.

Here is my finish for June.  I enjoyed stitching this so much!

April's March, April & May Halloween Stitches

So I am a little behind, but I finally have March, April and May stitches to share.

March's stitch is a piece from The Prairie Schooler.  It is from a leaflet from last year.  Unfortunately I don't remember the name of it.

April's stitch is also from The Prairie Schooler.  Again I don't have the leaflet in front of me, so I don't know the name of it.

Finally my May stitch is a free chart from Primitive Betty's.  Sorry the photo is sideways.  I love the pumpkin tree and I couldn't pass it up for this month's stitch,

February and March ornies

Oh dear, I haven't done well at all so far keeping up with the SAL, thanks to some crazy working hours and no stitching mojo.  The last couple of weeks, though, I was determined to get some stitching under my belt, and what perfect way to get back into it than catching up on my Halloween SAL stitching.  I decided to work from a chart from The Prairie Schooler and stitched up the Skeleton and Owl from that pattern ... I think I could stitch from that chart all year long and fill in all the themes, I just love it! :)

I'm struggling to find some fabric for my choice of design for April, but I'd better hurry up and find something soon, or I'll be doing April and May again next month!!

Jacquie's March and April Design

Posting on behalf of Jacquie.

Hello, I thought I would stitch both March and April's designs all in one!  So firstly apologies that March is slightly late.

The design is an old design I found on someone's blog....I checked my source and unfortunately the address is no longer working...the design is stitched on cream 16 count Aida, all stitched with DMC threads.

Here is my stitch...

Noni's March Finish

Hello!  I am on time for a change!  Below is my March stitching for Owls, Ravens or Crows.

This Halloween style owl was designed by "Needle Bling Designs" and I stitched him on "Rocky Creek Canyon" 32ct Belfast from Stitches and Spice.

The chart is a freebie that is located on the Needle Bling Designs website, but I originally found the freebie via the "Pumpkin Seed Stitchers" FB group.

I haven't decided what to do with him yet... he would make a nice little cushion for a Halloween display I think... but that thought is for another day!

Til next time, happy stitching

The Owls of March

I'm off to the dentist soon so this will be brief ... Owl- O-Ween from Blackberry Lane Designs.

Cheryl's March Owl Ornament

I pulled this little owl from the "Owl Candle Band" in the JCS October 2014 issue.  Designed by Elizabeth Spurlock.  I stitched him on 14 ct plastic canvas, added a felt backing and a braided loop for hanging.

On the last day of the month, I just finished my Owl!  This is "O" is for Owl, a freebie from Rainbow Gallery.  The body of the owl is done with the oblong rice stitch. I used variegated DMC 111 for the letters.

April Owl

I barely managed to get my tiny owl done on time this month. Nothing like waiting till the last minute. This is not the best picture. Though it doesn't look like it, this owl is one of the motifs from Behind the Gate and is stitched on the same orange fabric as before.

Noni's April Owl

Happy Owl-a-ween!!!

As you know April's theme was "Owls"... and I have finished my owl ahead of time (for a change!!)

So for my April stitching I decided to go back to my trusty Just Cross Stitch "Halloween Ornament 2013" special.  Now there are a couple of cute owls in the magazine but I just had to stitch the one designed by Diane Arthurs - "Owliver & Punky".

"Owliver & Punky" - Diane Arthurs
stitched 5 April 2014, finished 25 April 2014

I decided to stitch this little cutie on plastic canvas - I haven't used plastic canvas for so long so it made a nice change to do something different for a change!

Next month's theme is "Monsters" and this time I have no idea what to stitch!!  Fingers crossed some inspiration comes along sooner rather than later!!

So til next month, happy Halloween stitching!

Owl.

Pumpkin Patch, The Prairie Schooler
