Cheryl's April Spider

Instead of stitching an ornament this month, I pulled out my "Halloween Collage" sampler and stitched a spider.

"Halloween Collage" by Sharon Pope can be found in the JCS 2014 Halloween Issue.

I'm really creeping along on this project. 




Here is what the entire sampler looks like:

Spooky Stitching!

Halloween Happiness... The Spidery E's

Each month during 2017 I will be stitching on the design Halloween Happiness by Sandra Cozzolino / Imaginating.  I have picked a portion of the chart that fits with the themes with the aim to get it all fully stitched by the end of 2017!

Sorry no excuses for being late in posting... this portion of the project was finished well before the end of the month - but time just got away from me (again!)...

Anyway... so March's theme was Spiders and Cobwebs and the 2 E's slotted quite neatly into the theme with their spiders and cobwebs decorations.

Here are the completed E's...

The whole project so far looks like this:

I love this design and can't wait to great back to it later in the month.

Til next time, happy Halloween stitching!

Noni's Spider

Incy wincy spider went up the web to the trick or treat bag......

A very quick stitch... two colours! Stitched on plain 28ct linen with DMC - nothing too fancy!  The chart was featured in the Just Cross Stitch Halloween 2015 issue.

Now next month is free choice.... and I have no idea what to stitch!  Actually I have lots of ideas just can't make up my mind :o)

Til then... happy Halloween stitching

Cheryl's May Spider

Jack-A-Rachnid by Deborah Dick

I have wanted to stitch this spider ever since I first laid eyes on him!  When I saw that the theme for May was spiders, I pulled out my old magazines to find the chart.  I finally found it in the Just Cross Stitch September/October 2013 issue (Volume 31 Issue 5).

Enjoy!

Determined ...

... not to be scraping in by the skin of my teeth for my May ornament, I stitched like a crazy witch all day yesterday (1st May) to get the next band finished in Counting Bats by Just Nan for the theme of "Spiders".

(the fabbie is so much prettier than I can get my camera to show - it is a pretty lilac and blue)

Phew!  Feeling so good about my monthly goals right about now.

hugs, Kaye

Cheryl's April Ghost Ornament

Little Boo by Carolyn Manning

This month I chose to stitch "Little Boo" by Carolyn Manning.  This chart is featured in the October 2015 issue of Just Cross Stitch magazine.

Boo!

Cheryl's December Ornament

Itsy Bitsy

by Charlette Dockens

I chose this chart to stitch for December as it is just so darn cute!  I stitched it on 14 count plastic canvas and backed it with felt.  A quick and easy finish to end the year.

"Itsy Bitsy" by Charlette Dockens of Charlette's Collectibles is featured in the 2015 Just Cross Stitch Halloween Issue.
