I've been working on Happy Haunting (by Shepherd's Bush) over the past couple of weeks, and finished it yesterday.
Photo (a bit washed out) with all the buttons sewn on:
And these are scans of the top and bottom before the buttons were put on... I think the scans are a bit nicer than the photo, hence why I'm adding them.
What a fun stitch that was! I always panic when I'm sorting the threads in the kit for a Shepherd's Bush design... I'm always convinced that there's no way it's going to be enough thread, but it always is... !
And to make this post a wee bit longer ;-) This was my Halloween finish from last year. Still one of my favourites!
Now I think I'm in the mood to stitch something Christmas-y or maybe winter themed? Hmmm.... I'm becoming quite the seasonal stitcher aren't I! ;-P
Your Shepherd's Bush finish is just gorgeous! I obviously haven't looked at that particular done closely enough before. Well done on your beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteConcetta, both projects are beautiful! I recently started Happy Haunting. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm going to post a link to your blog on my SBBB! We're doing a SAL for it right now. :)

Happy haunting looks brill. I've got it as a WIP so I might try folowing your example to finish it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love seasonal stitching! I always wish I could cram in a bit more than I manage. :)
ReplyDeleteYour SB is gorgeous!! And last year's Miriabella is, too. :)
Your stitching looks great, Concetta! Love the SB.
ReplyDeleteYour SB finish is gorgeous, and just in time for Halloween too :D I like the fairy you did, very cute :) Are you stitching all of them?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish! Looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBoth lovely designs, last years is really nice and not seen that before
ReplyDeleteI'm all about seasonal stitching :)
ReplyDeleteYour Happy Haunting looks wonderful! I have been meaning to start that, and hope I don't lose that urge after the holiday passes. Halloween Fairy looks fabulous as well. Congratulations on two wonderful finishes
What a cute halloween piece. Congrats on the finish.
ReplyDeleteHappy Haunting is stunning - and what a beautiful framing job on Halloween Fairy too!
ReplyDeleteSpook-tacular finish!!!! I just love this B designs...well done!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour SB finish is gorgeous! Love the framing on the Halloween Fairy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Haunting is lovely - very seasonal indeed :) I love your fairy from last year - the fabric and framing are perfect! Happy Hallowe'en :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish - congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely join our seasonal SAL :) No obligations - it's just a bit of fun.
And as for Autumn in My Garden over one - do it on whatever fabric you enjoy stitching on most. I love stitching over one so I'm really enjoying it, but if 40ct is more your thing you should use that. I really think it would look great! :)
That look awesome! Congratulations on your finish ~ and just in time for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteahh.. both are lovely!
ReplyDeleteWoweeeeee, they are both b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! Superlative stitching. You MUST be extremely proud, way to go. Bet you cna't tell Im' impressed.

ReplyDeleteHappy Haunting turned out beautiful. What a fun finish, the goat with the hat and scarf is great. It was fun seeing your Halloween Fairy again too, this is one of my favorite Mirabilia's.
