Halloween Greetings

 

BOO!

Happy Halloween Dear Friends,

 

I love Halloween with all the trimmings. 

Ghosts, goblins, jack-o-lanterns, everything Halloween-y.

I have been stitching quite a few Halloween designs and picked

them up from the framers today. 

 

 

 Sweeping Cobwebs by Prairie Schooler

 The frame for Sweeping Cobwebs is just gorgeous. 

It was hard to get a good picture on this dreary day before Halloween.

 

Trix or Treat by Blackbird Designs

 

 Her Wicked Best by Primitive Needle.

The fabric really is a very Halloween-y orange.

I haven't shipped this one off to the framer yet and can't wait to do so.

 

 

I also picked up a piece unrelated to Halloween.

I started this piece in St. Louis in September and it stitched up very quickly.

 

 Home Sweet Home by Pineberry Lane

Thank you for stopping by and spending a part of your day with me. 

I love to hear from you and share the love of stitching.

 

I hope Halloween brings you lots of sugar filled children,

cute costumes and a few good frights.

Keep on stitchin,
Nan

October Already?

Greetings Friends,

 

It is hard to believe October is already here. 

Time is flying and I've been in a Halloween mood for stitching.

 

This weekend brings our city's annual Oktoberfest.  I'm looking forward to the unlimited supply of fried food and catching up with friends I only see visiting the Oktoberfest.

 

October also  brings one of my favorite holidays.  HALLOWEEN!

I finished BBD's Trix or Treat.  This was a fast, fun stitch.  I think I'll have this one framed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I finally got my Halloween decorations out on the mantle. 

 I have a few more stitched pieces to finish for Halloween.

Hopefully I can find my finishing mojo this weekend.

 

 

I also found the energy to put away my 4th of July pieces and changed to Fall.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

This Fall I participated in a couple of exchanges.

 

My friend Karen and I did our annual Halloween exchange.

 

Karen and I did a stitched (but not finished) exchange.

She stitched Holy Sheet over 1!  She also spoiled me with lots of Hallloween goodies.

 

(I giggle everytime I look at the piece Karen stitched for me....Holy Sheet!  LOL!)

 

 

Here are the goodies I sent Karen.

The Halloween bag is from Victoria Motto Sampler. 

It is full of Nancy's hand-dyed trim and floss.

If you haven't been by Nancy's blog check her out. 

Her trim is awesome and her prices are very reasonable.

 

I also participated in The Friends Stitching Through the Seasons exchange. 

You can see the goodies Edgar sent me in my previous post.

 

Here is what I sent my partner Michelle.

 

 

 

 

I hope everyone is having a great Autumn season. 

 

Thank you for stopping by and your sweet comments. 

 

Keep on stitchin'

Nan
