Seize the Night

Just finished up a small design that Mr. Wonderful chose. This is "Carpe Noctem" by Elizabeth Spurlock, from the 2015 Just Cross Stitch Halloween Special Collector's Issue. This is a brown conversion stitched on R & R 30 ct. Irish Creme linen. The model in the magazine is stitched in shades of red on a grey sweatshirt, but I wanted a more aged look. The browns I used are DMC: 3371, 938, 898, 801, 433, 434.


Pretty spooky!

      Hi Mardell! It means "seize the night". It's a play on the popular phrase "carpe diem" (seize the day).
