WIP Wednesday: Halloween House (Purple Conversion)

I'm working on Judith Kirby's Victorian House #9, also known as Halloween House. I decided to do a purple conversion of the house.

 The original house colors:

 I'm stitching mine on 28 ct. Storm from Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie. The purples are DMC 154 and 3834; the greys in the roof are DMC 646 and 844; the darkened windows are DMC 646. The green trees in the background are stitched with a 2-ply half stitch rather than a single-ply cross stitch. All the other half stitches are 2-ply as well. I will probably change the color of the cobweb and mess with the border as well, but we'll see when I get there. 

 Happy Stitching!

    I love it! (I have one of the Victorians as well - #14, the "Summer Sunset" one where the house IS purple - that I want to stitch on a different fabric. Probably something more "sunset-y." LOL)

    Your purple conversion is lovely - much more fitting? I adore this chart & have been searching for it for years, would it be possible to buy it from you when you are finished stitching it please? Have a great week, Helen

      Helen, I keep all of my charts as part of my collection, but Stitch 'n Time in Saginaw, Michigan has permission from Judith Kirby to reprint these charts. That's where mine came from. I called them today to make sure they're still doing that, and I was told they do.

    I love your purple conversion too. I really like these haunted house designs. JCS seem to have quite a few. I must add one to my list!
