Victory! After last week's flu shot adventure derailed my finishing and framing plans, I have finally been able to play in my sewing room and I have stuff to show y'all!
Ichabod Crane Inn is by The Primitive Hare and is in the book "Le point de croix au fil des saisons." I got my copy several years ago from Amazon France, and it used to be available from Casa Cenina (which I have no personal experience with), but I don't know if it's still available. I have always loved this piece and even though it's not a perfect job, it's now framed and I can enjoy it.
Here's my purple house conversion of Judith Kirby's Victorian House #9. Color conversion and fabric info are in this post and in this one.
I also did the finishing on this little piece, Simply Boo by Elizabeth's Designs from the 2015 Just Cross Stitch Special Halloween Issue. Info on my color changes can be found in this post.
I love this spiky black ribbon trim. I've used it several times and keep a supply on hand as I've never found it anywhere other than Hobby Lobby.
I have grown-up stuff to do tomorrow, but hopefully Thursday I'll be back in the sewing room making a mess. Stay tuned!
Each one of your spooky finishes look super, Honeybee. I really like the frame you used for the Judith Kirby purple house.
ReplyDeleteLove the purple house and that Hershey bar looks tempting....Happy Halloween,
ReplyDeleteHoneybee....
Great choice of frames. BOO is really cute.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are beautiful, especially that BOO! Wow! Breathtaking. Love the colors, and that ribbon is awesome. It goes perfectly with that stitch, with the spiky parts in the pattern. Um, the candy.... YUM. Mine is staying hidden until the very last minute. I have a 15-year-old who has no limits. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteAll great Halloween finishes!

Every year I see Halloween stitching and think that I must do some one day, I seem to go straight from summer to Christmas designs. I especially like the BOO piece. x

ReplyDeleteLovely stitching!! My late mother in law's maiden name was Crane so I love seeing any Ichabod Crane pieces.
