Good morning, pumpkin! Happy Thursday.
One more day until the first stamp is posted on my Mystery Autumn Stamp SAL. I am so grateful to all of those who are participating, and to those who are following along . 🤗🍁🍂
Since it is Thursday, it is time for me to start a new embroidery project. This one is a Halloween one and will be just a small wall hanging.
The other day I gathered lots of fun Halloween fabrics, and soon I settled on several to work with.
I would be tickled pink or should I say orange if you would like to join me in some spooky prim Halloween stitchery.

This is not a tutorial , but I will share the size of fabrics that I used for the small wall hanging.
From white fabric - CUT 1 - 8 1/2" x 12 1/2" rectangle
From assorted Halloween prints - CUT 14- 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" squares.
I pieced my quilt together and then traced the design onto the fabric to embroider, but if you prefer to embroider first please do so. You know me I am sorta a fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal.
I am using DMC 310 for the embroidery and using the back stitch. I had considered color tinting the Halloween motifs with crayons, but didn't. Wouldn't that be darling though?
Thank you so much for the sweet Thursday visit and
As always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
Melisa

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Denise. I hope to get it completed so I can put in the hoop very soon. Lol sometimes I get very anxious about the piecing, but it all seems to work out. Happy quilting.
DeleteI don not know how you get so much stitching done Melisa! I am working on your Autumn Sampler, but will not have the entire outline done before tomorrow, but no worries as that first little box is ready!! :-) Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteAAah thank you so much, Sandie. I do not feel like I get a lot done, but so many tell me that I do . Lol. These are quick stitches so you will not have any trouble stitching them up and moving on to the next one in a day. I so hope you enjoy. Hugs.
