I haven't done much Halloween stitching; I have done a bit of fall stitching but this is my first "official" Halloween piece, in other words, this won't pass as Fall too. LOL If you look closely, you can see some subtle shading in the hand-dyed fabric I used. Sure wish I could remember where I got it, it had a nice "stiffness" to it that made stitching on it easy. I like the colors in this piece too, they are Halloween-y but not too traditionally so. Oh, the piece is called Witch Way to the Candy (bet you never would have guessed that had I not told you!) and is by Susan Aldrich, and can be downloaded for free at www.cyberstitchers.com. Now, does it want to be a pillow, or a wall hanging?
It's beginning to cool off a bit here in the desert, which is nice. We are expecting some rain possibly later in the week with the coming hurricane that is expected to shoot up north through Mexico. That will be nice, as my grass is not looking so hot anymore. Actually, it's looking extremely hot and therein lies the problem!
Well, I have another Halloween piece to get started on, so I best run.
