24. Oberlin Samplers Witches


Oberlin Samplers Witches
stitched on 32 count Lime Green Murano

The original design had some random spooky phrases round the edge but as I had already stitched the Hallowe'en Happiness with various spooky phrases I decided to change this to reflect a speech from my favourite Shakespeare play - the Scottish one! 
I also changed the words to the right which said Ghosts and Goblins to "brew a spell". There were no ghosts or goblins in the design!

This was a gift from Vickie who loves pink and poodles!
Hence the fabric choice and the addition of a cute Poodle charm.

13. Joan Elliott July Mermaid


This is the July design in the Joan Elliott Diary which was the cover gift with World of Cross Stitching magazine in 2013.

Stitched on 28 count Jazlyn in Peacock from Crafty Kitten.

I used the charted DMC but substituted beads in her necklace and for the bubbles.

11. Just Nan Victorian Rose


Just Nan Victorian Rose freebie
Stitched on 32 count green linen
I couldn't find a suitable backing fabric so I finger-pressed the edges and whip stitched them together.
Then I used bugle beads to cover the join.
