02. Just Nan Witching Hour Cube

 

Just Nan Witching Hour Cube

Stitched on 32 count purple linen

After I finished stitching the cube, I made a card form to go inside.

I stitched the four vertical sides together, inserted the card form then filled it with stuffing.  I added a heavy bolt to weight it down then stitched the bottom shut.

22. Living on the Rainbow 3D Haunted House

Living on the Rainbow 3D Haunted House

stitched on 32 count purple linen

I changed the finishing method a bit.

Instead of using iron-on interfacing, I mounted each piece on thin card.

I whipstitched the four sides together.

Then I stitched the roof on three sides from the back, turned it right way out, inserted some thin card and whipstitched the fourth side shut.

I backstitched along the top to make a ridge in the roof then stitched the roof to the four walls.

(that was the hardest part in the process)

I stuffed the house with pillow stuffing.

Finally, I covered a piece of thin card in linen and stitched it to the bottom of the house.

Here it is with the 3D Mansion from World of Cross Stitching magazine:
