Framed Fright by Barefoot Needleart 

from the Just Cross Stitch Hallowe'en Ornament Special 2020

stitched over 1 on 28 count Moondust evenweave from Crafty Kitten

I used a Victorian Motto Sampler thread called Violet Grey for the Castle, it is subtly variegated and was a gift from Beth in IL. The tree and bat are DMC 310. There is supposed to be an ornate frame all the way around it but I didn't fancy stitching all that yellowgold so I will use a scrapbook frame instead.

27. Judith Stanley Bramble Harvest

Judith Stanley designing for Needlepoise - Bramble Harvest

Stitched on 28 count Annabelle evenweave

using the threads from the kit.

A mixture of Anchor and Perle Cotton

I stitched most of this back in the late 1990s and only had the blackberries to complete.  I discovered a mistake in the placement which is probably why I had stopped stitching on it!

26. Hands on Design Broomstick Fuel

My third finish in the Scary Apothecary series:

Broomstick Fuel

stitched on 28 count linen in Radioactive from Chromatic Alchemy

I am using the DMC conversion for this, except for:

the black which is Weeks Dye Works Kohl 

(charted for CC Zack Black or DMC 317).
  

I used a blend of two DMC for the pink around the word "Fuel" rather than the charted variegated

I finished it in this frame from B&M

For the horizontal frames, I have used some scrapbook paper.  The plan is to stitch some poison bottles on perforated paper and add them to the piece.

Framed with Bat Balm and Bitter Brew
