2. Balades et Broderie Noel

The Needlecraft Haven October Freebie Challenge, Freebie from Balades et Broderie

Stitched over 1 on 28count evenweave.

I'm not a fan of stitching long straight borders so I changed the white border into a backstitched lace effect instead.  I really enjoyed stitching this design, more than I initially thought I would.  Stitching over 1 made all the difference for me, it's just so sweet and delicate!  Christine really does have great taste in choosing these designs for us each month.

80 - Primitive Hare Xmas Time

Stitched 1 over 1 on 28 count platinum linen using DMC threads.

Finished into an ornie using backing fabric pictured.

I changed the white to B5200 and also the stars to a brighter yellow as the charted colours didn't show so well on my fabric.

Stuffed with my ORTS from 2011!!

Chart available from Primitive Hare as a freebie.

72 - Carand88 Witchy Kitty

This is the cute little Witchy Kitty from Carand88.

Stitched on 28count Burnt Orange Jobelan, my favourite fabric for Hallowe'en stitching.

I changed the main colour from cream to a nice silver grey (DMC 415) because it looks nicer on the orange.
I also changed the eyes to metallic green DMC.

Framed as part of a quartet of Spooky Kitties.  Two done, two to go.

67 - Ghostie Kitty

It's Glow-in-the-Dark Ghostie Kitty!  Stitched with Kreinik Glow-in-the-Dark thread.  I tried to get the much cheaper DMC version but it was sold out.  What a surprise, why didn't I think of buying it not in October?  ps do you know how hard it is to photograph in darkness?  Answer - very, then you have to photoshop to see the pic at all!

Stitched on black 28 count evenweave.
