A little halloween.....

I finally got around to stitching a couple

of designs from BBD's "Trix or Treat"...

I just love this book!

BBD "Boo!"

Stitched on 36ct linen w/DMC

BBD "Black Cat"

Stitched on 32ct rust linen w/DMC

My favorite....the black cat!  

If he was just a little fatter, he would

remind me of my own black cat!

"Boo!" almost became a casualty. 

Don't you love the little scallop fabric frame?

I hate to waste my fabric so I usually leave
just enough for finishing. I stitched this little
cutie with no problem. Unfortunately I started
another design on the same piece of fabric
thinking I had plenty of room between the
two and was horrified to see just an inch
between the two when I removed the q-snaps.

Well....what to do.

Thanks to my handy Big Shot, a scallop square 
die and some fusible web, I think my finish
turned out pretty cute.   I actually like the
way it turned out and hope to do this again.

(Hubby will be happy I'm finally using some of those dies.)

Well....I'm off to the beach for the Pals

"Stitching at the Beach Retreat"!  

I am so looking forward to several days

of stitching and laughing with good friends.

happy stitching....
