Happy Halloween Pillow By The Bay Needleart




I really like the halloween holiday, this pattern is a By The Bay Needleart by Donna Bayliss, she really did do a great job creating this pattern.


I did change the colors a little I use a varigated thread (DMC) I also changed the color of the fabric, I really like the way it came out.


I use a brushed velvet for the bottom, the print on the top and back I have had for several years, I feel they go together well.


I am going to start on my next Blackbird Designs exchange tomorrow.


I think I will start on my decorating for fall and hope I get it done by this thursday.


Happy stitching to you all.

Send Hope To Haiti


I am really trying to get cought up with my finishes, this is such a hard task.
I have time to stitch and no time for finishing, I just may need to contact Vonna to do a few finishes for me if I donot get on the band wagon soon, I wanted to post the most important finish I have done.
I finished stitching this little lovely two weeks ago, and with the loss of my most handsom prince Vern I have not had much else on my mind, you see Vern the cat was with us for 18 years he was a cat someone tried to kill my husband saved him, from this fate.
On to my finish, this is the pattern By The Bay Needleart created for the Haiti relief fund.
I wanted to make a pin cushion that I could use everyday to remind me how lucky I am that I have not had a disater like the one in Haiti.
God Bless you Donna Bayliss for creating this pattern.
Happy Stitching

Halloween projects

This is Winifred Witch from the Just Cross Stitch Halloween
Annual Issue, I did change the color of the fabric the instructions
called for carrot I wanted to use a gold piece, I really like this
pattern. (Issue October 2010)

This is The By The Bay Needleart Happy Haunting, I did make a
couple of changes on this pattern also, I used a different type of
I used a varigated thread oround the framing of the picture I do like
the way it looks. I raelly love this pattern I may do a couple more in
different colors.
This pattern is a Heart In Hand Wee One, Halloween Bird,
the trim is a yarn of some kind I am not sure what, I found a site
on Ebay that sells small bags of trim for scrap booking, I like the
look of this trim, I did have to glue it on.
As you can tell I am getting ready for halloween, I did start to bring out my fall decorations, at the end of September I will put out halloween stuff. We do not put out a lot but the house does get a real makeover inside.
I will post pictures of the finished projects soon.
Happy Labor day to you all.
God Bless America
and all who protect
her.
