Cross Stitch Update

I have been working a little on Sleepy Hollow.  I've finished the graveyard and started working on the church. I got an hour and a half of stitching in while I was in the car waiting for my son to finish soccer practice.  The field is about 25 minutes from my house, and it doesn't make much sense to drop him off and then turn right around a half hour later and go pick him up.  They switched practice to 5:30 to 7:00, so last week I had enough light to stitch almost the whole time.

 

I also did an ornament for a Halloween exchange, but I didn't want to show it until I got it mailed out.

 Cheryl stitched a spider web for me.  If you look closely, you can see the spider charm in the web.  No matter what light I tried, the ribbon she used looks blue in the picture.  It is really purple.

 

 

This is the center part of the Ink Circles Design that is in this year's JCS Halloween issue. 

 

For my partner, Nancy, I stitched Little Owl Sampler by Knotted Tree NeedleArt. The chart is in JCS 2012  Halloween issue.

 

 

I like to personalize the ornaments I stitch for friends with our initials or names, but there was no good place to do that on this ornament, so I did it on the back. 

 

This is my September ornament for the Ornament  SAL. To see more ornaments:
