Scream House

I finally finished the cross stitching on  Just Nan's Scream House today. It is cloudy out, so these aren't the best pictures.



I had a difficult time with the stitching since the linen was limp.  I do a lot of stitching in-hand without a hoop, but this was so limp I had to use a q-snap, and there wasn't a lot of margin to snap it on.  I wish the linen had been 2 inches wider!


 I still have a little beading to do on it and need to do a lot of mindless back stitching around each piece.  Then comes the construction, which I've heard is complicated.  But the good news is I could very well have it done by Halloween this year.  It has been a long time since I've had a cross stitch finish.
