Lofty Pumpkin - Finished

Hey Blog Buddies,
Hope you all are having a good weekend!  Our weather turned much cooler and autumn is in the air here.  What a great segue for my pumpkin piece, huh?

Here it is all finished and framed.

Lofty Pumpkin

Designer:  Twisted Threads

Fabric: 25-count ecru Lugana

Threads:  Recommended DMC, one over one

 

I told you I had the most perfect frame, didn't I?

It's by Homespun Elegance,

probably for one of her specific designs,

but it goes with piece this beautifully, too.

 

On the Hallowe'en front, I stitched the September ornament,

so now I'm all caught up with my SAL.

 

This is another design from

BBD's Trix or Treat booklet.

The theme for this month's ornament is

Hallowe'en words.

To celebrate this finish, I put up my Hallowe'en tree.

It looks quite festive with nine new ornaments!

The fabric is (again) 40-count Heritage linen,

and I used Gloriana silk in the color Charcoal.

This was cute and very quick to stitch!

 

Lastly, here is a little something that

I started a while ago and haven't showed yet:

 

This will eventually be one of

Victoria Sampler's Tudor Tassel ornaments.

The pattern is from

the 2010 JCS Christmas Ornament issue.

I've had this kitted up for almost 3 years now.

I think the finishing is what's been

making me procrastinate on this project.

But I'm glad it's at least started,

because now I'm much more likely to pick it up soon-ish!

(I refuse to define "soon-ish"!)

 

Right now I am working on my long-neglected BAP

Rosewood Manor's A Tree by Itself.

I started it in April and haven't picked it up since!

Stay tuned for a update on that in a few days.

 

That's it from here.

Thanks, as always, for visiting!
