It's Sew Spooky in Australia!




Natalia of Koala's Needlework Cross Stitch and Embroidery sent me this lovely picture of her finish of Sew Spooky. It's stitched on a 32ct linen hand-dyed by Nina using various threads and the tiny charm was purchased at a craft show in Sydney. There are more pictures of this beautifully stitched and finished pin keep over on Natalia's blog and while you are there, take time to look at Natalia's other delightful stitching and finishing. You will see she is stitching the Mystery SAL in two different versions and it's very difficult to say which one I like best as both are very lovely! Thank you Natalia for allowing me to show your Sew Spooky here.

Sew Spooky is still available *here* or by clicking on the CHARTS button on the sidebar. For all the Halloween addicts please keep checking back as Sew Halloween will be released very shortly!

I have finished stitching Tante Minna and need to get this one framed for my 'red wall'. I have also been working on Jane Rees. Yesterday I decided to line my box for the Mystery SAL piece and I'm very pleased with the result and can't wait to show it off! The silk ribbons I ordered from HDF for Chelsea's ornament arrived this morning so I will be finishing this sometime soon. I designed this ornament in memory of Chelsea and which reflects Chelsea's love of the ocean.

Thanks for visiting
Take care

iStitch Designs

In the past few weeks I have been sent pictures of finished iStitch designs. First up ....






... is Sew Spooky as stitched and finished by Michele of X Marks My Spot. Stitched on 28ct taupe linen with CC, WDW and DMC threads, Michele finished this as a wonderful pillow with an amazing backing fabric that compliments this design perfectly. There is a picture on Michele's blog so pop over and have a look.






Next up is Sew Nautical stitched and finished by Suzanne of Berkshire Cottage. Suzanne used a silk thread on a fabulous shade of blue linen and finished it as a 'heavy-weight'. Pretty finish - I love the tassels trim!





Lastly, but by no means the least, Lucy of Made By Me has taken sections of Sew Noel to produce some very pretty ornaments and there are more pictures on her blog showing the co-ordinating backing fabric.

A big thank you for Michele, Suzanne and Lucy for allowing me to show their stitching on here. If you have any finished iStitch designs you would like to showcase on here, I would love to hear from you. My email address is on my profile.

Sew Spooky, Sew Nautical and Sew Noel are still available *here* or by clicking on the CHARTS button on the sidebar. There is also a new 2010 Christmas freebie available with any purchase.

Thanks for visiting
Take care

Sew Spooky





Despite being laid up last week, I managed to put the final stitches into Sew Spooky as I had only to do the witches hair and the spiders web. I am planning on either framing this or finishing as a small cushion in time for Kirby to decorate her room at Uni. It is stitched on 40ct raw Newcastle linen with DMC 310, B5200, 535 and 367. The pumpkins are stitched with Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe hand dyed floss C and the spider's web is a strand of silver thread.

Sew Spooky is available *here* or by clicking on the CHARTS button on the side bar.







And talking of spiders this strange little fellow appeared in the garden a couple of weeks ago. I must say I have never seen a green spider and this one was a rather luminous green!

Thanks for visiting, have a great weekend
Take care

Sew Spooky








In time for Halloween stitching is Sew Spooky. Spiders and bats compete for space with two jolly little pumpkins and two little black cats. A ghostly apparition and a witch looking rather like the Wicked Witch of the West flies into the scene. The most talented Valie stitched this model for me and took this wonderful picture too. Thank you Valie for making my design come to life!

You can find this chart *here* or by clicking on the CHARTS button on the sidebar.
