| I made the tassels for a pop of Halloween color |
This is an old stitchery that I had completed from a Kathy Schmitz pattern a few years ago. I had never done anything with it, so this week I decided to make it into a little pillow.
I've had this vintage Halloween fabric for years and used it for the backing. I think the fabric is so cute.
Here it sits with a few other Kathy Schmitz designs. I have a container full of little pumpkins that I need to get out from the garage. This display needs more color, for sure.
I also taught myself to crochet this week, using a you tube video. I did a blog post below on these dish cloths.
I am linking to Kathy's Quilt: Slow Sunday Stitching to share what I've been working on this week. If you enjoy slow stitching, go over to see what others are working on.... there are lots of pretty things there!
Lovely stitchery--so darn cute!! And those tassels really top it off so well...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYour vintage fabric is such a good choice for the backing on the Halloween stitcery pillow. I don't find time to do the embroidery projects much any more. I do like almost every stitchery pattern Kathy Schmitz has designed. Some would take a lot of time to stitch though.
ReplyDeleteI used to love to crochet. I made many afghans over the years and then I did baby blankets for a children's hospital too. The crochet afghan patterns are so much more involved and sophisticated than those of the 1960's etc. I did do several afghans with added cross stitch embroidery. Those were my favorites.
I love your Halloween items, so cute. The little frames with stitches are really cute too!
ReplyDeleteThe little Halloween pillow stitchery is adorable, just love the backing fabric and I adore Kathy Schmitz patterns, those on display are sweet. Your crocheting looks very good, Youtube is such a great tool to learn from, when I get stuck on a stitch either embroidery, crochet or knitting its where I go.
ReplyDeleteYour stitched piece made up into a great holiday pillow. Very fun backing. The pillow looks good with your other decor items, but a splash of pumpkin would add to the fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, you are making me want to sew and crochet! I will have to check out what slow stitching is. I do everything fast. Every day is a race with the to-do list, except Saturday, which is my rest day. Love the pics!

Your picture display is charming; the pillow equally so. It always feels great to finish up old projects and pick up new ones. The crochet project is coming along nicely--well done!!
