Well a few more days and it will be Halloween! I haven't crafted as much as I would have liked lately but, I did manage to fully finish two cross stitch patterns, Hazel and Mitzi, designed by Christi, Javagirl Stitches. These designs are fun and quick and perfect if you like Halloween and need a break from a large project!
Hazel is dressed up in candy corn colors and Mitzi dressed up as a witch; nothing spooky but cute! All DMC floss used and I did change a few colors on Hazel but kept Mitzi's colors as called for on the pattern. They are both stitched on 14 ct Aida called Fronk by Seraphim Fabrics.
The pillows are approximately a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square. I did iron on some interfacing behind the images as a layer of protection before assembling and stuffing the pillow. The fabric I used to make the pillows is from the Holiday Essentials Halloween collection by Stacy Iest Hsu for Moda Fabrics which I also used as the pillow backing. A bit of rick rack and ribbon bow for embellishment makes it a nice and simple finish! These will be some cute home decor pieces to put on display!
Happy Halloween Stitching!
