Stitch-tober 2020: Week 1.5

 I spent last week working on FQS 2020 Halloween Mix and Match and their Fright Night Stitch-tober SAL. I also finished the stitching Mill Hill's Glowing Pumpkin, from the Painted Pumpkin series

The border is available as a free download from Fat Quarter Shop and the images to Mix and Match are from Lori Holts' Stitch cards.  

The first block is done. I opted for hot chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate bits. I'm not a pumpkin spice girl. Next will be the Jack o Lantern. 

Fright Night is being stitched on Hazey Gray, by Fabric Flair, with WDW over dyes. Week One included the word 'Halloween" and a spider hanging in its web from the letters E-N. Week 2 is a bat and moon to the right. I have the bat started and I'm thinkig about using DMC or Krinek glow in the dark for the moon.

Today I started the beading on Glowing Pumpkin. Hope to finish it up this week. Next up is this Autumn Harvest kit, Moonlit Owl. My colors are sorted and ready to go. This little design takes 12 floss colors, 5 bead colors and a MH treasure, to bring it to life.

In between Mix and Match, Fright Night and Moonlit Owl, I plan to continue working on Blackbird Design's Moonlit Garden, and Lila Studio's Nevermore. I would really like a finish on Moonlit Garden this month.

September 2020 Update

My most recent finish is another piece from Festive Fobs. I stitched another basket motif. I plan to finish this one as a humbug. Hope to do the finishing this weekend.

                                 

                                                  

I worked some on Portrait in Red. This is my current progress.

                                       

I pulled out Blackbird Design's Moonlit Garden. I started this sometime ago. It will serve as my WIP and Seasonal piece until it's done. Hoping what's left will go quickly.

                                         

I've plans for 2 new starts. First off is Halloween 2020 Mix and Match and second is Fright Night. Both of these are SALs with Fat Quarter Shop. The official start date for Mix and Match is tomorrow the 1 Oct. but I got a jump start on my border. The fabric is a 28ct Charles Craft Antique White that I Rit dyed.
