SPOILER!! Lizzie*Kate Frightful parts 1 & 2 completed


Part 2 of the Frightful Mystery Sampler arrived last Tuesday, so I couldn't resist stitching it right away! The fabric is PTP Cauldron Belfast, and while the floss colors are similar to what is called for for the most part, I am taking a few liberties so this isn't exactly what the design will look like if stitched as charted:


Now it's back to "work" until the third and final part is released mid-September; I might even be able to have this framed in time for Halloween...

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!

Miss Honey Bee

Back when I received the models for Miss Honey Bee and Miss Queen Bee my first thought was how cute they would look on Berkshire Hive fabric by Fabric Flair. I ordered a fat quarter (which is enough for both designs) and put it aside, and I was able to start Miss Honey Bee for myself as soon as I received the chart, so here she is completed:




I love how she turned out, and look forward to stitching Miss Queen Bee when I get some more time.

Last night I finished a Tempting Tangles "Quakers In..." model, so now I'm going to work on one for Rosewood Manor that I hope to finish within six to eight weeks; then I have a Mirabilia that's due in December, so I guess I have the rest of my stitching year pretty much mapped out--yikes! I think part 2 of Lizzie*Kate's Frightful will arrive today, so I'll probably work on that a bit every few days.

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!
