Over the next couple weeks, I thought I would do several blog posts featuring my new designs being released at the TNNA Fall Needlecraft Market. This fun Halloween design is item BRD-101 and is titled "Moonlit Midnight". The models are stitched on 32-count Tundra hand-dyed fabric from Lakeside Linens with Weeks Dye Works cotton floss. This whimsical piece is perfect for taking sections and making Halloween ornaments, needlework smalls, and holiday decorations! The chartpack contains charting for the sampler and needlework smalls shown below, stitching instructions, and complete finishing instructions for the ornaments/fobs and pins/magnets. I had a lot of fun working on the small pieces; the ornaments/fobs are made with 2" Finishing Forms by Flying Needles (http://www.flyingneedlestx.com/)...and the pins/magnets are made with Half Ball Cover Buttons by Dritz (http://www.dritz.com/) mounted on cotton fabric yo-yos....the chartpack gives you easy step-by-step instructions for making each! I will be posting all the specifics and a complete supply list on my website in the next couple weeks...and stay tuned for feature posts on two more new designs coming out in mid-August...
I love the yo-yo background idea. I always think I will do your designs as smalls but generally the large project wins out. -Taffy
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it!! One of the reasons I love your designs so much is that I can make so many items from just one chart. Halloween is a favourite for me and this one is a winner!
ReplyDeleteI love the bat square in this design and will have to stitch it for my niece who loves bats! Love your yo-yo finishing technique!

Love these designs! Those yo-yos are so cute!
ReplyDeleteAnother too cute design. I love the ghosts floating past the window with their jack o'lanterns.
