WIP Jenny Bean Halloween...need tip on thread sorting


I'm going to stitch this wonderful sampler.

Its a great piece not just for Halloween.

 

Here's my fabric and threads.

The threads on the left I had no problem with.

Nightmare, Dried Blood, and Sarcophagus were pretty easy to tell.



 








These were the ones I can't figure out.

They are: Coffin Lid, Witch's Wort, Swamp Water,

Zombie Flesh and Burial Ground

yet they all look so much alike.

Scarlett Letter SAL project: Ann Kirby progress




I stitched the eyelet border top and sides to establish my boundary. I found it easier to count then the vine.  I changed the colour of the berries to the darker shade of pink since the Ivory didn’t show up well.


I still used the Ivory for the name part even tho' it doesn't show up well.

I will finish the year when I finish the sampler. Hopefully it will be in this decade.

Class with Ellen Chester from With My Needle Designs


Two wonderful days we had. A wonderful person as well as a great teacher. If you ever get the chance, do take one of her classes. You will not regret it!


I took the Needleworker's Sampler Huswife class. I just love how she assembles her kits. She has everything you need in them plus has these cute hornbook thread holders all labeled and strung in advance for you. I am about half way thru mine and it is a pleasure to stitch. I can't decide if I am going to frame it or make it into the huswife. Guess I'll come to that conclusion upon completion.
