Remember this?
I shared about this skeleton stitchery in this post.
I finally have the my second version finished…plenty of time for Halloween.
Next year.
Have fun and carry on!

I took a second stitchery project to work on while traveling to the east coast and back. The idea was to stitch it and leave it with my daughter.
Needless to say, I didn’t work on it much until I got back home.
I purchased the skeleton design some time ago from Patterns and Stitches on Etsy. I don’t see it there now, but I do see lots of fun skeleton stitchery designs on Etsy.
The following is the photo of the skeleton hoop design on the pattern cover.
I have finished my version and it looks like the following:
The Hubster is taking this one to the post office as I write this, so our daughter will have it soon.
I already have a second version in the works. It will also be on a black background. I know you can’t see it, but the eyes and nose are stitched. Black on black. I looked for a very dark grey in my stash, but didn’t have one.
And the floral colors are a little off in the photo, as least by my monitor, but close enough for you to get the idea.
For the curious, I used 12wt. Aurifil for my stitching. Just because I can.
Have fun and carry on!

I inherited a cute little cabinet from my Mom, and I wanted to make a seasonal table topper for it.
A Prairie Journey by Kathleen Tracy features sweet mini quilts. Kathleen uses reproduction fabrics to make her minis.
*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!
Since I wanted a seasonal table topper, I chose to make my version in orange, black and white.
I have lots of scraps cut into 1-1/2″ strips and this mini is a fun way to use them!
My mini version measures about 15-1/2″ x 17-1/2″.
Have fun and carry on!
