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!
