Better ghosts than zombies.  LOL.

It’s almost Halloween, where did the time go?  We needed a fun and easy Halloween canvas to usher in the holiday.  Our current Mystery Class is just that!  The Ghost Collage.  It isn’t too big, and it’s stitched on 13ct.  How’s that for something different?  Yesterday was our first class and it was super fun.

Since it is my usual MO we focused on the background first.  It’s so much easier to count through naked canvas and it allows us to build all the details up on top of the background.

So far all of the threads are the “use as is” variety.  Vineyard, Pepperpot, Silk Lamé Braid and Petite Frosty Rays.  We’re keeping it easy.  Now I can’t guarantee that I won’t use something that needs to be laid before the project is over.  And, I can’t guarantee there won’t be a twist or a turn.  You know how I roll.  But for now we’re keeping it easy.

The moon is one giant glowing eyelet!  The black background sparkles.

I love the trees, quick to stitch Outline Stitches with Petite Frosty Rays make the trees dimensional and fun.

We have canvases in stock if you want a quick pick-me-up gift to yourself.  Here’s the link or give us a call at 410.296.0405.  There are two lessons to this mystery.  The second lesson will be November 4th.

And wait until you see the matching magnet!  IT GLOWS IN THE DARK!!

See you soon.
