I got my JCS Halloween issue in the mail yesterday and have to say that I am pretty impressed with the Halloween designs (the other designs in the issue, not so much). I’ll definitely be stitching “Boo Moon” by Val’s Stuff, “Fraidy Frog” by Just Nan, and “Halloween Manor” by Fanci That. I will probably also stitch “Autumn Stars” by Blackbird Designs, “Happy Owl-O-Ween” by Ladybug Lane Designs, and “Happy Jack” by Knotted Tree Needlearts. I am also considering “RIP’s Girl” by Charlette’s Collectibles, but if I do it I will do it on fabric, not plastic canvas.
In other news, I finished Brittercup Designs “Kitty w/Frog” from Britty Kitties I tonight. I am a little perturbed because the Weeks Dye Works Onyx bled a little bit when I dampened the fabric to press it. I know that I soaked the thread when I got it, but I guess I must not have rinsed it enough times. I doubt it is noticeable to anyone but me anyway…
