The Reveal....

I am just so happy with my decision for a finish on Halloween Cove. I decided to go with a Tombstone finish. I told hubby what I envisioned and he cut it out for me. I painted it grey and mounted my stitching on it. I added some spiders and ghosts to make it festive :) I cannot wait to display this for Halloween this year !! I will have to hide it as I have several people that are going to try and steal it when they see it :) :)
I just love how it turned out and it was so much fun from START to FINISH :)
Thanks for letting me share it and your enthusiasm about how I was going to finish it :) You're the bestest!!







Design: Halloween Cove
Designer: By The Bay Needleart
Fabric: 28ct. Haunted
Fibers: WDW, GAST and DMC

Wonderful! :D Good job from your Hubby, too!

About you last post, PS is "the comfort food of stitching". I read that on a blog once and it so stuck in my mind. I love it!

I have to ask, will you consider sharing your Valentine's display with us? I haven't felt excited about that holiday yet, but when I saw your bits in the background it suddenly felt like fun!

Your wire "feather tree" is so cute, and I love that box with the homespun ribbon and key every time I see it--Myra has one too and it is a joy to see them as props in photos to me. :D

Nan said...

Cutie, Cute, Cute! What a great finishing idea. I can see why you'll have to hide it.
