Just finished this week, the Halloween SAL designed by Love Thy Thread. A bit late for this year, so we'll consider it early for next Halloween ;)

Image

Stitched on a dusty dark purplish mystery 28 count evernweave I got on ebay last year, with DMC 51 and 310.

Next on my frame was Nora Corbett's Sweet Pea. This one has a very big dress and a lot of beads for such a small pixie, but I powered through it and here she is:

Image

Stitched on 32 count opal evenweave Silkweaver solo, a light mauve. To be honest it was not a fun fabric to stitch on: it's very thick, and feels a bit like a jobelan that's been starched. The threads kept splitting so it was a bit hard to find the right hole sometimes.

And finally, last but not least in today's news, here is a gorgeous piece of fabby:

Image

Isn't it gorgeous? This is the December 2012 Limited Edition that was sent only to Sparklies' FOM club members. I saw it in real life in a friend's stash and it was just the perfect fit for the next project I had in mind, so I contacted Kate from Sparklies and she very nicely made a new one for me.

Nice choice of thread on that Halloween project!
Its always nice to see how a variegated thread will stitch up. So hard to tell when its in the skein.

Enjoy your new start with Persephone.

My first HAED finish :dance: :dance:

Here is QS Mystic Garden, artwork by Ciro Marchetti, charted by HAED.
Stitched 2 over 1 tent on 28 count. I added one row of black stitches all around to make it look more "finished".
