I think most people are familiar with Durene Jones' patterns. Many of them are small, but often time-consuming because of the colour changes and backstitch. They're so fun though, and I've stitched several of them. One of my favourite finishes was the Halloween bat, which I think was a freebie from her Facebook group.
See? So cute, but lots of colour changes to give it that look. Very worthwhile though.
Today's project is a sort of small like this one where it's full coverage in a smallish design. However, since it's full coverage with a decent amount of backstitch, it will take a while. Eventually it will look like this:
And I found a fun Halloween style fabric scrap I'm going to use for this one, and I've finished one colour so far.

These patterns will go in Pattern Keeper. What you need to do is select only the pattern you'd like to stitch and not the other 3 that come with this one. I purchased this from Durene Jones' Etsy site and there are 3 other characters that might get stitched at some point. This was my favourite one, even with all the backstitch!
I don't know if I can make this into a Halloween finish, but there's always a chance. For now it's back in the big box of WIPs that I've kept separate from all my other WIPs.
Hope your stitching days have been favourable!
Happy Stitching,

That's a cute one and such a fun fabric! I got a lot of her freebies saved away as well.
ReplyDeleteShe has so many fun ones! But they are somewhat stitch/colour intensive.
