Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 43

 

Welcome to Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 43

I have completed the stitching October Cross Stitch Along!

I have pulled fabrics and have a plan

 for how I want to finish and display this next October.  

I completed the stitching on last block late on Halloween night.

 I have been enjoying this for a few days while I have decided that a few on my stitches need to be fixed before finishing. There is a letter in "Brew" that somehow got messed up while I was working on this that needs replacing. I have also decided that the colored lettering on my Monster Mash improv block needs to be in black like the rest of the lettering. I was trying to add a little color.  I am thinking of outlining the mummy and the skeleton to make them stand out better. This was the last block finished on Sunday night and my eyes were tired.

I loved participating in this SAL which was hosted by 

Pine Needles

The free daily patterns have gone *poof*

 as they will soon become a pattern for purchase.

Last year the steps to this Christmas Stitch Along 

were also free daily blocks and I saved them. 

 I did not have time to stitch this last year.

This year I am thinking to start it now in November

 in hopes I get it done before Christmas.

I have the floss pack and aida in my stash.

I am trying to decide which aida to use.

They are all 11 count:

Choice A : Zweigart  solid Ivory

Choice B:  hand dyed Antiqued

Choice C: hand dyed seafoam green 

I purchased the hand dyes online @ Garibaldi's Needleworks

The Misty Grey in my October Cross Stich is also hand dyed 11 count aida from Garibald's.   I like the soft feel of this cloth.

Which color aida cloth would you choose?

What are you working on this week?
