Needlecraft Haven's Halloween Exchange was great fun with gorgeous ornaments stitched by all. My partner to send to was Christine and when I saw the black cat by Durene Jones in Just Cross Stitch Halloween magazine 2018 I knew it was perfect.
For my birthday in September Christine had kindly given me some Pumpkin Patch hand dyed fabric from Sparklies - perfect for her cat!
I struggled to find a Halloween card but our visit to a National Trust property on our way home from holiday had the perfect one.

Unfortunately my exchange parcel did not arrive in time for Halloween and as we have been away for the weekend I didn't receive it until yesterday. Dusty stitched me a lovely ornament with button eyes and a spider charm. She also sent a great card, Halloween kitchen towel and a butterfly threader - thank you Dusty.

I have a few more gifts to stitch for this month and next and Needlecraft Haven's Christmas Ornament Exchange to do so I will only be able to share these photos as the relevant dates occur. I will however soon be posting about my tree at church - this year I have not stitched ornaments but they are still crafty .... all will be revealed soon!

What a cute piece you stitched for the exchange, Clare! That fabric is perfect for it, too. Glad you were able to locate a Halloween card, too. And what a nice piece from Dusty! Hope your November is off to a good start!
I love my ornament Clare! The one you received from Dusty is gorgeous too
The cat in the round is gorgeous, a perfect gift for Christine.
Nice parcel from Dusty that arrived safely with you.
Both Halloween pieces are great, what a fun exchange! That fabric is perfect for the cat.
That was a great exchange. The cat design is perfect for Christine and I love the card you sent too.
Lovely stitching, and both great sets of exchange items x
