Halloween Trick or Treat Blog Hop

Spooky time 👻👻👻

Jo from Serendipitous Stitching  has organised another fun hop around our blogs to see our Spooky stitching, find some Spooky letters and jump to the next Spooky blog 😱

Once you have discovered the Spooky Phrase hop over to Jo's blog and leave it in a comment for a chance to win a prize 😈

My Halloween stitching is all from a few years ago as I haven't done much lately, although this year I have for Needlecraft Haven Halloween Exchange. I can share the photos for that tomorrow after I know my partner has opened hers and hopefully mine arrives as it's not here yet :-)

2013 Exchange
2008 Exchange
Stitched for Michael
Stitched for Philippa

They are all stitched on perforated card, I quite like using it as it for ornaments when stitching characters. I backed both designs with felt, the tricky bit is always the cutting around. 

Here's my Spooky letter for Halloween Trick or Treat Blog Hop

Now you have my letter it's time to spread your bat wings or witches cape and fly over to 



As you know I love to change my mantle and sideboard for various times of year, Halloween is no exception although now our children are grown ups my decorations are mainly my candle holders and ornaments on a more autumn theme than being spooky. I have a few mini pumpkins this year too which I'll be baking soon.



Happy Halloween to you all -I hope you have fun with plenty of treats.

I love all your Halloween stitches, such fun! I think the cat with the pumpkins is my favourite.
Your ceramic pumpkins are sweet, I haven't seen those before.

I'm haunting my way through collecting letters. I love your past finishes. Too cute. I enjoy stitching on perforated paper too. Love your display. We have a mix of fall and Halloween here in our home. Hope you had a Happy Halloween.

I'm a little afraid of perforated paper since I'm a violent stitcher haha. Perforated plastic is safe though! Love your past stitchings and rickrack for hanging them. And the little pumpkin houses! Thank you for the letter and hope you had a Happy Halloween~
