Halloween House Row

I am certainly skipping around on projects around here.   I put the Halloween House Row from Melissa Shirley back on the stand.  I am using a stitch guide that is available from Amy Bunger.  It's so fun to stitch.  

Roof of House #3

 The background stitch is Alternating Stones.  I am using one strand of silk.  It is perfect for this canvas.

I stitched the stones leading to the houses and filled in the grass.  I am using three strands of Dinky Dyes in the Cobblestone stitch.  Pretty cute!

The stones for House #5 were a bit different.  The guide calls for a different thread but I goofed and used the wrong one.  I'm not sure it's worth taking out and redoing.  

Saturday Night Status Report

I have been stitching on Halloween House Row.  Here’s where we stand late Saturday night!

Farming at Martha and George's

I am making some progress on Martha and George.  I finished the dark olive hill in the Donohue stitch.

I started on the right side of the hill in the Diane's Coat stitch.  I am using three strands of silk. 

Gold hill

I finished the beach in Cobblestone using four strands of cotton.

I finished Martha's very elegant skirt in the Brighton stitch.

I am still thinking about stitching over the whale as Tony suggested.  I might keep him up front.
