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.  

Roofing on Sunday

This is the roof of the fifth house. I outlined the black with three strands of silk.   The fern stitch on the lower right is from the guide.  The upper shingle is my idea.  I think I will stick with the guide.  That Amy knows her business!

Did She Really Start Something New???

Yes, she did.  It's called Let the Earth Be Glad by Diane Ulmer Pedersen from Painted Pony Needlepoint Designs.  I bought it at The Needle Works and took it to Amy's.  This beautiful sky stitch is a slanted brick using two strands of Dinky Dyes overdyed silk was recommended by Amy Bunger.  Perfection!
