Wishing You a Stitchy Witchy Halloween

In honor of Halloween here are some photos of some holiday stitching.  These are all done in needlepoint. . . and truly indulge in all sorts of fun fibers.

First, a truly frightful witch  - front and back -. . . . stitched then folded origami style to create the head and hat.  Don't you LOVE the purple skin and sickly green hair?




My trio of beautiful potted witches:


And two not at all frightful Halloween angels:


Aren't they fun?  My Halloween resolution this year is to finish several other Halloween projects in time for NEXT year!

  2. I don't remember the exact procedure. . . it was an origami kind of technique and was explained step by step in the project directions. The whole project is from Needlepoint Now magazine. . . not sure which volume. It was a really fun project!
