Hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher
This SAL is designed to motivate us all to do something with that box of Finished pieces instead of just storing them under the bed. We will all be linking up on Rachel's blog on or after the 10th of each month (10 Hour Stitcher - 10th of the month).
I've got two FFO's to share this month, both Halloween themed.
The first is the Couer de Sorciere from TraLaLa which I finished into a primitive heart shaped pillow:
I just mounted each piece around card and used double sided tape to stick them to the wooden pumpkin.
Here's the back, which is a piece of fabric from a sample book I was given. It's expensive stuff - £75 a metre!
Slightly cheaper was this pumpkin shape from The Works! It was raw wood which I painted using some watered down acrylic paints. Start with bright orange and add black until it looks right then brush it on as a wash:
The designs are the Halloween Trifles from Shepherd's Bush with my own charms added.
I seem to have run out of spiders so used this web charm instead.
Finally, I finished little Miguel le Camelion but not FFO'd him so you'll see him for GG and then FFO'd in December.
