~Black Cat & Jack~ stitchery paddle

Well, I have been hold up in my house with the AC going full blast the past few day stitching! Here are 2 new designs that I came up with. This cute little paddle is a stitchery of a black cat sitting on a Jack O'Lantern with the date Oct. 31st and 2 stars above. I did my stitching on coffee dyed osnaburg and then attached it with an acid free adhesive spray to this little wood paddle. The paddle is pretty distressed looking with white and black paint and some of the natural wood showing too. I tied dark twine around the handle with rusty bells and an aged prim tag the reads "A Jolly Halloween". There is a nail hole in the handle so you can hang it or you can just lean it on a shelf or set it up in a cupboard. It measures 6"wide across and 10 1/2" from the top of handle to the bottom.

~Black Crow Hollow ~Stitchery

Here is a stitchery that I think you can use for your Fall and Halloween decorating. I designed and stitched this big old black crow and his pumpkins on coffee dyed osnaburg. Please note that the fabric is darker than the photo. 'Oct. 31' is stitched at the bottom with 'Black Crow Hollow' at the top. I used a black frame that measures 7" wide x 14" long, there is glass and sawtooth hanger. This larger stitchery will look great on a narrow wall in your home.
SOLD Thank You

White Pumpkin Stitchery Pillow

It has been ages since I stitched up a stitchery pillow. Sue and I use to do them all the time for shows. This pillow is so sweet, very plain and simple. I stitched a white pumpkin and surrounded it with a brown grapevine and tiny mustard berries. It was stitched on osnaburg, coffee dyed and then I sewed strips of dark chocolate brown fabric that has small mustard leaves. It it backed with osnaburg and stuffed with polyfil. The measurements are about 10"x 10". A nice size Autumn pillow for a chair or rocker.

Hallows Eve Wool Comb paddle stitchery


Here is another one of those wonderful sheep wool combs. It is the same as the one I used on a needle punch earlier this summer. I stitched up a little "Hallows Eve" stitchery on coffee dyed onsaburg for this comb. I have a Jack O Lantern and Black Cat along with some tiny "x's". I attached the stitchery with self adhesive fabric spray. Around the handle is rusty wire and bells. The back of the comb reads "Old Whittemore Patent No 8 Wool,L>S. Watson & Co, Leicester Mass." Overall measurements are 9" wide x 8 3/4" from top to bottom. A fun piece for your Halloween displays.
