WIPocalypse!

I can see light at the end of the tunnel! A long, long time ago I've started SAL with many other lovely stitchers, we were stitching Halloween House. I think everybody is done with their project a while ago - mine is still dragging...

After I finished Spooky Welcome I grabbed my HH and went on stitching. I wanted so bad to have finish during this WIPocalypse and I almost made it
See? I just have to finish the border, a little bit to the right and a little bit down on the right. Then it will be all done! Then I can say goodby to Halloween stuff for a while, at least to the end of the year.

This month’s topic is:  What are your favorite and least favorite materials to use in your stitching?

Well, let me tell you - I love stitching on linen. A long time ago I did not like it - it was to soft, counting was difficult but now I feel same about aida - it's to stiff, the wholes are to big... it's funny how my taste has changed. I love stitching with silk floss but I do not mind stitching with other brands except the Glow in the Dark - do not like that one at all. Oh, and I love my Q-snaps! And I think that will be all...

So long my friends,
Evalina

  2. Love that Halloween design! You are almost there. OK here goes-I too ,like to stitch on linen. Right now I am on a Lakeside Lined kick. I don't like the metallic threads. They can make a piece look cute but I find them very hard to work with.

  8. This looks so wonderful on the fabric your stitching it on. I keep having mixed feelings about stitching on adia. Right now I do like it. It irons out very well for me and yet I love stitching on linen too. I have a few different wips and its such a mix of adia, linen, then there are the threads - DMC, over hand dyed and who doesn't love silks!!!
    love Annette
