Good morning!
I am so excited to share the next mason jar in the Chalkfull series! This is a chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Cathy at Hands On Design ..
Boo is a vintage blue mason jar filled with Jack O Lanterns!
The small piece is Boo with the cutest Jack O Lantern
Harvest was the first in the series and I have seen so many of you stitching and finishing it!
Mine is stitched on 28 count black evenweave .. with the called for floss colors
Ti finish the small I used the same enamel bucket from Hobby Lobby .. Mounted it an oval on sticky board with 2 layers pf batting underneath . I added Vintage trim ( ric rac ) from Lori Holt /Riley Blake . I ripped 2 pieces of Halloween plaid homespun and gathered them and glued around the edge. I added a buffalo check Halloween bow using a pipe cleaner to attach to the handle with a rusty Jack o Lantern jingle bell for an extra little added touch ..
For the jar finishing .. I used the enamel stand from Hobby Lobby .. I mounted it on sticky board ,, and then also mounted orange and black checks and black gingham on pieces of sticky board .
For the topper I used 2 ribbons .. One black ticking stripe and the Halloween buffalo check . To the center of that I added a circle that I cut from sticky board and added 2 layers of batting , and gathered orange and black check fabric to make a cute stand up ruffle around the edge .I then added a wooden Jack O Lantern that I chalk painted off white and distressed with glaze...
Here is the chalkboard that hung in my home last Halloween ..It's amazing the transformation from chalk to stitching isn't it ?
Thanks so much for stopping by ! Hope you all Love it!

I had stitched the June Square danceand used this Buffalo check tin from Hobby Lobby and all of the square dance charts will be attached to this tin ..
I made some color changes .. I used all Classic Colorworks floss in the colors of .. RainShower , Black Coffee, Muddy Puddle , Queen Bee, Bamboo.. I mounted it on sticky board with batting underneath then mounted yellow plaid fabric to sticky board .. Glued the two pieces together and added a buffalo check bow .. a sunflower with a covered button and a Little bee..magnets and washers attach it to the tin..
I didn't use the buttons that come in the chart but instead made little bees .. I also changed the shape of the 2nd from the right bee skep .. this only took a couple hours to stitch ..and is so cute!

Ho Ho Ho!
and last from Heart In Hand Needleart All is Calm .. I decided to stitch it for my chalkboard tree so I stitched it on black 28 count evenweave .. I used Gentle arts Chalk .. and Classic colorworks in Holly Jolly , Steamed Broccoli , cocoa bean and Licorice Red .. I changed up a lot of the design and I love it .. It only took me a couple hours to stitch .
To finish it I mounted it on sticky board with batting underneath ( I did that on all of these ornaments) I used torn red gingham to make a tight ruffle around the ornament and added a buffalo check bow .. a covered button and some berry sprigs in white
I really am enjoying Jolly July .. and i hope you are stitching along with us! I'm seeing lots of the #fqsjollyjuly hashtags on Instagram and Facebook!
