Halloween Hoopla!

Good morning!
Here is a little Halloween Hoopla to start your Friday off!
This Is from With Thy Needle and Thread .. Halloween Hoopla
***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

Calvin is a little upset there is no cat with the witch :) I stitched it on 28 count evenweave that was dyed with grey Rit dye then coffee tea dyed ... I used Classic Colorworks floss in the colors .. Eggshell, Black Coffee , Colonial Copper , Honeycomb , Pea Pod , Perfect Pie crust , and Plum Paisley , I made the broom per instructions on the chart but didn't use a ruler to wrap the floss .. I just wrapped it around a couple fingers ..
I have finished the other Hoopla's Square but I wanted this one round as an ornament for my Halloween tree. ..so I mounted the stitching on sticky board with 2 layers of batting underneath . I mounted homespun black checks on a bigger round piece of sticky board . Then I added a very thick ruffle of Halloween homespun all around the ornament .. I used Halloween Striped ribbon for the hanger and orange and black polka dots for the bow . and to make Calvin happy a little black cat with candy corn picks for the topper .. A big orange Jack o Lantern jingle bell hangs from the bottom


Thanks so much for stopping by!
