"Old Haunts" PinKeep/Pillow!

I just finished up a new cross-stitch design for a sweet little Halloween/autumn piece I've called "Old Haunts." The pattern is now available at my site, Hannah's PinKeep. And, the finished model is up for sale also, at Autumn Comforts. I think it turned out pretty cute, and I hope you do as well! :-)



I stitched up the model on Belfast "Dirty" 32-ct. linen in 2 over 2, using 4 colors of hand-dyed flosses from The Gentle Art. This was my first experience with flosses other than good ol' DMC, and I love the way these hand-dyed flosses look for primitive projects! The variations in color depth are amazing and gave this little keep a more muted, aged, "organic" look. I hope you'll check out both the pattern (which can be purchased either as just the pattern, or as a "kit" that includes the flosses and fabrics also) and the finished piece and consider adding one of them to your own collection. Happy Halloween! :-)
