Halloween Skull - Complete

I put the finishing stitches into this Saturday evening while watching, I think, Georgia and South Carolina. I will make a second one, but first I want to get back into 12 Days. I also have Ornaments to make for my office. Last year they got the Partridge in the Pear Tree. This year - Two Turtle Doves.

Halloween Skull - Update 3

Not too much to report. I did get some filled in and I am now on the last (actually first) page to complete.

Halloween Skull - Update 2

Moving right along. Football season has helped - since I am planted in front of the TV watching the games anyway, I may as well stitch. Unlike Hockey and Basketball, Football does not take constant attention in order to follow the game.

At this rate, there may not be a third update, just a finished one. And I will be making this one again - my boss has requested one, too.

Halloween Skull - Update 1

Ever since I got my copy of the Just Cross Stitch Halloween 2014 magazine, I have not been able to stop thinking about getting several of the patterns in here finished. Therefore, I have put down 12 Days for a bit and have really delved into the Halloween Skull pattern by Alessandra Beretta of Alessandra Adelaide Needleworks. The colors remind me, for those of you who remember such things, of Dynamints, specifically the variety pack. Google it.

Anyway, during a trip to JoAnn's I was lucky enough to come across some 22 count Hardinger fabric, 18X15, for a buck each. I bought all 13 they had. And I started making the Skull.

I am doing 2 over 1 on the 22 count, and it seems to be flowing very well. I want to say I started this project on the weekend of August 16/17. So this is just over 2 weeks in.
