July: Haunted House from the Side Panel of "Halloween Days sewing basket" by Simona Bussiglieri of Mani Di Donna on page 89 from JCS Halloween Ornament Magazine 2015.
August: Halloween Cats - freebie from Kreinik, which you can find here.
I am very pleased with my finishing on both of these cushions. I think that maybe I am finally getting the hang of creating a nice finish.
TraderVic keeps asking me why there is so much stuff in my sewing room but, of course it is full of my stash so that I can always put my hand on the perfect fabbie or ribbons or buttons or beads for finishing. For my haunted house I found some gorgeous reproduction fabric in different shades of lilac and the perfect ribbon - do you like the pretty little purple bow underneath the haunted house?
Furio approves....
I love the ghost kitty and do you see how Furio has snuck onto the top of the right column and Milo has crept underneath the ghost cat?
I finished it with little black cats on a ribbon.
And the bottom and backing fabric is black kitties on black!
For both of these designs I used overdyed 28 count fabric from my stash, plus various DMC and specialty threads which I chose myself.

Beautiful finishes! Awesome Halloween stitching. Can't wait to see what you stitch up for next month! :D
They both look fantastic, great finishes! I think I might have to make the cats, they are too cute!
The finishing bug seems to have bittgen you, lol. Both little pillows are gorgeous.
I went to save the Halloween cats freebie (how could I resist that) and here I already have it! I think that may be a sign to stitch it if I like it so much I save it twice. :) Your finishes look great, especially the kitties. That little ribbon and fabric is so perfect for that piece!
Beautiful stitching.xox
