Hex Symbol Easel Finishing Class


In October, I attended a finishing class at The Counted Needle in Bloomington, IL.  The project was to make an easel for needlework so you can make items to be displayed on a fireplace, dresser or other flat surface.  In my case, that is a great solution to being out of wall space.  Also saves the cost of framing.  The class was taught by Sue Hillis and was a lot of fun.

By the Light of the Moon


By the Light of the Moon was a freebie from The Primitive Needle.  If I had it to do over, I would use the Weeks Dye Works colors.  There was not quite enough contrast in the witch and witch face.using the DMC equivalents that I used.  But it was fun and I liked the design.  I also framed it myself using a Mill Hill frame.  It was done on 28 count raw linen by Zweigart.  This linen is a bit uneven in the weave.   And by the way, I am 359 days early for Halloween of 2013.  :-)
