Yes, I'm back with another new start! Obviously not satisfied with the other new projects already on my frames I couldn't resist the pull of this one too. I've had the chart for a few years and am so happy to have finally made a start. Here's my first 10 hours of progress, which I actually completed in January but am only now posting about:
Stitched on 16ct cream aida 2 over 1
Started - 25th January 2019
And a reminder of the finished piece:
I must admit I was tempted into stitching all the black first but, knowing that lighter colours can pick up some of the black dye, I opted to stitch the colours first then fill in the black afterwards. So far so good, and when I eventually get to the hill, stitching all that black will make for hours of mindless no-counting fun!
This will be the last of my new starts for now. There's one more that's on my have-to-stitch-this-year list (Haunted Library by Mill Hill) but I think this one, along with Hogwarts and Parrot on Parade are enough to be getting on with for now.
Take care,
Rachel x

Looking good! It's amazing how much you can get done in 10 hours.
Love this one. Don't blame you for wanting to start it. Can't wait to watch the ones you picked to focus on grow.
You find the best Halloween pieces. Love this one too. It's stitching up a treat...get it LOL!

Oh I am SO glad to see this one started! You made lots of progress on your first round and it looks great! Can't wait to see more of it. :)
Nice Halloween chart love that owl happy stitching
Love this one!! I loved seeing Heather (confetti stitcher) finish these a few years ago. I don't think I ever bought the chart, but I should, I love how each colour is subtly different.
What a great start, this will be fun to see it coming together!
I am loving this new start. I can’t wait to watch it glow.
Ooh, I remember putting this one on my wish list years ago, but somehow completely forgot about it. Do you only have the one? If I recall correctly, where were a couple of them in different colours, weren't there? Anyways, great start!
Nice start. I liked these when Heather stitched them. She only does Flosstube now unfortunately.
