Summer start number 4 sees me keeping with autumn colours but moving on to a Halloween theme. This week I chose Scaredy Cats by JBW Designs. Obviously block stitching makes for rapid progress so this was my achievement over the weekend:
Stitched on 16ct Mushroom over-dyed aida by sewitall.com
Stitch count 151 wide by 33 high
Stitched with DMC variegated 51 and black
Stitching time to date - 4 hours 50 minutes
The finished design will look like this:
The DMC Colour Variation thread I originally chose was a bit too autumn-y rather than Halloween-y (not surprising considering it was called Fall Harvest!) so I swapped it for the darker half of DMC variegated 51 Burnt Orange. Much better for giving that fiery-look I wanted.
After seeing me tease this as a new start, Shebafudge started her version. She's using similar thread colours (we both agreed the cats should definitely be black) but on a gorgeous spooky purple-y fabric.
Finally, there's still plenty of time to enter the FFG SAL in the post below this one. Go on, fully-finish off a UFO or two... you know you want to!!
Take care,

La penso anch'io come te ,i gatti stanno meglio di colore nero.
Buon lavoro 😄
I stitched this one too, in very similar colors to yours. It's a fun stitch! Yours looks great!
Okay I really love this one! Love the colors you are using. I agree on the black cats. Cute Cute Cute!!!
That looks great Rachel and I love that you changed the cats to black!
Another one that I'm looking forward to seeing finished soon! I love the colors you're using--Halloween cats should always be black!
I love the variegated colour you chose, it looks great with the black cats! I think this is one I might have to stitch... one of these years.
Ooo lovely. I like how you changed the cat colour to black too; much more appropriate for Hallowe'en
Oh, that's an awesome new start! I fully agree, those cats have no business being orange...they need to be black!
Oh, I love the changes, very cool! Off to check out Shebafudge's as well.
I love this design! Why don't I have this chart already?
Looks great, love the black cats.
