Quaker Tombie

At last a tombie cross stitch for those who love Quakers. This is from Michelle Ink and is titled Quaker Gone Spooky. I am not a huge Quaker fan, but I do like this one.

For those who like skulls

Here is Skull Duggery from X's and Oh's. I'm not sure if this is a new design or an older one, I just came across it a few days ago.

Another Raven

I have found another raven design. This is Bird of Lore from Michelle Ink Needlework Designs.  Poe fans and raven fans will both like this piece.

Ichabod Seabury

This tombie is another great chart from Primitive Needle.

The Raven

I just finished this on Saturday evening. I used all HDF silks, it's on a teal linen.

You'll Love This Gloomy

This wonderful new gloomy from Cherished Stitches is called The Undertaker! I wonder just how soon I can stitch it.

Rotted Not Forgotted tombie

Here is my stitched Rotted Not Forgotted design from the 2012 JCS Hallowe'en magazine. The design is by Plum Street Samplers. It is a very popular design, I've talked to many people who bought the magazine just for this little tombie! 

Gloomy Welcome

I love this new design from Designs by Lisa.  It is appropriately titled A Vulture's Welcome. The spider button is included with the chart.

Plum Street Samplers Retiring Several Tombies

5 designs in the Exhumeplary Collection from Plum Street Samplers are being retired.  Some of these are already getting hard to find. The tombies being retired are Eliza Pennance, Tillie Figg, Amos Figg, Jane Withers, and Emma Nettles.

An Adaptation Tombie

I saw this great ornament in the 2012 JCS Halloween ornament that I saw could be easily adapted to a great tombie.  I'm not entirely happy with the angel on the tombstone, I may rework it. I stitched this with HDF Begrimed silk floss and I love the way that it looks.

Churchyard tombstones

Here is a tombie that isn't very gloomy.  It will appeal to those who don't even like tombies.  It's called Old Stone Church by Elizabeth's Designs.  I think it's very peaceful looking.

An older tombie

I had completely forgotten about this gloomy tombie until I saw it on eBay the other day.  This chart is apparently still available. The designer is Primitive Needleworks. I like the fish skeleton.

Online Needlework Show Spring 2012

-is now open.  I don't know if they have any new tombies or gloomies, but I'm off to look.

If you are unfamiliar with this you can find it at Needlework Show

Have fun shopping!

New Prairie Moon

This new gloomy is from Prairie Moon and it's called House that Jack Built II. I love all the skulls.

Hannah Picket tombie

This is an older tombie from Sampler Girl called Hannah Picket. I don't really know that much about it. It looks like it would stitch up quickly.

A tombie from Hinzeit

With tombstones like " Lost Interest" and "Started and Forgotten" this is is a great tombie for all of us stitchers.  Even those who don't like most tombies will like this one. It looks like there are some charms included with the chart.

Yet Another Raven

I seem to be attracted to designs with ravens in them lately.

Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust is what this tombie from Carriage House Samplings says. This is not a great picture of Curse of the Raven, but it is a great tombie.
