This is a blog for all the wonderful dark, gloomy, slightly macabre cross stitch designs that are out there. Although most of the designs would make great Hallowe'en pieces, this is not a blog for those patterns that are only about Hallowe'en. Please let us know if you have a design you would like to see on this blog. Please share your finishes with us also.

Tombstone Monkeys
A humorous new tombie from Ink Circles, Tombstone Monkeys is a fantastic adaption of the tradition monkeys who hear, see, and speak no evil. This is a cute warning to those who did!

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.

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.

Great older pattern
This is a wonderful smaller pattern from Carriage House Samplings called Tiny Tombstones. It's one of the first tombie designs that I ever saw and one of the ones that got me hooked on tombies.

Just Caught my Eye
I just found this new tombie with a great epitaph called Jonathan Pease from Cardan Antiques and Needlework.
