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.

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.
