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.

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.

Gloomy Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all my Tombies and Gloomies friends. This design from Prairie Moon is appropriately called Merry Christmas. I really like that the dog has a Santa hat too.

Miss Mary Mack
This is my rendition of Miss Mary Mack from La D Da Designs. I changed it so you can see the silver buttons down her back and I made her a blond. I used HDF silks for this design. I loved stitching this, it was so much fun. I used a piece of linen that I had on hand, that's why it's a little small.

Spooky House
This is a great pattern for this time of year. It makes me think of leaves blowing in the wind. It's called Spooky House and it's from Xs and Ohs. I love the tree and the bats.
