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.

-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.
