Theresa's January Pick

This month I chose "Scary Jack" a freebie from Shepherd's Bush that has been in my pattern stash for a while. 

Pat's February Cat

I chose the Fraidy Cat design by Jamie Kile of Knotted Tree Needleart from the JCS 2011 Halloween Collection book.

Since the design doesn't call for any orange thread,
I decided to use some light orange 40-count linen
that I had in my stash.
We'll see how well that gold thread on the left
stands out from the ground.
I may need to switch it out!

Happy felines, everyone!

My February Pick

Hello all :)
I decided to do Mandy Cat in Witches Hat from the 2012 Just Cross Stitch issue. The only floss color needed is 310. It shows it being stitched on an orange 14ct aida but since I didn't have that color, and money is very tight, I picked a yellow color from my stash. I've had it for years, I think my aunt gave it to me, and had never found anything to do with it. Hopefully it works for this design! I will post a pic of my progress when I can.
Hope everyone is enjoying their Feb. starts, can't wait to see the wonderful finishes!

April's February Pick

For February I am stitching the Black cat out of the Trix or Treat
Book from Blackbird Designs.  I can't get a good picture of it from the book, but will share my finish as soon as i am done.



Katie's Feb Pick

Wow it's February already?!?! My pick for this month is from Just Cross Stitch 2010 Halloween Issue. It's on page 27 by Inc Circles called By the Full Moon.

All the ornaments from January look great everyone!!! Good luck on this month's picks.

Jo's February Choice


This is my choice for February.

It's a freebie from Jaunty Fox Designs found here.
Never heard of them?  I'm not surprised, they did this one freebie then vanished!  I couldn't even find out the colour used for that lovely orange background.
I think I'll cheat and stitch it on orange fabric instead!

Happy Stitching
