Get Ready for Next Halloween - The Autumn Lane Stitchery Way! Coming Home from March Market! Tonight We Ride - Oh... look at that glorious fabric background! Grab lots of black thread... and a little gold... this is intense and striking! This measures 196 x 137, so wil finish about 14 x 10 on 14/28ct. Presented as a full color leaflet. Ghost Towne - Another more whimsical halloween piece, you could do this on a gunmetal background... I think those little ghost trick-or-treaters are the CUTEST! Leaflet. This measures 100 x 134, so it will finish a little lover 6 x 8 on 32ct. A Spooky Stroll - What a fun little floating witch... I love everything about it! It'd be fun to add metallics to the ghost and pumpkin eyes. Presented as a small chart, it measure just 61 x 70, and is stitched in regular DMC.
Also New for Christmas - we have a little time to get these done! Winter Friends - Quite a friendly little guy. This measures 111 x 240 in stitch count, so finishes a huge 8 x 17 on 28ct! All DMC, it is a full sized leaflet. The Jolly Trio - That little fox is the BEST! Cute little retro-flavored designs - these are in either 3 or 4-inch wooden hoops for their finish. Grab a wintery color, and maybe add a little Wool or Wisper thread to all that fur going on? (Black for the kitty and white for the fox tail and santa!) All three designs are included in this small chart.
Three New Arrivals Smell My Feet - Grab some wild fabric you like and DMC's from your stash to stitch this fun piece. It measures only 100 x 100 in count so will be about 7 inches on 14ct. Baba Yaga is another on their intense, super-dark and wild Halloween pieces. It masures 140 x 196 - so about 9 x 12 on 32ct. Get some mangy fabric and don't forget to add some metallics to get those empty eyeballs going!
Across the Seasons! Love Birds is for Valentines - and that's appropriate in every season! Pick a gorgeous red hand-dyed fabric, this is stitched using only white DMC. So pretty, it finishes almost 7 inches in size on 32ct. Current Mood is cute. Stitched on any purple hand-dyed you like, this might be fun finished into a 4-sided standing cube! About 3-1/2 x 9 on 32ct... that cat just fits right in! Lost Souls Cemetery - Another of Autumn Lane's signature spooky Halloween scenes, choose a pretty blue hand-dyed for this - just make sure your white ghosts will show up on it. No metallics called for, but wow - it'd be great in those golden eyes! Anyway, this finishes 10 x 14 on 14/28ct fabric and is stitched with black, white and 336, 823 and 825 blues. That whole light sky is the fabric! Doesn't it look like the bats are hanging clothes to dry up there on the branches?
The Collectors, Hocus Pocus and Something Wicked This Way Comes Autumn Lane has some new designs -- some a little more 'intense' than others! The Collectors are three women of the Salem Witch Trials fame. You get the sordid details in the chart! Stitched on Yule hand-dyed fabric by Seraphim, you'll need 5 skeins of DMC 310, 3 of #500 and 2 of 501. Something Wicked This Way Comes - This one is done on Picture This Plus' haunted linen, which is a gorgeous aqua-deep sea color. You'll need 7 skeins of DMC 310! I kind of see two halves to this one - you could stitch just the top section or just the bottom part - OR the whole thing! Metallics in the windows or opalescent in the moon and ghosts would be fun too - or maybe touches of glow-in-the-dark thread or beads?
Intense Color Wowza! New designs by Autumn Lane Stitchery - you are in for an explosion of color with these! You can just FEEL the potions flying around in the air, and you can HEAR all the swooshing and bubbling and screeching going on. Each one of these is busy and vibrant. All four are presented as leaflets offering huge charts along with a colored master chart. They are all the same stitch count - 140 x 196. Coded for DMC - they all use fun, unusual colors of hand-dyed linens - which can lead to a witch-hunt of it's own! Designed by Aaron Houston - he used to be a comic book artist in his former life!
More New Releases Give Thanks and Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please - All are the same design format - 126 stitches in diameter, they finish 9 x 9 on 14/28ct. Another opportunity for neat fabrics, these use regular 'ol DMC. Halloween Night would be cool with metallics in there, a little opalescent for the moons - a lot of cool stuff on these. (If you do these over one thread on 28ct Lugana - which is actually fairly do-able for lots of us - they'll be only 4-1/2 inches round!) Terrific little round cushions!
Some Dramatic Pieces from Autumn Lane Stitchery Here are 4 designs that are coded for DMC floss, but beg for some fun metallics to be added in - by YOU! Hallows' Eve Haunting - This is worked on Picture This Plus's Murky - which comes in several counts of aida and linen. You're going to need 4 skeins of black floss, and probably some gold metallics for those windows and that moon! It finishes 10 x 13-1/2 on 14/28ct. Midnight Brew - This one needs 7 skeins of DMC black! It does call for some glow-in-the-dark thread... really a fun scene! Fabric information is supplied in the chart. Moon's Out Brooms Out - A fun Retro-look to this one! Choose a dark blue to mimic night sky, this one finishes about 8 x 11 on 32ct.
