Halloween link up 2024

 Usually at this time of the year I join in the Trick or Treat Blog hop hosted by Jo over at https://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/  but organising the hop is a lot of work for Jo and this year life is busy so instead of the hop it is a link up.

I like to try and do something new for the hop each year and happily had something finished ready so it can be added for the link up.

It is a modification of a design in issue 350 of The World of Cross Stitching. One of four designs by Fiona Baker, intended  to be a coloured cross stitch with a blackwork frame.

For speed I decided to just do an outline of the central image and added a little bit of gold blending filament  I have a little bit of that to use up

after the picture there would normally be the letter for the hop and a link to the next blog. If you did not come here from Jo's blog then use the link at the top and see what other themed stitches are about.

If you are still craving more Halloween themed stuff  you can link to previous years hops click on the Halloween label link at the bottom of the page.

Oh and I have shared this particular Forestella song before but as a ghost story it fits
