Crow on a pumpkin

Description

Last year Fusainne hosted a Halloween SAL, the pattern chosen was Frosted Pumpkins "Spooky Halloween" however as I don't like stitching people I didn't do the same pattern as some of the others. Instead I decided on this pattern, which was published in the Just CrossStitch 2015 Halloween special. The pattern is by Kimberly Nugent of Samplers Not Forgotten and can be found on page 80.

I couldn't get my hands on the fabric suggested so chose something similar but I did use the Gentle Arts threads suggested in the pattern. The pattern uses Cross stitch, back stitch, Smyrna stitch and Scotch stitch. I worked the cross stitches in circles in larger area's to avoid striping of the variegated thread which results in a more blotchy effect.

I'm not yet sure if I want to frame it or make it into an ornament as suggested in the magazine.

Size: 65 x 49 stitches / 4 1/8" x 3 1/8"
Fabric: 32 ct Zweigart Belfast "Vintage Beige"
Threads: Gentle arts: 1150, 0194, 0420, 7097, 7073 and 7063
