Catching up.


I have been stitching and forgot to post!  The houses and pumpkins are tent and basketweave stitches with Silk Lame Braid 18 01 for the black and then Petite for the yellow.  I used four strands of Mandarin floss and packed stem stitches for the branches.  The smaller branches are worked with two strands.  The hat is Neon Rays in Serendipity stitch.  Then I did Trapunto and stuffed it from the back so it stands out, but that does not show in the photo.  The hat brim is buttonhole stitch with the black Neon Rays.....Her face, hand, and hair are stitched with Mandarin as well using four strands. The hair sticking out around her are black Fuzzy Stuff.  Her sleeve is Mosaic stitch turned to create the direction using Silk Lame Braid as well.  A lot of this is hard to see due to the all black.
