I experimented a little on this card just to try something different. The design is from the July/Aug, 2008 issue of JCS. I changed the word from "Joy" to "Peace", but otherwise it's stitched as charted. The fabric is 36 ct linen from Vikki Clayton.

Holiday previews...
In these very hot days of summer, it can be hard to think about stitching for fall holidays. But I didn't have anything else on my 'urgent' to-do list. I've been scouring the web for little Halloween crochet motifs. Tons of them exist, but crochet instructions can be difficult to interpret, even from professional publishers, much less from amateurs who generously share their work. But I still love this little bat that I used last year and decided to use again. I thought he made a nice accompaniment to the Night Owl design from the Sept/Oct, 2008 issue of JCS. This was also my first stitching on 32 count Lugana. I liked the fabric, but not as much as I liked stitching on Jobelan.

Wow!! This is really lovely.
Is it also that hot at your place. For the moment here in Belgium it is very hot and this till tomorrow, after that we will have some thunder :(
I just love the bat.
I've been itching to get my hooks out to do some small scale pieces but I have so much on the to do list I'm already turning circles and getting nowhere fast.
Thanks for the finishes.
(ya' see, I have to come and visit other stitchers to experience a finish)
Keep up your great work and thanks for the inspiration.
