I
have been wanting to share this cross stitch with you all for SOOOO
long now!! That’s how much I love it. Once again, I made this for my
partner in the Mini 13 Days of Halloween Swap on Craftster. She’s a big
Frankenstein fan so I knew
I wanted to stitch some sort of Frankenstein for her so I dug through
my stash of cross stitch booklets and patterns and decided on this one.
It’s from Stoney Creek Collection’s “Witches Stitches” booklet # 284 and
the pattern itself is titled “Hello Monsters”.
The pattern also had a haunted tree, a jack-o-lantern and the words
Hello Monsters. It’s a seriously huge pattern. I only stitched the
Frank part and he took so long that I can’t imagine stitching the whole
pattern! But he was worth the work because he
turned out great!
This
was definitely a tough stitch. The way the colors change throughout
the piece to create the shading got confusing many times and I got off
count and would have to frog and re-stitch. I began stitching small
sections at a time which
helped tremendously! It may have only been four shades of green, but
it was still tough.
I
think he looks great though. He’s got a little smile on his face and I
love his snarled fingers. I’m so very pleased with this piece and glad
I had the chance to stitch it---all thanks to my awesome partner!
Here he is all framed up! I love this frame I found! (I always struggle photographing glass--ugh)
I'm totally in love with this piece. It was a monstrous challenge!
