Hello October, I'm so happy that you're here! It's *birthday* month and it's blog hop month, too! :)
I finished stitching up Mr. Jack O'Lantern!
He's such fun. But I felt he needed something a little more than a hoop or mug rug finish. I think I found (or rather, made) the perfect solution . . .
Yay! It's a slipcover for a Christmas pillow I've had for ages. I may go back and quilt the face of it later. Maybe. Right now, I'm liking is just as it is, where it is!
I got some other stitching finished up and some started this week . . .
The hexi pumpkin pins are always fun!
This Kathy Schmitz heart has been unfinished for a while ... since March, I think. Which would be about right. That's when the world went topsy-turvy, right?
Anyway, it's finished now and ready to display come February!
I stitched up the first of these in May (Mother's Day, to be precise), so it was about time that I worked on a second . . .
There are a total of six. At my current pace, I should have the complete set done by May 2022. Hahahaha!!! :)
Today I spent the majority of the day "falling" up the place . . .
While I watched a little SEC football. There were (are) some good games on today! Roll Tide!
I'll settle in tomorrow afternoon and pull out some "slow Sunday stitching" . . .
I've got four of the nine floss colors needed for it. I'll pick up the rest next week. This will probably be my last autumn stitchery of the season. I've got a wool project in the wings! Then I truly do want to get those mittens finished up for this Christmas. LOL...really!
Linking up with
Kathy's Quilts and her Slow Stitching post. Y'all have a terrific rest of the weekend!! Oh, and you'll notice ... I'm being sweet ... no Christmas countdown reminder!!
:)

Love all your decor pieces - great mix of patch work and hand stitchery.
Love all your decor, Denise!! And I really love those hexie pumpkin pins! I'd love to make some. Do you have a pattern or point me toward a pattern? I found one at Wild Olive but yours are sew much cuter!! And yes, our Tide did ROLL again!!
SO many lovely projects... that photo of the floss and the design ready to go would make me want to get started right away!
Enjoy your slow stitching today!
The hexie pumpkins are so cute!
Gosh so many lovely things I love your Jack o Lantern.
It's looking very Autumny at your home love the stitcheries you are working on. happy Stitching.
What a great group of projects and finishes! I love the jack-o-lanterns. I still need to trace out the new Kathy Schmitz one. Have a great week!
LOVE all the pumpkins!
well, there are beautiful blankets, patchwork and stitiching around you. Those little hexies are fun and I've absolutely loved the pillows ♥
Lots of pretty stitching! October is my birthday month too.
I must say "falling up your place" looks fabulous! So many pretties to make one smile. The Mr. Jack O'Lantern is adorable and how fabulous it looks made up into a slipcover for a pillow. 'Tis always a joy to see some hexies....pumpkin ones more so. It seems to me that your home is one where much joy and fun is to be found!
Great fall decorations...looking very festive! Your embroidered pumpkin cushion is very cute. You are picking up steam on those mittens...maybe they will be done for this Christmas!
It’s feeling a bit like fall. Your stitching is beautiful. I started putting a few fall items out this week too.
This is such a pumpkin-happy post! Your stitchery is excellent, as usual. I do like it in pillow form.
Those hexi pumpkin pins are too cute.
Even squeezing in a little Christmas!
Hope you had a good "slow stitching" session yesterday. :)
I'm happy football is back also. I was just texting with my Granddaughter this morning. She is in her second year at Auburn. She was saying the game ticket would have cost her $35 and she decided to save the money, now she wishes she'd gone ahead. She will watch on her computer. Money is not in great supply when you're going to college. I think saving the money was a good decision.
I'm liking all your Fall decor, especially the stitchery.
The hexie pins are very cute. What size do they measure. Do you just attach a brochure pin to the back.
You definitely have the fall spirit going on, lots of beautiful things on display. Hope you are managing to fit in lots of hand stitching this week.
