Witchy Pumpkin Cottage update #5

I finally finished the 2nd side (front door) tonight and started 2 others.  The square one on the right is the top (roof) and the one on the left is the side with the crow and squirrel.

Witchy Pumpkin Cottage update #4

I'm still working on the second side (front door) of the cube.

Witchy Pumpkin Cottage update #3

I'm still working on the 2nd side (front door) of the cube.

I attended a workshop at Stitcher's Place (LNS) this afternoon.  Heather taught us how to do a Picot edge using 3 different stitches.  Four-sided stitch, Pulled Backstitch and the Nun's Stitch.  I managed to do the first 2 stitches, but am still having problems with the Nun's Stitch.  I will look online tomorrow to find another set of instructions to follow.  Here is how it looks when you do the first 2 stitches (four-sided stitch and then pulled backstitch.

Then you fold the evenweave and do the Nun's stitch to secure the edge in place.  The edge is a beautiful way to finish a bellpull, hanging sampler, needleroll.  I want to do this on the sides of the Snowman Wisdom (if I every get it done).  Enjoyed the class, just need to practice more.  Thanks Wilma for encouraging Heather to teach a class on this type of finish.

Witchy Pumpkin Cottage update #2

I finished the first side (bottom) and started the second side (front door) of my Just Nan cube.  Here is a photo so far.

Almost done the bottom square for the cube.  Sorry for the washed out photo, the fabric is more orange in real life.  This is stitched over 2 on 28ct Fizzle by Picture This Plus.

This is what is will look like when it is finished ... photo of Just Nan kit.

Just Nan Halloween

I decided to stitch something Halloween themed, it will be my first cube called Witchy Pumpkin Cottage by Just Nan.

The first side I started is the bottom right one with the ravens or crows.
