Yay! I get to start the gallery with this awesome piece from my partner, @Kwality570 ! Did you guys know that I got to meet this fantastic artist in July at a mini meet-up in Michigan? I was too embarrassed to ask for an autographā€¦lolā€¦but seriously, this is why I admire her so muchā€¦look at the details and thought that went into this lovely cross stitch!

Bonus: it is practical and will hold my Halloween themed threads!

Thanks so muchā€¦and please do a separate post for all to seeā€¦

@irid3sc3nt Wowā€¦I wish I could figure out how to change a pattern! I love that you turned the scary frown into a smile! Did you make it up as you went or did you plot it out? I want to make that pattern and would love to do the mouth two ways! I think it would be fun to give to a friend of mine who is in the theater!

@kittykill lovely workā€¦I have that pattern as well but havenā€™t tackled it because black thread is hard to seeā€¦your stitching is so neat!

I enlarged the pattern and figured out where I would, um, turn the frown upside down. Once it was finished, I added two extra stitches because it looked a little too blocky. I thought it was interesting how the original pattern is not symmetrical.

Your idea for your theater friend sounds like it would be very funā€¦ tragedy and comedy, right?

I thought it was just me that made mistakesā€¦I did miscount on one side but I ā€œfixedā€ it and it didnā€™t seem noticeable since it was already asymmetrical! Lucky me!

Iā€™ll get some graph paper and see if I can figure it outā€¦and yes, tragedy and comedy!

Or I could send you what I did, if you want.

@momiemae I couldnā€™t decide which one to pick so I just did them all. LOL! It was fun stitching for you.

I totally forgot that those can be broken up into individual patterns! I might be able to handle that! Great job! It would be hard to pickā€¦

I received from @momiemae!

Check out this witch making something in her cauldron. Something pumpkin-y!
We sent flat to each other so we can do whatever we want with the final product. I was thinking I was going to frame this, but now I kinda want it as part of a decorative pillowcase.

Thank you, momimae!
