Miss Grimhild Mat

Another collaboration with my friend Jo Scholl. The Miss Grimhild witch design is cross stitched using a pattern from Primitives by Jenny Hoffman. I then added the wool appliqued tree and pennies using muted fall colors to compliment Miss Grimhild's attire. The wool was hand-dyed by me. The lightly stained aida cloth is stitched to a piece of dark charcoal wool, and I have it pictured as a mat displayed on a high back chair in my home. It could be converted to a wall hanging for an additional cost of $10. Shipping cost $5. The piece measures 12" W x 16 1/2" H. Miss Grimhild has taken my heart ....maybe I should ask Jo to stitch a second piece just for me! Email me to purchase beckhoop@yahoo.com

Harvest Pillow

This seasonal pillow is a combination of two art forms and talents between my friend Jo Scholl and myself. Jo creates the cross stitching and then turns it over to me to add wool applique and complete the item.The cross stitch pattern was a freebie from "Stitcherhood," and the wool applique was my design using my hand dyed wool. The pillow measures 6 1/2" x 13 1/2" L and is filled with recycled fabric. “Autumn” is stitched using variegated threads on sage green aida cloth. The cross stitching is mounted on green wool from my stash, and the backing is dark charcoal wool. Email me to purchase beckhoop@yahoo.com. Shipping included in cost.
