As long as I had the Perfect Palette silks out for the Plum Street Sampler Halloween challenge piece, I thought I'd use them on the Not Forgotten Farms ornament from the JCS 2012 Halloween special issue. I started this ornament only this morning and stitched on it intermittently throughout the day. I am quite pleased with my progress since the piece is very nearly done. Obviously I changed the color scheme somewhat to use the silks left over from my Primitive Needle sampler. I'll be using the deep red for the remaining circles and for the flowers at the top of the vines as well as for the floral motif across the bottom. I'll use a silver grey to fill in the wings and skull and a pale yellow orange to fill in the trapezoid shape at the top. Otherwise, I stuck with black and green where originally charted ... though not the exact black and green called for. It is stitching up quickly and should be finished by tomorrow evening.

Looks great, and a quick stitch!
Fun piece!
This is the one they missed out of the mag despite being on the front cover?!
Great progress.
Wow--that WAS a quick stitch!
