Poe Sampler

Remember this?

Well BOOM! It's completed!

Edgar Allen Poe Sampler by Pullen Designs from JCS Halloween Special 2013.
Stitched on 32-count natural linen from Wichelt using DMC and Madeira threads.


Yeeeeass!

Now that I have a new fancy-pants magnifier-lamp I thought I'd go back to stitching this. My last update was last year and I was stitching the writing at the top which is over-one. I was having to use my neck-magnifier, which I hated, so I sort of lost the will with this a little. In the past two weeks I've managed to finish it. I flew along on the over-one stitching and from then on it was like my needle was on fire. 

The original design was yellow-toned, but I changed to blue and I'm really pleased with how it turned out ^^

    Wonderful, I really love your colour change. The blue makes it a piece for every season and not just halloween. I still haven't started mine. But when I do, mine will be blue too.

    Oh great! Now I have to do it again in blue! I LOVE IT! Never even thought of changing the colors. I did add silver-lined clear beads to the top of the fence, the raven's eye & the cat eyes, and black beads for the owl eyes.
