Hometown Mystery SAL - Page 12

Hometown - Page 12

I managed to squeeze in Page 12 of Teresa Kogut's Hometown Mystery SAL before the end of December to stay on track.  I can't wait to see what is coming up next!  

I decided to frog 2 of the trees that I had previously stitched with Tarragon instead of 3052 on Page 11.  I misplaced one of the trees slightly when I put it back in, but it was only one stitch off, so I left it.  I had to fudge a little at the church to accomodate, but it still looks alright to me. Just "making it my own".  LOL!

Fabric:  36 ct. Vintage Country Mocha Linen

Floss: Mainly DMC with a few substitutions, previously listed.  No changes on this page.

Pumpkins Please

"Pumpkin Please" by Stitching with the Housewives was started at the 141 Pep Rally and finished when I got home. 

I changed the fabric to a piece of linen I picked up off the free table at the retreat.  It looked like 28 ct. Vintage Country Mocha to me.  

I used the DMC floss colors suggested on the chart.

I did alter the pattern a tiny bit.  I filled in around the windows on the house with the blue pumpkin color and added an additional color to the roof to balance out the house.  This definitely wouldn't be needed if I had stitched it on black, but I thought it looked better on the linen I used.  I can't wait to fully finish it to add to my fall display.
