Lizzie Kate: Halloween Hang-ups (Cat)
Halloween Hang-Ups 2
From prim punching (yesterday's post) to Halloween decorations.
I really enjoy the bright colors!
The white small buttons come with the pattern.
I used DMC floss on the ears + bow tie. Used Wildflower for the orange + Week's Dye Works for the rest (black cat, green).
The pattern has 3 designs, printed on the cloth.
I'd like to get the pumpkin finished, too. Stay tuned.

punching ...
Primitivebetty's blog
I traced the patter on weaver's cloth
I couldn't quite get the 'key', sewed on a charm.
It was quick and fun. Hope to see some readers at the Lake Co Fair in Crown Point, IN on Friday.
Should be a fun time demonstrating punch needle and cross stitching.
Otherwise, check out the tutorial on this freebie:
