Owl-o-een Friday


Here's a Blast from My Stitching Past!
It is even stitching using DMC Flower Thread!  Can you even buy that anymore?

Design - Jack-O-Lantern Sampler
Designer - Curtis Boehringer
Fabric - 32 count raw Belfast linen
Fibers - DMC Flower Threads
Started - 19 August 1997
Completed - 1 September 1997



I dropped by Hiron's the other day to look at their fall displays.

Owls...

...owls...

...even more owls...

And all of them pretty darned cute!

Lots of wonderful Halloween displays.

Spooky stuff everywhere.

Oh and more owls in the front left!

Even black and orange trees.


I'm kinda partial to the orange and black spotted cream colored pumpkin.

HAPPY OWL-O-WEEN!!

Jack-O-Lantern is so cute! I'd love to walk around Hiron's and look at the displays. Happy Halloween!

He's a very jolly pumpkin! It must take them hours to make up their displays. Such fun though.

I have a Curtis Boehringer pattern somewhere...It is more like a sampler IU think. So I was wondering... why do we see owls on display in the fall? Aren't they around all year? Maybe because of their fall-ish colorings? Hmmmm....
