Barbara is my partner for the next year for the Seasonal Exchange and as you know I received a few weeks back the most wonderful parcel from her which was stuffed full of Barbaras wonderful finishes and the biggest wicker wreath to place them on, so I deliberated and deliberated on what to stitch for her, and finally decided on what you see above.
The pin keep is a Mary Garry Seasonal design and I knew that Barbara liked MG very much so I stitched it using a hand-dyed vintage looking linen. Its trimmed with black satin ribbon and orange and black pins.
The wee fob - which I have to add I am going to stitch for myself as he's too cute, is stitched using DMC Glo-in-the-Dark thread and it really works, the design is Heart in Hand if I remember rightly. He's stitched using the same linen, and I added the wee R.I.P. charm to the top.
I'm pleased that Barb liked it as I didn't strictly stitch Autumn, I stitched an Autumn event.

They are both too cute, of course she liked them! :)
I drooled over this exchange on Barbara's blog and now I'm drooling here, lol! I adore the pinkeep you stitched, so perfect! And the fob is wonderful too with it's darling charm :) Saw the boo needle minder earlier this week, I think I'll be ordering one for myself SOON!!!
Love the designs. I will have to try the glow in the dark thread, didn't know that was out there. What great finishes...as always!
Both pieces are simply gorgeous. Barbara will love them, as I sure would, lol.
Wonderful exchange!
The colors are so beautiful!
Can't wait to try out my ghostie in the dark!
I love it all Su. I have no Halloween stitching, so this is going to be great - it'll really get me in the mood! :D Thanks so much for the additional goodies, too.
They are a couple of cuties, love the pins and charm, nice finishing touches :)

I just saw this on Barbara's blog -what a fabulous exchange! I love it. How neat that the fob has glow in the dark thread! Here is a silly question ... how does one make that lovely knot at the top when attaching cording to such a fob? It may be impossible to describe. Have you ever seen instructions anywhere? You are wonderful Su and I know Barbara loves this gift!
really like those designs well done :)

I know I left you a comment Su, but I don't see it here so I'll leave another. I LOVE this! The pinkeep is so beautiful if you can call Halloween designs beautiful - personally I love them!
