Halloween With Robin and Her Sisters

If you've ever watched an Amy Bunger DVD, visited her website, read Amy's e-newsletter, or taken a class in her store, you've probably seen Robin King's stitching.  Robin is the webmaster, DVD producer, and teacher in the shop.

If you've ever paid attention to Robin's designs posted on Amy's website, you might notice that they are almost all Halloween designs.  Robin, she loves Halloween!  And Robin loves her sisters. The photo above shows Midge on the left and Kathy on the right (and a stitched Robin pillow in the chair).  She loves them enough that she is about to finish a third witch pillow, one for each of the King Girls.  Robin clarifies that all the pillows live with her:   "The pillows are still in my possession.  I told them about how they were the inspiration for each pillow, but I don't think they saw the compliment.  Since I don't want to break up the Trio, I will be the Pillow Keeper."

Midge's witch is called Connie.  She has black and white ruffles around her pillow.  The design is from Mile High Princess from Artists Collection and the design is MHP-2209.

Here's a close up so you can see all the wonderful things Amy Bunger came up with for Robin to use on this design.  Note how the very diagonal background stitch looks great with this piece.  I've always avoided very diagonal backgrounds for most pieces but this one has me rethinking that policy.  Love the bat, by the way!

Kathy's witch is called Myrtle Boo Queen.  This Mile High Princess design (available from Artists Collection) is MHP-H13, and was the first witch in the series that Robin stitched.

Again, the diagonal background looks great.  I also love the green pointed shoes and the orange pumpkin and its dimensional stem.

Here's a close up so you can see just how much you envy Kathy.
















The very last pillow in the series is Robin's own witch portrait and she hasn't finished it yet but I talked her into showing it off for you as it is close to being done.

 Only the background and one of the bats remains unstitched.  This is Mile High Princess (Artists Collection) number MHP-2210.  Robin says this is from an Amy Bunger stitch guide she wrote in one of Amy's Cook Up classes.

I am sure you join me in thanking Robin for sharing these pieces for our Blog Halloween celebration today.  If you want to see more of Robin's stitching, browse the photos of finished pieces on Amy Bunger's website.  If anything Halloween comes up, it'll probably be Robin's!
