I'm sure you have been wondering what's next in the mad world of stitching that is the Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventure. With Christmas chores and a secret model to be stitched for the January 2012 TNNA trade show, I've not been stitching anything I could show you recently, but that is about to change. I'm going to stitch one of Manuel Salas' paintings that have been adapted to needlepoint by Tapestry Fair. I've chosen Belleza de Halloween (Halloween Beauty) which is a more Americanized version of the holiday which actually is celebrated each November 1-2.

Dr. Janet Moyer and Sheena James, who are going to join me in stitching Day of the Dead, have chosen to stitch his more traditional Day of the Dead piece called Un Pocito de Color (A Little Bit of Color). You can always tell my canvas from theirs as mine has a purple background and a dead tree at the top while theirs has a green background and pretty blue flowers on the top.

I'm sorry. Haven't you met Sheena? This is her stitching for Ruth Schmuff.

She's already posting about her piece on her blog. Janet doesn't blog so she'll come visit us occasionally.

You can see two other Manual Salas pieces (Rosa and Lupe) adapted for needlepoint at the Tapestry Fair website.

Janet and I will post here, although we won't reveal everything, since we will be writing a double stitch guide for the two canvases for Tapestry Fair. Sheena may do a stitch guide, too. I'm not sure about that as she's not sure either at this point.
All I can tell you for sure is that the three of us plan to have a whale of a time this winter.

Thanks Jane for the great introduction. We will all have a blast stitching from the different corners. I will do a stitch guide for Un Pocito de Color and send it to you and Peggi :)
I'm sure Peggi will be thrilled!
Looking forward to seeing posts of this new canvas. She is a little scary. The colours are going to be fun for sure.
You should see her after I stitched her teeth with glow in the dark threads! But I'm calming her down with a serene background, I hope.
