• Pattern / kit : Bucilla 86430
• Time to stitch: ~2 hours per ornament

I finished my Halloween ornament kit and I love it! Last year, I completed 6 (half), and this year I did the rest. It was a pretty quick project, completed over 4 days in late September. It’s not boring, since each ornament is unique, but some of the work is rather fiddly (small pieces, odd shapes, etc).

The witch has a lot of detail, including warts (french knots).

I love the cat’s big yellow eyes and raised tail.

I managed to finish the project without running out of any beads or sequins.

Like I mentioned last year, the quality of materials is good but I found the instructions annoying- there is a lot of flipping back and forth.  

The owl is very detailed too; I love his little orange feet.

My favorite is the pumpkin- so festive and sparkly. Now I have more felt appliqué on my wish list -the haunted house and gingerbread house wall hangings, the nordic Christmas ornaments.  Santa’s Vintage Car. (Oops- I saw a deal on ebay too good to resist!)
