Colorful Witch Project

"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"

Name of the Pattern Used

Free "Witch Saying" Cross Stitch pattern

Supplies Used and Project Purpose

Aida cloth, DMC orange variegated embroidery floss (background), navy blue embroidery floss (lettering), DMC light purple embroidery floss ('good' witch hat), DMC black embroidery floss ('bad' witch hat & edging), DMC dark pink embroidery floss (edging on 'good' witch hat), DMC green embroidery floss (edging on 'bad' witch hat)

It was made for my mom because it is a quote from one of her favorite movies (The Wizard of Oz), and she decorates her kitchen in witches every Halloween. I framed it with some green scrapbooking paper in a little magnetic frame for her to hang it on the fridge.

Advice

  • It says to leave the background white, but I liked it better orange. I guess it just depends on your personal taste.
