Cross Stitch this Amazing Ouija Board and Planchette

by

If your Halloween decor runs toward the occult, check out this awesome cross-stitched Ouija board and planchette from Witchy Stitcher.

This project has all the details you would find in a real Ouija board and some spooky extras. It measures 11.5 by 8.5 inches on 14 count fabric, making it a perfect fit for a 9 x 12 frame.

The planchette is stitched separately and is optional if you want to just make a wall hanging for the Ouija board.

You can get the pattern on etsy (and check out her other variations while you are there!) for $7.47.

Designer Spotlight: Curious Carrie Designs

If you like seasonal samplers and cross stitch patterns with a primitive twist, you’ll enjoy the collection from Curious Carrie Designs.

You’ll find alphabet designs, biscornu, patriotic projects and more. The summer category is the largest on the storefront, with Americana and floral designs. There are also categories for the other seasons and more general designs.

One of my favorites is this pretty sunflower cross stitch pattern, which is shown styled as a biscornu but it wouldn’t have to be. The pattern features sunflowers and bees and a little beehive. It uses 12 colors of floss and each side of the pattern is 51 by 51 stitches, which comes out to 3.64 inches or 9.2 cm square.

I love the fabric she used for the sample, which she actually dyed purple herself, but it would also be pretty on a purchased light blue or other color if you don’t want to dye your own.

There’s also a whole set of themed biscornu with a four letter word on one side (crow, home, love and snow, to name a few) along with a seasonal pattern on the other side.

The shop has a rather small selection at around 90 patterns as of this writing, but it’s a nice collection of traditional looking designs heavy on samplers and biscornu designs, so if those are things you like you’ll want to be sure to check it out. Visit Curious Carrie Designs on Etsy to see all her pretty designs.
