New embroidery. I got the image from a retro-themed clipart site (can't think of the name). It's done on a flour sack/tea towel in satin stitch. I hate satin stitch. H-A-T-E it. I hated it before I did this. Thought maybe some practice would help. Nope.

I planned on turning this into a decorative towel for Halloween. Well, it's now almost Thanksgiving. Since I'm burnt out on Halloween right now, this will have to wait to be finished next year. I plan on cutting the towel in half (it's pretty big) and hemming it - then it can be two towels. Then adding some other Halloween items, a pumpkin, a witch, I dunno. "Happy Halloween" banner maybe. Then edging it with some orange or purple rickrack and an embroidery border.

Even though the hard part is over (and I'm never attempting satin stitch for the rest of my life) I just want to put it away for a while before I associate the hatred for the stitch into hatred towards the piece. Which I love. I love the black cat I painfully created. It's not his fault. :)
