We (my sister Lynn & my friends Helen & Minnie) went to the 2018 Cross Stitch Club Retreat in Harrisburg PA a couple weekends ago. While there I started the first installment of the Silver Needle's
A Little Help From Our Friends Stitching Circle. It is
One Hundred Hearts designed by Sampler Not Forgotten.
I'll have to FFO it sometime soon. Next up is my pumpkin. Janis from Noteworthy Needle drilled our pumpkins (the craft kind you get from Michaels) so we could stitch our chosen pattern on it. It made my thumb sore pushing the needle through but I finally finished it.
I'm going to put a battery operated candle in it and put on out on my porch. I might eventually do another one, but it will be a smaller design.
Now - SPOILERS AHEAD. Anyone who has not received their Halloween box from Colour & Cotton beware. Lots of pictures ahead.

I hope you had a wonderful time at the retreat! I wanted to go, but I had another commitment close to my heart that I attended.
Your pumpkin looks great, what fun! I actually just found that my DH has the tool to make the holes, so I might just have to look into that.
Your Halloween box is great, all such wonderful goodies! I really love the colours of the fabric and floss.
