Trick or Treat Blog Hop

 Happy Halloween to those of you coming from Jo's blog! Your letter is:

It's been kind of a terrible year, so I have gotten very little stitching done. I decided to focus on an old pattern I started decades ago (while I was in law school, I think) but never finished -- Liz Turner Diehl's Cider House Garden. I didn't manage to finish it this year, either, but I made good progress, stitching the house, one of the maple trees, and six of the apple trees:

 
I think I might finally be able to finish it next year.

I also started Wild Violet's primitive tarot set, but didn't get very far:

I dyed the aida myself, using black tea with a little baking soda to (I hope) cut down the acidity.

On to the next blog: http://guavagems.blogspot.com/  Have fun!

    Your garden is going to be lovely when you finish, you're so close!
    The tea dye looks great, did you bake it afterwards?
    Have a bootiful Halloween!

    Thanks for taking part in the Halloween Blog Hop this year. Sorry I can only comment here if I use my laptop, not my iPad hence the late comment.
    I do like the Cider House design, I've never seen that one before.
