Bone Cheeks

It's been a while since I have posted anything, not really to much going on here. I do however have a finish stitched piece to show, this is Bone Cheeks by Prairie Moon. It's stitched with the called for DMC colors but I didn't like it on white so I used this nice mocha color fabric I had in my fabric drawer. For whatever reason I can not get a photo to show the true colors, I would take it outside but its raining(again/still).  I love how it looks like the skull is on the ground, DH thinks I should finish it as a pillow I now just need to find the right colors of fabric so will need to go to the quilt shop on Monday.

Have a good weekend
