Since Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to design for, I created another one for this year! As you can see, I stepped outside the box a bit and worked up a larger design than what I normally do. If you are a stitcher that enjoys working on larger projects, you might enjoy stitching this spooky little neighborhood. Surrounded by a gothic-looking fence and filled with spooks, a witch, and assorted creepy-crawlies, it’s the perfect place to go trick-or-treating on Halloween night, if you dare! It’s a larger piece, but still easy to stitch, with minimal fractional stitches and not too much backstitching.

This design is available now as a downloadable PDF pattern in the Waxing Moon Etsy Shop: HALLOWEEN COURT E-PATTERN and will be available as a printed leaflet in needlework shops this week.
