Halloween Sampler

14 ct, stitched over 1

Brew up this spellbinding sampler, packed with potions, ghouls, pumpkins and a sprinkling of silver charms! All Hallows' Eve is fast becoming one of our favourite occasions to stitch for. There's something so exciting about getting out those designs that you hang up just once a year, delighting over the details, and - of course - adding to the collection with a brand new project! There's no doubt this sampler is frighteningly good, with all your spooky favourites in one bewitching design. The mesmerising motifs include a wide-eyed owl, a pile of pumpkins, a creepy haunted house and a bushy-tailed black cat, all waiting to be brought to life. Vibrant, bold and so much fun, this playful piece will be a hit with kids and adults alike. Contrasting rich purples, greens and greys with zesty shades of orange, it also uses black metallic backstitch for some great subtle shimmer. And, who could forget the addition of those quirky little charms? Turn to our handy 'How to' on page 88, if you've never tried stitching with charms before.
