A Halloween Tour at Stitch by Stitch

Stitch by Stitch in Larchmont, NY has posted an e-newsletter full of finished Halloween pieces for our holiday fun.  They list the designer and if there is a stitch guide available, they tell us, which makes ordering easier.  

Happy Halloween!

Neighborhood Boo-BQ (Rebecca Wood and Amy Bunger) UPDATED

Amy Bunger has finished stitching the hilarious Rebecca Wood "Neighborhood Boo-BQ."

The guide is available from Amy but since she retired as a shop owner, she no longer will get the canvas and threads for you.  However your favorite shop will order these.

UPDATE:  Sherry Bray has a guide for this as well.  Talk to Chandail about getting it or Sherry after the class is over.
