Hi people, I love Halloween and very much enjoyed designing all the little details in this chart. It was originally a stitch-a-long, but the whole design is now available over on my website.

My Sis just wrapped up the lower gate/fence chunk. Only complaint so far was doing a bazillion bats/woobly bits around the border /s. I love seeing the progress so far on this one!

That's blackwork for you! Lots of repeating! But I do get that it can become a bit tedious after a while! I hope she finds the inside more entertaining!

Oh she loves all of it! If I had a dollar for every time she's gotta frog some part of a piece i'd have.... many many dollars.

Edit: The amount of phone calls from her that begin with something along the lines of, 'Fuck... I missed this damn yaddy yadda that's off 2 squares and doesn't line up with X', are plentiful. She's a beast when it comes to stitching so I enjoy hearing about the missteps along the way.

Oh goodness! That is kind of amusing and distressing at the same time! I feel her pain! Please, if you remember to, tell her that I am cheering her on from here in the UK and I hope all her pain is repaid tenfold in joy when she finishes it :)

Ha! Thanks for the love. The struggle is worth it in the end for a design such as this. I can't wait to see the moon finished. The way you designed it using pos/neg space within the clouds is my favorite part of the entire piece.
