☆☆☆☆☆ I’ve recently gotten embroidery kits from several companies, and this is my favorite so far.-- Sue G. Embroider a pumpkin home cozied into a mushroom patch with a ghost sneaking out the chimney. The loopy scalloped border evokes the tendrils of a pumpkin vine, and the garland and lantern add charm to this whimsical woodland retreat. As with all of my designs, you’ll work through a range of classic stitches: lazy daisy for looser leaves and petals, satin stitch for small buds, and leaf, whipped back, fly, chain, and even a bit of cross stitch for a lattice background. The pattern is designed to give you an absorbing embroidery project with a variety of classic stitches. Experienced needle crafters enjoy working a range of stitches, while beginners use the illustrated project guide to master this comfort craft for all generations. Quality materials and handy extras include: ::> 8" natural bamboo embroidery hoop ::> Cotton fabric 10.5" square with design printed in permanent color.
