After embroidery is complete, either by hand or machine, follow the instructions on our Free Project page to create a stitch-and-turn quilt sandwich for the Halloween wall hanging. Use 12 wt. Cotton Petites™ thread from the Halloween Sampler to quilt the wall hanging in the manner of your choice.
Use Halloween-themed fabrics from your stash or look for glow-in-the-dark prints to add more spook to the party. Try using Sulky Glowy™ thread for the embroidery to add even more interest! Glowy is slightly thinner than the 30 wt. cotton, but would work well with this openwork design.
Hang on your door for the month of October to get into the spirit! This would look really cute hanging above a fireplace or along a buffet backdrop, too.
Happy Halloween!
