Halloween House Needlepoint Canvas from Susan Roberts






For those of you who love to decorate for Halloween, this may be the canvas for you. This scary 3D house has it all -- bats in the belfry, Frankenstein, ghosts, cobwebs etc. Once again, it is a large canvas.  The size enables the various shapes  needed to make a 3D house.

OThe house itself is spooky. I like to use the spider web stitch to make spider webs using a light sparkly thread. For the wrought iron railings, you could use either DMC's memory thread or Kreinik's hotwire thread. Of course, this might be the perfect place to use the glow in the dark threads!

Once again, it would be fun to stitch. If you get it, you should probably also make sure you have Amy Bunger's Halloween chapter and June McKnight's new book, Spooky Stitches. (We have them both. In fact, one customer just raved about June's new book. It just arrived last week.)

We have one in stock during the Susan Roberts trunk show but can order more. (And if you order during the trunk show, you get the 10% off).  Our trunk show is at the store through Saturday, April 16.
