20+ Halloween hand embroidery designs curated for the modern stitcher!
—
Summer is winding down and I’m all about the Fall holiday crafts. I pulled together a fun list of modern Halloween hand embroidery designs that are perfect for stitching under a warm blanket; these designs would be fun on pillows, wall art, or even shirts. I love the idea of handmade holiday decorations that my kids can grow up looking at, and eventually inherit. A few of these, they could even help me stitch, a family fiber project!

Hi Patricia! So this isn't a booklet - it is 15 different patterns from different sites and designers, you would have to click through to each one to find them. Good luck :)
