Description

Count down to trick-or-treat time with this machine-embroidered calendar. Each day in October, add a tombstone from the handy storage pocket on the calendar back. When the graveyard is full, Halloween is here! Use glow-in-the-dark thread to embroider the tombstone numbers for an extra-spooky touch. This pattern was featured in the Sept/Oct 2017 issue of Creative Machine Embroidery. It measures 21″ x 30″ when complete.

This pattern includes templates for cutting the haunted house, moon, bats, sidewalk and tombstones, as well as instructions for constructing the calendar. Please note that the embroidery designs are not included with this pattern.
