I have always loved embroidery. I learned to embroider from my Granny when I was a little girl. I didn't stitch regularly until I was an adult. Lately I have found my love again. Crab Apple Hill Halloween Patterns captivated me from the very first time I saw them. I splurged and bought several of them knowing that I was going to be staying home from work for a while with my daughter. The patterns are involved...requiring you to use a light box and trace patterns before you stitch but they are well worth the work.
The current pattern I am working on is Spellbound

The pattern is traced and then colored with crayon to tint fabric to give the embroidery more depth. Then you use a hot iron to remove wax and set color.
I am really enjoying this one!
Does anyone else do embroidery or have a great link for patterns?
