Glow Ghost Cove

A fairy-tale Halloween night: a smiling little ghost beside a carved pumpkin, on an islet framed by glowing palms and flowers reflected in the water. The design is worked entirely in counted cross stitch and covers the whole surface, with gentle colour shading in the reflections and the foliage.

With such a wide palette and full coverage, this is a project that takes time: it helps to sort the threads on a floss organiser and work area by area. The kit includes everything you need except a hoop or frame and small scissors, which make stitching more comfortable. Once finished, the piece is ideal for framing as a seasonal decoration.
