Mr. Owl

Halloween! We love Halloween at whimsicalstitch.com. Mr. Owl has a wickedly fun body stitch along with bright beaded eyes. The stitched piece is a stand-up, but the guide includes stitches for both the stand-up and a full piece with a background for those who do not want a stand-up. The guide includes easy, fun stitches that bring drama and fun to the piece.

It's a joy to stitch and a joy to look at.
