The House on Crow Corner UPDATED AGAIN


Halloween is coming soon and you know what is essential to a good scare? A haunted house!

The House on Crow Corner from Laura Perin (designer is Vicky Hastings/Cricket Collectioin of Dreamhouse Ventures) is shown above. Isn't using beads for autumn leaves clever? More information about how this was stitched and finished at Ms. Perin's blog.

Apparently this is available as a XS chart also from Cricket Collection. The chart is called Three Gables.
