It's a happy day here in Chilly Hollow. At last Jeff Kulick's Halloween piece is available as a chart! I fell in love with this when it was on display at Woodlawn two years back, and I don't even like Halloween colors. You can still see the photos they posted to their photo album of the original.

Jeff's a dynamite stitcher who likes designing his own pieces. I hope this is just the first of many pieces he's stitched over the years made available to his fans. Here's where you can order your chart plus some details of the threads needed.

Scarlet Thread helped Jeff chart the design and they've also posted a photograph of all the threads used since they sell the thread kit as well. Many thanks to Karen for noticing this was ready.

Congratulations, Jeff! By the way, please please please chart Waterforms next.

UPDATE: An interview with Jeff has just published on Scarlet Thread's blog. It has a lot of photos of Jeff's work and gives a little insight into what drives his original designs. Don't miss this chance to meet an original stitcher who just might have a big career charting designs for us ahead of him.
