Skull and Bones (and Pumpkins)

The latest Leigh canvases for the August trade show are now viewable on the Leigh Designs website.  Skull and Bones is their name (and bridge is their game-LOL!).   There are eight ladies, all in fancy hats, some with 1960s style bracelets, some with drinks, some with fancy sunglasses.  Leigh designed them in pairs so folks could do a coordinating set if they wanted.  I had fun looking at the entire series, trying to find the common denominator between them and looking for the funny touches, like a gold tooth or the red dot in the center of an empty eye socket.

I have it on good authority that at least one name came from a high school teacher Leigh is pretty sure she put in an early grave....

By the way, Smilin' Jack is now viewable in all his glory on the CH Stitch Guides blog.  I find it charming that two of the Skull and Bones "ladies" carry miniature Jacks. Do you think they are having a pumpkin fight?  LOL

Smilin' Jack is terrific! Who wouldn't be proud to carry him this fall? I'll bet your stitch guide sells really well.
