Now you know I had to stitch this canvas. It’s Halloween, it’s colorful and it has a cat on it. What more can I want?

This canvas really was crazy fun to stitch. Again, it’s a Michael Stoebner canvas so we have significant black outlines. Don’t let that scare you. There really isn’t as much black as you think. The cat is random long stitch. Yes, random. Go for it. Just do it, you can’t mess it up and he looks darling.

The background is also a random stitch. This is Brenda Hart’s latest brilliance. Random cross hatching or chicken scratch in just a couple of light coverage overdyes and voila you have this oh so cool background that allows the beautiful painting to show through.

You know the rules. If I stitch it, a stitch guide automatically comes with the painted canvas from now on.

My Happy Halloween gift to you!
