Tiny Modernist ~ 2019 Halloween SAL: Sleepy Hollow

2019 Halloween Stitch-A-Long! This 4-Part Series features cute & spooky vampires, witches, ghosts, skeletons, bats, cats, and a fun Halloween rhyme on every section.

This design can be stitched together as one large Spooky Sampler, but if you prefer to try a different finish, each section of this design can also be stitched and finished into a Stackable Drum. There are 4 bonus circle designs (to use as the top of the drums) included with each of the 4 section releases, along with finishing instructions to make up the drums. See the sneak peek photo!
