Trick or Treat ©Joan A. Elliott photo courtesy of The Cross Stitcher
With it being above 90º here in New York this past week it’s hard to believe, but before we know it, Autumn will be here filled with bountiful harvests, cooler temperatures, and a Happy Halloween on it’s way. I’m delighted that The Cross Stitcher has chosen my Halloween Treat Bag for the cover of the October issue. This playful witch and company are stitched on 14 count Grasshopper Bright Ideas Aida from Charles Craft and Kreinik’s beautiful new holographic threads add an extra special touch of magic. Instructions for making up the easy to sew quilted bag are included. Look for it on the newsstands or you can order directly from Amos Advantage.

Hi Laura-
This American Cross Stitcher magazine requires a one year wait before chartpacks can be made…BOO HOO! but eventually she will be available.

That’s fine for me!!! my stitching drawer is bursting with to-do charts&kits so one year won’t be that long.
And I pick Vanessa’s tip for a stylish witch :O)

She’s super cute, Joan!! But I’m hoping you’ll consider doing a more elegant witch (I’m thinking more along the lines of the goddesses) for next year… >>hint, hint<< 😉

Hi,
I live in England.. I can’t find this pattern anywhere. Any thoughts on where I might be able to find it? I am in love with this pattern. : )
Thanks for any help!

Hi Christine-
I will be able to put this pattern out as a chartpack next September. Until then I am afraid it is only available from the publisher Amos Crafts

Thanks Joan! My Mom still lives in the US so I’m gonna see if I can order it and get it sent to her so she can forward it over to me.
