These wonderful tombstones came out last fall at Michael's stores everywhere. Unfortunately, it was too late for me to design for them then, but I knew I wanted to do it this year. Fortunately, they are available again this year, both in stores and on Michael's website. Both tombstone stitching options are included in the Chart Pack. Finishing instructions are included. The gray "Cemetery" tombstone is stitched on 40-Count Ancient Ruin from Fox and Rabbit and Sarah Chapman's tombstone is stitched on 40-Count Moonstone from Fiber on a Whim. Both are stitched with Needlepoint Silks. Please note that stitching these designs on a linen larger than 40-count will not work with these tombstones.
The stitch count for the Cemetery is 60 Wide by 76 High. The stitch count for Sarah Chapman's Tombstone is 57 Wide by 73 High.
