This adorable design will be a TREAT (and NO trick) to stitch for Halloween! I started with the crow on the jack-o-lantern and the words Trick or Treat and then realized how fun it would be to continue the rhyme and see what spooky scenes I could create for it.
Add a dash of cute spookiness to your Halloween decorations with this adorable ghost! Pin drums are such a fun way to finish small round designs. Pick your favorite coordinating fabric, add some mini pom pom trim and you're done!
