One Stitch Ahead

Autumn in Indiana brings cooler temperatures and opportunities to enjoy a few of my favorite things: sweater weather, Friday night football games, drives through the countryside to admire the display of colorful leaves, visiting the local pumpkin patch and corn maze, and piping-hot mugs of spiced apple cider. Of course, it also means Halloween, one of our favorite holidays, is just around the corner!

No matter what you love about the autumn season, this issue of Just CrossStitch showcases a lovely assortment of designs featuring traditional autumn and Halloween motifs that you’ll want to stitch. Vibrant autumn leaves are featured on the Colorful Leaves Biscornu and the Fall Leaves Monogram Set. Woodland Friends, Autumn Cat and Cheeky Chipmunk are just a few of the cute critters making their appearance in the issue. Halloween enthusiasts will enjoy a few quick-stitch projects to complete in time for the holiday. And not to be missed, the next stitchalong installments of the sensational Floral Band Sampler and exquisite House for a Wife, a Huswif projects will provide endless stitching pleasure.

So, go ahead! Pick your favorite projects and let the fun begin. And be sure to share your progress with us on Facebook. We truly enjoy seeing photos as you stitch along with these projects. Please keep sharing! You can find us and tag us at www.facebook.com/ JustCrossStitchMagazine.

Until next issue, friends,
