I love Halloween! I was looking for a good sugar skull embroidery pattern and I came across a couple good ones like
Jenny Harts Day of the Dead Pattern
Marygold Sugar Skull Pattern by Polka and Bloom
However in the end I decided to make one myself. Tom and I stayed up until 2 am the other night working on it. We had so much fun! I haven't had time to embroider a sample, but I wanted to get it out early enough for others to try. I am going to try it out this week and will post when its finished. I am a little concerned with how the mouth is going to turn out. My plan is to fill in all the black areas around the teeth and leave the teeth white. I might even make one gold!
I am still working on the owl embroidery. I ran out of brown thread for the branches so its back to JoAnns.
I like your skull. I am looking forward to see it completed and same thing for your owl.

Hey!
Thanks for including my pattern in your round-up. Your skull is fab! (-:
I just thought I'd add the right link to the Marigold Sugar Skull Pattern. ;-)
