Hold on to your hats! Your witch hats, that is. This October we’re casting spells, mixing potions and crossing stitches. Join me, Kimberly Jolly, for the annual Stitch-Tober Stitch Along as we spend 45 days stitching up fall and Halloween-themed designs with Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet! You can join us by stitching a new pattern every day, a new pattern each week, or spend your October stitching up one big piece.
Stitch-tober begins October 1 and will carry on until November 15! This year I am stitching up our new mystery pattern, Fright Night, the FREE Halloween 2020 Mix and Match pattern and Lori Holt’s Pumpkins for Sale pattern in addition to several other patterns you can see here on the Stitch-tober Page.
Stitch Fright Night
Fright Night is a 5-part downloadable PDF pattern series beginning October 2. After you sign up, you’ll receive a new pattern each week via email in time to finish by the end of the month. If you join us for Fright Night, you’ll be in for a treat each week!
If you order your Fright Night Pattern before October 2, you will receive your Fright Night Supply List immediately, and all of your patterns will be delivered via email every Friday in October. If you wait to order after October 2, we will add your first pattern release to your FQS account along with the supply list and email you each pattern after.

I will post my progress every week on the blog, so please join me back here on Wednesday, October 7. I will also show my progress every Wednesday at 9 AM CST on the Fat Quarter Shop FlossTube.
You have plenty of time to gather all the supplies you need and choose your patterns. In the meantime, I recommend choosing how you would like to stay organized and keep track of all your different projects, tools and supplies.
You’ll want to stay organized as you stitch so I created a FREE October Downloadable Calendar and a FREE November Downloadable Calendar. You can also pick up our Cross Stitch Journal. The Cross Stitch Journal allows you to record every detail for every cross stitch project you choose, such as pattern, designer, time spent, and floss and cloth used.

Where do I place my order?
Hi! You can click on any of the links in this blog or you can visit fatquartershop.com!
I’ve been trying to find a place to ask this question but maybe this will be the best place. I’m working on pumpkins for sale and I decided to stitch it two over two. Do I need to cut a piece of cloth with larger than the called for pattern. I’m using the 25-count lugana and I was going to add 4 in for a border but do I need to add 8 in because I’m stitching 2 over 2 thank you for your help.
