Haunted Mansion Cross Stitch for Halloween

People I know who love the Halloween season (yes, it’s a season) seem to start thinking about their plans around this time of year. If you want to stitch something amazing to add to your Halloween decor this year, now might be a good time to start.

I love this Haunted Mansion design from Good Morning Maui on Etsy. It features all sorts of ghouls and creepy characters, all having their own Halloween party.

It’s nearly 15 by a little more than 20 inches when stitched and uses 37 colors. It’s got back stitching and 3/4 stitches as well, so this is not a beginner project but it looks like a lot of fun and is definitely something people will notice if you have people in your house by Halloween.

I came across the Etsy shop Bad Stitched when I was looking for bookmark cross stitch patterns and found their adorable pride bat bookmark, which I didn’t share then because I was going for more of a back to school vibe, but it’s definitely worth checking out if you love rainbows and bats.

This Etsy shop is big on whimsy and color, but not on organization, as there are not categories. Still, as of this writing there were only a little more than 60 patterns, so it’s small enough to scroll through.

In keeping with the theme of the bat bookmark, there are a lot of designs with animals and insects in different colors. Another one that caught my in this neon cicada with a crescent moon and stars. This one is 85 by 70 stitches and uses 16 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 6 by 5 inches, or 15.4 by 12.7 cm.

You’ll also find patterns with animals such as mice, a snail, a jellyfish, a wolf, a corgi in a birthday hat, a fat seal and other bat designs. There are several mushroom designs, a pirate frog, and a scuba diving ghost (among other ghostly designs). You’ll find cats and mythical characters, a mouse thinking about eating strawberries and more.

There’s also an ebook full of mushroom designs, and another of creepy creatures for Halloween and beyond. There’s also a Pantheon bundle, full of gods, goddesses, characters from mythology, three amphora designs and a Greek inspired font.

If these sorts of designs sound like something you’d like to stitch, check out Bad Stitched on Etsy.
