Lola Crow's free Pumpkin Tower — three stacked jack-o'-lanterns with bats, a crow, and a skull and bones, stitched start to finish in a single day.
Faby Reilly's free peacock — a blue-and-green peacock in profile against a full circular fan of tail feathers. Originally published in The World of Cross Stitching, now a free download from Gathered.
My own Padfoot pawprint border for the seven-part Frogwarts band sampler — a one-colour dotted frame that runs around every year's band so Sirius's animagus tracks stay with the whole sampler from Year 1 through Year 7. Free download.
A small 2-inch 3D peyote-stitch beaded star — five 'warped squares' of size-11 Delicas joined and stuffed into a hollow ornament. Free chart from Deb Moffett-Hall, restitched in a simplified two-colour DB923 / silver palette instead of the chart's four colours.
Durene Jones' free 2020 Halloween stitch-along — four trick-or-treaters (grim reaper, mummy, Frankenstein, pumpkin-head) lined up under a Trick or Treat banner. Released in four Facebook posts.
