It's Pumpkin Time!

Hello again everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful week! 

It finally snowed here in New Jersey! Yesterday it flurried a bit on and off all day, but it never accumulated. And today we had a quick storm that was enough to show up on the ground. So exciting!

Anyway, today I am going to talk about my fall release "Pumpkin Time." 


This is one of my favorite releases, because there's just something about a big pumpkin that makes me happy! 


I finished this project on a homemade grapevine wreath, which I made this summer from wild vines I found on my family's farm. It was the perfect fit, and I am already kicking myself for not making more smaller wreaths! I added a thin ribbon and a strand of orange doodads (I really don't know if they have a name!) to the wreath, and then added a velvet trim to the stitching. 



This pattern stitches up quick with only four DMC colors: 310, 469, 676, and 3776. I found it easiest to outline the sections of the pumpkin and then fill it in during a time I couldn't concentrate as much. 

This pattern has a stitch count of 73w x 73h, and finishes 5" x 5" when stitched on 14 count. 

And that's all for today! I hope you all have a wonderful day and get to stitch a bunch!
