Because it is my favorite season, and because I don't want to rush Christmas.
This pattern, from and old issue of Love Embroidery magazine, was designed by Elahe at Momentoell and is now available on her website (along with many other lovely ones). Her thing is using all six strands, and even twelve, of cotton floss, which gives the embroidery a chunky, dimensional look. For even more textural effect, I used wool thread for the pumpkins and linen threads for the stems (but the latter isn't quite so obvious). I'm really pleased with this design, especially the soft fall colors.
