A Quick Autumn Post

I've been busy working on my Christmas stitching projects, but these just arrived from my fabulous finisher, Deb, and I had to share them with you.  First up is a Brenda Gervais piece, On Pins & Pumpkins.

This was such a fun little project and I'm thrilled with how it turned out! The pumpkin stem is real, BTW.  Deb is so good about finding these things! It's stitched on 40 count Antique Cotton linen with the called for over-dyed fibers. I really enjoyed stitching on this fabric and hope to use it again, soon.


Here's my October Word Play:

 
I ran out of rusty pins and I really miss having them on this piece.


Wishing you all a wonderful week, filled with time to work on your favorite stitching projects!!!
Linda
