The stitch count is the same as that of Sew Autumn - 97 x 78 - for those wishing to create a seasons bell pull or to stitch all four seasons on one piece of fabric.

Sew Autumn

Click on picture for a close-up view

Here is Sew Autumn. I wanted to take an autumnal picture - maybe with a few scattered acorns but ... no acorns; maybe a pile of fallen leaves but ... no, too wet; I thought my visiting squirrels might like to pose with the stitched piece but ... no visit today; I then suggested to Ken that could put on a squirrel suit but ... he looked at me blankly; I finally resorted to a shrub in the garden. At least the sun came out for a few minutes!

Sew Autumn is stitched on 40ct khaki linen with HDF (Vikki Clayton) Raisin Wine and ecru 80 Dentelles for the hemstitching. The finished piece, including the hemstitched edging, measures 5½" x 4½. Unfortunately Valie was unable to stitch an alternative version but she did scrutinize the chart for errors - thanks Valie.

I hope you like my latest design which is now available. All you need to do is leave a comment saying you would like a copy together with an email address. Please do not forget to leave an email address as I do not have time to search profiles only to find that they are private. Sorry but no email address - no chart!

Enjoy!
