Bring autumn richness to your stitching with this elegant pumpkin design, shaped with a natural stem, layered leaves and softly curling vines. The realistic style and warm mix of orange, yellow, green, brown and burgundy give it a more refined look than a cartoon Halloween motif. It suits anyone decorating for autumn rather than novelty, especially if you like seasonal pieces that feel classic and grown-up.
This is the kind of design that looks especially good on tea towels, table runners, cushion covers, aprons and the front of a sweatshirt or cardigan. With 6 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to show the shading in the pumpkin and foliage without looking fussy. The range of sizes makes it easy to use as a small accent on a napkin corner or a larger focal piece on a tote bag, linen panel or seasonal wall hanging.
