Design: Fall Needleroll from Fall Fobs chart
Designer: Heart in Hand
Threads: DMC as charted
Fabric: 28 count evenweave
I stitched this for Gaby over on the Hooked on Exchanges blog. It seems like most of my stitching these days is for exchanges, I've lost my mojo for 'selfish stitching' but it is so much fun to give - and to receive - to friends all over the world.
I think I will have to stitch this piece for myself though - I loved the colours and the style. I stitched it in the DMC that the chart called for, but I did alter the colour of one of the pumpkins. I think my favourite part though was the specialty stitch band at the bottom - the combination of colours and textures looks great!
I finished off the needleroll with a little acorn charm, and some organza ribbon. This picture shows a little flash glare:
