Harvest Time.....

 

Harvest is happening all around us now...

On our way to church on Sundays,

we go right through the farmlands

of the Treasure Valley.

A couple of Sundays ago,

there were men picking pumpkins

&

now those same pumpkins are

at our grocery stores.

This is my little harvest,

a tall skinny pumpkin,

a tall skinny pear and a beautiful leaf.

The pear has an embroidery stitch

that I use to use a lot when I designed

cross-stitch - a woven spider web,

which is probably my all time favorite

to stitch.  At first it looks like

a mess and then a few more

rounds and you have a perfect

little circle of thread.

I added a stem and some leaves to

make a beautiful little sunflower...

Once again I used the beautiful threads

from The Gentle Art & The Threadgatherer.
