This design would be appropriate for Thanksgiving or Halloween. My pumpkin looks a little spooky to me, so I will be using it for a Halloween decoration.
Pattern Name: Free Valdani Pumpkin Cross Stitch Chart
Suggested Projects: Use this design for a small framed design or to decorate a paper mache box.
Fabric Used: 14-count Smoke (Khaki) Aida fabric from Charles Craft
Floss: Two strands of Valdani Six-strand Overdyed Cotton Floss
I stitched the pumpkin using a swirling, random pattern to take advantage of the over-dyed floss.
