Frost on the pumpkins....
so isn't that handy that Diane Williams of Little House Needleworks is releasing this cutie?!
"Pumpkins 4-Sale"Designed by: Diane Williams of Little House Needleworks
Finished by: The Twisted Stitcher's Finishing Service
***This Lovely pattern is coming SOON to a shop near you!***
Adorable isn't it?! It's on my list...definitely! I can see it now sitting on my mantle with maybe those little bales of straw and some white and orange pumpkins, maybe a crow perched on one....
Oh, my gosh. This little sampler brought tears to my eyes. When my dad retired, he turned his gardening hobby into a small gourd stand, which evolved into a farmer's market at his home. He and Mom offered fresh-picked veggies all summer, ending with pumpkins at Halloween.
ReplyDeleteSadly, we lost Dad this past November to a brain tumor. I want to stitch this little cutie as a tribute to "The Gourd Man".
Thanks for sharing it with us! I will call my LNS in Fort Wayne tomorrow and ask them to order it for me.

OH MY!!! I NEED this...like immediately! And I love how you've finished it Vonna!
ReplyDeleteThis is just darling! I'll look for it at my LNS. Beautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteThis one is going on my list NOW
ReplyDeleteOohh1 I love the white pumpkin! I am starting to stitch for fall now.
ReplyDeleteI know I think it is just the sweetest fall design. And whoever did the finishing on this one did a great job, Oh wait, it was you LOL You did good :)
ReplyDeleteI also like the other new one "A walk in the park"
It's a must have design and your finishing is great !!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Wish we did more halloween stuff here. Sorry to read you had been 'critiqued'. Honestly, there is no need is there. I have used lots of your tutorials always successfully. Sometimes I have had to adapt slightly, but my work is not the same as yours. My coffee is a different brand, my tea bags may be stronger etc, so always your tutorials have been used with a little common sense...leading to perfect results.
ReplyDeletePlease do not stop producing tutorials. They are inspirational and give us novice finishers the inspiration to give it a go!
It's a super work!
ReplyDeleteThis is sweet! What is the finish? It looks like you wrapped it around a brick LOL, but I know that can't be right.. :)
ReplyDeleteJade
Vonna, This is adorable and has certainly gotten me thinking about fall! Hope you had a good weekend. Mere
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a beauty. it's perfectly squared-off, is it on a brick? I have a brick doorstop that has yet to be finished. Never made on before.
ReplyDeleteYour 'sweet-treat' idea from the last post is great...if I could only keep my hands out of the freezer. Much like the Girl Scouts say that the cookies can be frozen for storage....storage? what's that? They hardly last more then a day anyway!
Good morning girl! I spent some time catching up on your blog this morning. I felt like I was sitting in your kitchen having coffee and we were talking over the past couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteLove the pumpkins. Sure understand your frustration with VS.
Kiddies look so cute and eager on their first day of school.
Have a great week my friend!
Love it! You did such a good job with it too. Gorgeous! I love LHN designs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute design, and a great finish. You did good!
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite season. This design makes me so ready for cool weather!
Hope you and the children have a great week also.
I've been looking forward to seeing this design ever since the sneak peek on Little House Needleworks. Isn't it a wonderful pumpkin design? Your finishing is very pretty Vonna.
ReplyDeleteToo Cute and a fantstic stitching and finishing job :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute, Vonna. I can totally see a fall display on a mantle - thanks for the inspiration, especially as I now have a mantle!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! I just finished another LHN piece on my blog--just love Diane's creations! Have a good week, Vonna :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great design and your finishe is absolutely lovely Vonna! Where do you find the time? I'm such a lame bunny that I never finish anything. Perhaps I'll be sending you some things to finish up for me because your finishing is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove this design! And expertly finished! I was actually going to say that this one belongs on the mantle, but you beat you to it!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cute, I just love how you finished it. Great work as always. Love the new look of your blog too, so pretty and autumny.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, especially finished as a box.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish Vonna. I sure wish it was fall already. You can't go wrong with pumpkins that's for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteMs. Vonna,
ReplyDeleteLovely work! Hope you have a great week.
What a beautiful finish, absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVonna,
ReplyDeleteThat is perfect for you!! I love this season.. I really like the white pumpkin.

That is so cute! (and great finishing!!!!). This one will have to be on my "must stitch" list for this fall. I am thinking it would look good on my mantle too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous new design and a fantastic finish! This is one I definitely will be purchasing. I have a secret thing for pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome design and just absolutely gorgeous/divine/fantabulous/beautiful finishing you did for it!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, Vonna!!!!
You did a beautiful job finishing this design, it's darling!
ReplyDeleteVonna, that is such a cute design, made much more fabulous by the incredible finishing. Super work! You rock, gf.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute one alright! I love the description you gave of your mantle!
ReplyDeleteVonna,

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great finish.You always finish things so nice.Ilove the new look to your blog!
ReplyDeleteGreat design...Awesome finish! :D Sweet tunes too!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you my friend. :D
Oh this is so cute! And yes, its a must stitch. I think it would look nice with the Halloween pattern in the JCS ornament magazine, which I've only been able to peak at as mine hasn't arrived yet.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Another definite must have from Diane!
ReplyDeleteI simply love this pattern, what a wonderful pattern for celebrating fall.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for a beautiful blog site.
God Bless you in the Name of our Father Creator.
That is so cute, and I love the way you finished it off. BTW, Happy Belated Blogaversary.
