{ Fall-ing... }

with the heat & humidity that we have been having

 here in the South,

my thoughts have begun to drift towards pumpkins, bittersweet & Autumn in general ~

 

this time of year always brings a flood of inspiration to me for new designs.

this is the finished stitch for

"The Reverend Gourdon Squashbottom"

 

perfect little stitches by Miss Flea
 ( a.k.a. Felicia Martin, my super talented and quick-as-a-wink model stitcher)

"the Rev" as he is affectionately known as here on the farm,

is out walking with his cat-friend, Horatio ~

both are taking a stroll on the Town Green in Autumn...

 

 



 

 

he carries with him a lamp

which he uses to light their path back to the Meeting house on the Green ~

 

 

 

...as the chilly air swirls and dives around them, kicking up dead leaves...

is that a hint of snowflakes I see in the cold night air?

 

 

Peter is creating a beautiful wooden frame for this design,

which I will paint and distress....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

we can NOT wait to show you this sampler all framed up.

it is going to be

just.

awesome.

 



 

 

I have more Autumn-themed cross stitch designs in the works and being stitched.

their titles are:

~ "Widows Weeds"

~ "Oldwick Burying Ground"

~ "Weep Not"

&
~ "OWL O'Ween"

 

 

I'll share pics of the painted frames soon ~

 

Blessed be!
