Fall is my favorite season of the year!  As much as I hate that the changing of the leaves (so pretty) means the end of summer and the onset of cooler weather (and snow to come in New England), I love that fall means it’s time to break out the cuddly sweaters, boots, and warm cups of cider.  And the pumpkins!  How could I forget.

I’m a serious pumpkin freak this time of year…I make pumpkin and cranberry muffins, pumpkin scones, pumpkin coffee creamer, burn pumpkin candles, and right now I’m eating jelly pumpkin candy as I’m writing this post.  So I thought, why not add some pumpkins to my indoor decor?  I stitched up this little framed cross stitch in an evening and it’s sitting nicely with my mini gourds and owl candles on a shelf.  Follow the pattern below to bring a little bit of fall into your home.

I used DMC embroidery floss in brown for the text and orange and green for the pumpkins and vines.
