About this Smiling Pumpkin with Bats Spiderwebs and Autumn Foliage embroidery pattern

Smiling Pumpkin with Bats Spiderwebs and Autumn Foliage brings celestial details into a hand-embroidery composition. Study the colored design and outline together before choosing which shapes to shade, outline or simplify. The supplied guide identifies these motifs: Smiling orange pumpkin, three dark bats, two upper spiderwebs, gold starbursts, and lower blue-gray, sage and ochre foliage with berries.

The colored image is a design reference. Thread, fabric and your stitch choices will affect the finished result. Preserve the open spaces around the smaller motifs and test difficult fills on a spare piece of fabric before stitching the main design.

Choose your hoop size

The outline pages are labeled for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 inch hoops. Measure the printed design before transfer, because printer margins and fit-to-page settings can affect its dimensions.

The stitch guide recommends 8" / 20 cm HOOP for this design.

A larger version gives fine contours and clustered motifs more room. Select the size that preserves the details you want to stitch.
