About this Spider Web Pumpkin with Moths Crescent Moons and Botanical Branches embroidery pattern

Spider Web Pumpkin with Moths Crescent Moons and Botanical Branches brings celestial and botanical 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: Large cream/gold pumpkin containing a spider web; three moths; two crescent moons and one pale circular moon/disc; dark navy botanical branches, pale gold/gray foliage, hanging stars and point-to-point celestial linework.

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.
