Autumn and Halloween Cross Stitch Delights
Autumn is here, and with it comes a bounty of cross stitch patterns to celebrate the season. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced stitcher, there's a design for everyone.
One popular choice is the Pumpkin Cross Stitch Card by Jenny Van De Wiele, featured in The World of Cross Stitching issue 298. This seasonal design, suitable for autumnal greetings such as Thanksgiving, Halloween, or autumnal birthdays, takes approximately 4-6 hours to complete. The card features a rustic Aida design, giving it a vintage feel, and showcases autumnal colours like red, yellow, orange, and brown.
The card is stitched on specialty oatmeal Aida fabric, and the type of stitches used is cross stitch. If you have North American friends, this pumpkin cross stitch card would be an appropriate gift for Thanksgiving or other fall occasions. The free pumpkin cross stitch template is available as an A4 PDF, and the design can also be purchased as a digital copy for additional designs.
