Ulla's Pumpkins RR

With the mailing date fast approaching, last night I was able to sit down with DH in front of DVDs and stitch up Ulla's Witching for Stitching round robin. Ulla has asked for pumpkins, whether autumnal or Halloween style... so I dug around and figured I would stitch this sweet freebie that I have actually wanted to stitch for a while now...

Pumpkin Feast

Praiseworthy Stitches

32 ct Amber Linen, GAST Floss


Here is how Ulla's whole RR is looking right now. Ulla has sent two pieces of linen with four blocks on each, indicating in her note that she wants to make pillows out of them. I think hers looks very sweet so far. I put it out for DH to mail to Edgar today... but he was in a rush and totally overlooked it and the rest of my outgoing mail today, so I have to wait now until Monday to mail this out... will still get out before the deadline, though ;-)
