More Fall Color...

Continuing with more of my patterns that have an autumnal feel to them, I'm going to show you my MALLARD DUCK COLLAGE (which uses that variegated Watercolours 10, Fiesta):


(I mean, really...when you look at this, can't you just feel the crunch of leaves under foot?...and hear the quacking and flapping of ducks rising above the water?)

This one is actually a sampler with lots of interesting stitches. I wanted to design something that would be suitable for the autumn season beyond Halloween, so I created RUSTY O'TOOLE:


Here's an easy fall sampler that has utilizes lots of variegated blackwork - all done on 18 ct canvas...it's called AUTUMN LEAVES:


And here's a design that has a decidedly southwestern feel to it, appropriately titled SEDONA SUNRISE:


I even have some autumnal kimonos.... Here's AUTUMN LEAF KIMONO:


followed by the CHRYSANTHEMUM KIMONO:


And we'll finish with something I see a lot of in my neck of the woods -- vineyards! Here's my VINEYARD BOUQUET, which celebrates the colors that appear in the rolling hills around Healdsburg:


Well, I hope that gets you into the mood for stitching something in those lovely autumn colors....(and oh, yes...the row of pumpkins in my blog banner are from another fall design of mine called PUMPKIN HARVEST!)
