MOJO STITCHES AUTUMN CHART

The third in the Mojo Stitches 'A Stitch for All Seasons' series, this design takes simple Auntumnal motifs of crunchy leaves and ladybirds and easy borders to create a sweet focus for your seasonal display, or for a quick gift.  Stitched in a beautiful, Autumn-themed Stitcher's Paletter from Cottage Garden Threads, these colours are perfect to use in your other Autumn-themed stitches.  I've included some tips for stitching with them effectively - and I hope you enjoy creating your own, unique piece with these special flosses.

This design has a stitch count of 77wx109h and uses full crosses over 2, and some backstitches. In my model, I used 2 strands of floss over 2 threads of linen. It is suitable for beginners to advanced stitchers, and can be stitched on linen, aida or evenweave of any count that you prefer.

Model stitched on 32-count 'Soft Ivory' by Zweigart. I've framed it in a standard 6x8-inch frame. For a more antique look, try using 1 strand and/or stitching on a higher count fabric. If you do stitch it on a higher count, you could finish it into a small pillow for a dough-bowl display or as a pincushion. Alternative wording for 'Fall' is included.
