This week we’ll finish up the pumpkin by stitching the background. My plan is to finish it using one of Beth Gantz’ wooden ornament frames, the open background will work. I’ll put some opalescent paper behind the circle to add a bit of sparkle. Once finished I could put it into the center of an autumn leaf for a lovely decoration.
The background is stitched in Lattice Blackwork, below, using pale green Rainbow Linen.
