Harvest Moon Pillow...

Ol' Harvest Moon so big and bright,

shine on me this Autumn night...

This design has always reminded me of a late Autumn night when the moon is full and the last few leaves are holding on.

I made this pillow from soft 100% wool that I hand dyed in a rich orange spice for the front. 

The back is a Spicy Pumpkin Stripe wool.

I trimmed the pillow edge in a Glass Beaded Blanket Stitch

in shades of chestnut and caramel glass beads.

The moon, stark tree and leaves have been hand dyed then hand pieced and applied with a Blanket stitch.

I hand embroidered a small web in the crook of a limb and embroidered a spider with a glass bead body.

The Harvest Moon Pillow measures 14in. x 14in. (35.56cm x 35.56cm)
