"Indian Summer"...
an unexpected warm spell during the Autumn months.

I decided to finish this punch needle design
into a smallish wool cushion.
I used a Beaded Blanket Stitch,
with mustard glass beads on the edges.

I placed a random zig zag stitch of hand embroidery
around the edge of the design,
using Valdani variegated Perle Cotton Thread.
This design would also look nice finished
onto a bread board
or the front of an old book.

Welcoming Autumn, with colors of an Indian Summer...
bittersweet, pokeberry, white pumpkins
gorgeous shades of fallen leaves
and a deep blue Autumn sky.
