2nd Place, Non-Professional Non-Original With Instruction

The infamous Debbie Stiehler pumpkin and its five big sections was a year-long, on-going project for my local chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild. That was great motivation to keep going. Funny how the pumpkin seemed so much bigger on the stretcher bars than it does finished! The wool leaves were borrowed from Deborah Tirico’s Harvest Table Runner.
