#172"Pumpkin
Cottage" Sampler Picking
pumpkins... Harvest done!Welcome
to our pretty little Autumn cottage! Imagine
spending some time in this sweet little Pumpkin
Cottage by the sea. This windy scene brings out all
the colours we associate with autumn, Halloween or Thanksgiving.
The orange pumpkins make a colourful contrast with
the purple cottage, the yellow sand, white fencing
and the black roofs. Can you imagine what fun it
would be staying in this getaway cottge? Maybe with
some hearty soup on the stove, while you sit out on
the sunny verandah to wait for the family to finish
raking the leaves? The linen used is a bright sky
blue, to show how beautiful those lovely Fall days
can be. There is an Accessory Pack of silk threads
and pumpkin buttons for your convenience. You don’t
have to use the linen we chose, so enjoy finding
your own favorite colour linen to bring this project
to life! This is a perfect design to hang in your
home or cottage to remind you of fun times past,
present or yet to come.. in your own little Pumpkin
Cottage!

Sorting The Threads in your Accessory Pack:
Remember to sort in daylight near a window, not
under artificial light indoors, as the colours
change with the colour of the lightbulbs we use.
Each floss has a different number of strands in each
thread length. This helps you differentiate the
different colours in your pack. Needlepoint Inc.
silk floss has 8 strands per length The Kreinik Mori
has 6 strands per length The Gloriana Overdyed Silk
has 12 thin strands per length. Dinky Dyes has 6
strands per length.FYI:We
noticed that some colours have been divided into two
lengths. This can happen if a colour requires 1.5
yards. Our kitmaker might include one 1 yard length
and one 0.5 yard length, so don't get confused if
one colour has more than one length of thread. We
hope this extra information will help you sort your
threads more easily!
