Pumpkins & Leaves 12 Months of Embroidery 12 Months of Embroidery October - Pumpkins & Leaves 12 Months of Embroidery Welcome to the 12 months of Embroidery! This is the eighth month of the 2020 stitch-along. With 12 nature-themed patterns, this virtual stitch-along promises to deliver a full year of stitching and learning new skills! October - Pumpkins & Leaves + Blanket Stitch The ninth installment of the 12 months of Embroidery series features a collection of various shaped pumpkins, fall leaves, dried pods, and a sunny sunflower! The focus this month is on Blanket stitch. As one of the oldest embroidery stitches, it has traditionally been used to finish the edge of blankets, but the truth is that it’s useful for so much more! It can be worked in straight rows, around curves, doubled up, crossed, and even turned into whimsical pinwheels. This pattern uses four variations of blanket stitch. Long & short blanket stitch for two of the pumpkins, blanket scallops for the third pumpkin, crossed blanket for the pumpkin stems, and blanket pinwheel for the dried pods. You will find lessons for all these stitches in the following tutorials: https://www.wanderingthreadsembroidery.com/blanket-stitch-embroidery- tutorial-6-variations/ https://www.wanderingthreadsembroidery.com/blanket-pinwheel-embroidery- tutorial/ Tutorials & How-To Below you will find a comprehensive guide for completing this pattern. I have covered materials, pattern transfer, hoop finishing & framing, stitch tutorials, and floss color suggestions. Much of this information can also be found on my website in a longer format. Simply visit WanderingThreadsEmbroidery.com and click on the Stitch Tutorials or How To buttons on the top menu. The stitches used in this pattern are: Long & Short Blanket, Crossed Blanket, Blanket Scallops, Blanket Pinwheel, Split, Stem, Rope, French Knot, & Whipped Back Materials List • Fabric: Size - For framing in the hoop use a square approximately 10” x 10”. If framing in a wooden frame or stitching the pattern collection into a wall hanging, use a square approximately 12” x 12” to ensure you have enough extra fabric for folding and hemming. Weight - A medium weave fabric such as a cotton, muslin, flour sack, or a linen blend is the easiest for stitching. However, a slightly thicker fabric can be a great choice if you are planning to frame your embroidery. Color - Light or dark fabric are both suitable for this pattern. If using the suggested thread colors, keep in mind that they were chosen for a light colored fabric and you may need to make changes when using a darker fabric. • Embroidery Hoop: Size 7 or 8-inch • Embroidery Needle: Size 7 or 9 • Water Soluble Pen or other items for pattern transfer: (See the Pattern Transfer Instructions) • Small Scissors • 922, 3051, 407, 972, 3822, 3031, 355, 783, 3802 *These are the suggested colors shown in the stitched example.

  • Passing on Needlework Skills to Young People
    CT-MMB.700 PASSING ON NEEDLEWORK SKILLS TO YOUNG PEOPLE Why should we pass needlework skills on to young people? Don't they have enough to do with school, sports, music lessons, TV, and video games? And besides, it's so easy to buy needle crafted items at the store—the ones imported from overseas. Before you answer these questions, think about why you enjoy doing needlework yourself. We live in an age of technology and because of this, many parents have failed to see the importance of teaching handwork to their children. Family sociology has changed, families are spread out across the country, and the tradition of passing heritage skills from one generation to the next has almost been lost. Thankfully, the needle arts are experiencing a renewal, and many adults are learning the skills that were abandoned when they were growing up. Needlework includes knitting, crochet, quilting, embroidery, needlepoint, tatting/lacework, and rug making. Simply put, it is handwork that requires some sort of needle or tool and thread or yarn to create an item of decorative or practical use. The benefits of teaching young people needlework are numerous. Handwork develops focus and concentration. It encourages following a process in order to complete a project. It enhances critical thinking and math skills. It increases hand/eye coordination, small motor skills, and builds self-esteem. Moreover, it provides a means to promote healthy, interpersonal relationships between adults and children. Studies show that young people are less likely to engage in risky behaviors when they are bonded to trusted adults.1 Pointers for successfully working with young people Patience is the key when is comes to working with children.
