| Turkey Holler Saltbox and With Thy Needle and Thread's November Word Play |
Let's look at the countdown.
24 days until Thanksgiving
54 days until Christmas and
61 days until a new year.
The holiday season is upon us and one of my favorite activities during the holidays other than eating is going to a parade. How about a Turkey Strut Parade? - A parade of previous Thanksgiving freebies. Come on ! Let's take a lookie!
Turkey Creek Manor and Thanksgiving House.

Mystery Autumn Stamp SAL - Stamp 9 - Cornucopia Stamp Freebie
My Autumn Parade Post which I posted on August 31, 2022 also shows more fall freebies.
I have a few Thanksgiving stitches that I hope to share with you over the next few weeks. I am so sorry that I have been slow about sharing them sooner. I just can not keep caught up.
My newest Thanksgiving freebie is called Turkey Holler Saltbox. I was inspired by all of the turkeys that we have in our holler. Sometimes I am lucky enough to see them in the yard.
I stitched this saltbox on 14 count coffee/ tea dyed aida. The house is stitched in DMC 524 and 522 . Aren't the colors so lovely? There are 11 floss colors which include DMC 610, 712, 782, 730 (NOT 3345 which I mistakingly wrote on the instructions, ) 898, 221, 838, 840 , 919, 524, 522, 3371, 301. . It is a small measuring 75 x 70 which on 14 count aida measured about 5 3/8" x 5".
Many of you know , but I always like to leave this little disclaimer.
I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding . I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and for stitching my little designs.
I do have 2 OOPS!
1. I used 730 as the green NOT 3345. So please change that on the instruction page.
2. At the top of the chart on the limb, the yellow leaf symboled as Y is not attached to the branch. Move it up and delete one stitch as shown below. The scissors points to the area on the chart. If you have trouble, on seeing the OOPS let me know.
 |
| The leaf should be positioned on the branch and one yellow stitch on the bottom of the leaf should be omitted. THIS IS THE CORRECTION. |
Now for the charts . Remember you have to grab each image. Sorry that's the only way I know to share now.
Don't forget; change the DMC 3345 on the Instruction page to 730.
I do not think my colors and symbols show up well on the colored chart. So I wanted to let you know the following .
The Roof is stitched in 610 and 898
The Turkeys are stitched in 898 and their wings 840
The ground is 730 as is the star in the pumpkin.
The tree is 898.
I hope that helps out.
Thank you so much for stopping by on this 1st Tuesday of November. THURSDAY I will be sharing my FLURRIES & FLAKES EMBROIDERY SAL . Hope you drop in to see my 1st block in this snowman quilt. Perhaps you may want to join me.
Have a beautiful day and as always...
As always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll

Oh my goodness, Melisa that house is adorable. I can't believe it's been a year since we stitched the other snowmen. I'm excited to see the new ones.
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Darlene. I had fun using some new to me colors for the house. Oh yes, I looked it up and we started Frosty a year ago on Friday. My how time flies. I am excited to be working on a new one. Happy November.
DeleteLove the new saltbox house. I have made three and want to make them all. Thank you for your generosity. I can't wait to see the new snowman blocks. I made the quilt last year in red so maybe this year blue. Hard to believe it's been a year. I haven't quilted mine yet. Have a blessed and productive day.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Joy. I had a lot of fun stitching this saltbox especially using the fern green floss colors for the house. It just warms my heart that you stitched Frosty with me last year. A blue quilt would look amazing. This one is going to have a bit more details. Made I am enjoying working on the new blocks. I hope you like the new snowmen. I just put Frosty in the hoop this week so I am hoping to make progress on it as well. Have a great week, Joy.
