Harvest Home- A Fall Freebie

A Terrific Tuesday to you, Sweet Friends! Are you ready for an awesome day? I sure am.  

We are expecting some early morning showers, but  hopefully, the sun will pop out  by mid day.  Yesterday we had several showers and even one thunderous storm, but fortunately, there was no damage. I spent the day piecing away on quilt blocks listening to the pitter patter of rain on the rooftop- a perfect day for this gal.  It was  not until late in the evening that I was able to stitch. 

Speaking of stitching, I have a "stitch"  to share with you that I stitched up way back in 2021. I meant to share it last year,  but time got away from me. 

It is called Harvest Home


Harvest Home is a bright blue home  with glowing orange windows. It sits upon a hill which is filled with pumpkins, crows and corn as well as one lone scarecrow that is not doing his job. Look at all those crows!!  Shoo! Shoo!  Hee! Hee! 



I stitched Harvest Home on 14 count coffee/tea dyed aida. The design size is 80"x 80" and on 14 count aida, it would measure about 5 3/4" squared.  I finished my stitch on a little metal plaque that I found at the thrift store. 


There are 13 DMC floss colors in Harvest Home which includes: 310, 311, 407, 434, 646, 720, 814, 838, 931, 972, 3345, 3371, and 3823.

If you are interested in stitching this piece,  just grab , the images. For printing tips, refer to the post Tips for Printing which has loads of tips from my sweet friends.

This is a larger design so I am posting a larger print version of the symbol chart. I hope that helps. 






So tell me have you started working on fall quilting and stitching? 

Have a fun fabulous  day and thank you  for taking time out of your busy day to spend it with  me. Love ya'! 😘🤗

 

As Always...


Happy  Stitching and Quilting, ya'll

Melisa 

Thank you does not even begin to express how  grateful I am . 

Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤

Dedicated to my dear sister, Amy. I love and miss you so much. You were and will always be a blessing in my life. Love you , Amo.

  3. Such a lovely design--thank you Melisa for sharing this! I see a cute "Fall" stitch sitting to the left of the house--is that one of yours too??

    1. Aaah you are so very welcome. Harvest Home was a joy to stitch and share. Isn't that "Fall" stitch the cutest? It was a freebie that I found on Pinterest. If you go to my Pinterest page I have it pinned under "Fall Cross Stitch". I am not sure who the designer is, but it was a quick stitch. If you have any questions just let me know. I hope you find it okay. Hugs and Blessings.

  4. This is another superb pattern Melisa! I love how it seems to shine - the door and the quilt appear to eminate light! Thank you for giving us the size of the fabric, I really do struggle to work out how much I need. 😁🩷 I love your colours and look forward to stitching this one day, once my eyes recover from my imminent cateract surgery. 😆
    Thank you for another wonderful post and freebie stitch, very much appreciated. Have a lovely Tuesday dearest Melisa. 😁👍🙋‍♀️💜💜💜xx Barbara @flashinscissors

    1. Aaw thank you so much, Barbara. The bright cheerful colors spoke to me. I was so fortunate to find the metal plaque to put it own ; I think it helps to colors pop too. I hope your surgery goes well. I bet you will be stitching in a few weeks after your surgery . I know you are counting the days till this is over with. I wish the best, sweet friend. Hugs and Blessings.

  5. I love the harvest house. I'm so ready for Fall stitching. Thank you for sharing with us. Trying to hold on to Summer this week. It is my last week before heading back to school/work. Spending the week at the beach. I brought some stitching with me. I hope I can finish. I finished your flag sampler last night and have a Christmas and Fall piece to work on. Have a great week.

    1. A week at the beach , soaking up the rays sounds delightful, Joy. I hope you enjoy every minute of it especially since you will soon be heading back to work. It is hard to believe that summer break is almost over and the kiddos will be heading back to school. I hope you have a good year. I am so touched that you took flag sampler along with you and was able to complete it. Enjoy your stitching time and your vacation. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.

  14. Oh, what a cozy little home stitch. The scarecrow is adorable! The fences on the sides of the house really add dimension. Thank you for another beauty of a house. I have been putzing a little with some Christmas projects. I am not the speediest so I start early.

    1. Aaw thank you kindly, Ginny. There is always been something about little white fences that has tugged at my heart. I always wanted one surrounding our yard and house but alas I can dream . LOL. I wish you a wonderful day working on Christmas . It is a good idea to work on them early rather than rushing come closer to Christmas time. I do need to work on some myself. Hugs and Blessings.

    2. Melisa - we had a crows nest outside of our dining room windows this spring and now the "baby" crows - three of them, fly all over while we eat dinner at night. They are very huge "baby' crows at this point - haha

The yard took awhile to stitch especially with all of motifs in the yard, but it was a delightful piece to work on . I hope you have an awesome day.
