An Autumn's Day - A Fall House Freebie

How about let's welcome the 1st week of September with a house stitch?

Hello there , Punkins! The sun is shining and the birds' are chirping ! Yep! It's going to be a beautiful day. 

The gorgeous crocheted pillow was a gift from dear Barbara. 

Sooo How about it ? Are you in the mood to see my latest house stitch?  I have been so far behind on posting stitches lately.  I guess if I would stay home I would get more done. Hee! Hee!  But in my defense , I have been having  soooo much summer fun. 😁😃

Anywhoo. I do have a new stitch to share with you .

 I sure hope you like it. 🤗



It is called An Autumn's Day. It is a orange bricked house flanked with tall glorious sunflowers. Now tell me -could you live here?  

There is one problem a pesky but adorable crow makes its home on the rooftop, but he is a good fella and as you can see, he loves to pick pumpkins .

 I included the date 1823 as a nod to one of my distant ancestors; of course you could change the date to whatever date you would like . 


 There are 15 DMC floss colors in this piece including:  DMC 301, 370, 420,  610, 642, 730,  782,  838, 844, 898,  919, 922, 937, 3825, 3852 . 

 I stitched An Autumn's Day on 14 count coffee / tea dyed aida. If you would like to see how I dye my fabric check out my Time to Dye post. I warn you though, I am a messy dyer.

Yesterday, I disassembled my summer tiered tray decor. This tiered tray is beside my kitchen corner sink, and it is filled to the brim with clutter as well.  



Soon leaves were flying and pumpkins were rolling and in no time the tiered tray was decorated for the fall season .

 Lots of chickens and of course all things fall decorate the tiers. 

 I raise my items using lids underneath and then tuck loose flowers and leaves into the nooks and crannies.  

Well , Sweeties. That is what I have accomplished as of yesterday. Time to roll out more pumpkins and decorate the rest of the kitchen. 

Have I reminded you lately how wonderful you are? You are the bees knees! 

An Autumn's Day pressed and ready to be stuffed into a pillow

Thank you for taking such precious time out of your day to spend it with me. I can not express how much it means to me. 

Now go out there and do something awesome! Love ya! 

As always,

Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

    1. Happy Thursday, Carrie. LOL I am always dreaming up new houses. I am so tickled that I can enable you into stitching another house. Hee! Hee! I am so touched that you are working on them. I hope you enjoyed Aunt Mariah's . I enjoyed stitching all of the kitties in that one. My real Aunt Mariah was a quilter; I am not sure if she had cats though. Candy Corn house should stitch up quickly. Have a wonderful day and thank you Carrie. You brightened my day. Hugs.
