A square white cotton table topper, hemmed and ready to stitch: the design is printed straight onto the fabric, so there is no counting involved — you follow the printed colours with the chart at hand. The trails of pumpkins run along two sides and leave the centre free for plates, a tray or an autumn arrangement.
It is a large piece, but it grows area by area, one pumpkin at a time, and makes good company on autumn evenings. A needle is not included: use a blunt-tipped tapestry needle. Once finished, a gentle wash removes the printed lines and the cloth can be pressed from the back.
