Acorn Gathering Sewing Roll

I LOVE Autumn designs and colors. They are some of my favorites to stitch. When I first saw Acorn Gathering Sewing Roll by Brenda Gervais, I knew I wanted to stitch it. It was first released in 2014 but I did not see it until 2022. It was only available from Country Sampler in Spring Green, WI so I ordered it from them.

Chart for a sweet little Autumn-themed sewing roll.  Furry-tailed little squirrels, acorn motifs, big potted mumms along with some quaker-inspired motifs adorn the flap of the sewing roll.  Old mother of pearl buttons and vintage Taffee Beige seam tape adds just the right finishing details to the sewing roll.  And like any good little squirrel, we have hidden a surprise project to stitch inside of the pattern.  It will be a great little companion piece to the sewing roll!  The design is worked over two threads on the 40 count Doubloon linen.  The roll is backed in a coordinating calico.  Stitch count – 160 wide x 67 high.

I selected a piece of 16ct Everything Else by Mystic Fabrics and a mixture of the recommended floss and DMC to stitch this one. I plan on finishing it as a drum once it is stitched.
