Seasonal stitching

This is 'Mighty Acorn' from the 'Winds of Autumn' book by Blackbird Designs, stitched more or less as charted.

I used 40 count 'Biscuit' linen from NorthSamplerHouse and in real life it's a much warmer, nicely biscuity shade than the beige that's showing here.

The piece is only 5 3/4" by 9" but it took a good five weeks (as my sole project) to do.

Karen, that is just beautiful! I have worked many counted cross stitch charts over the years, including a few samplers and think this is one of the nicest I’ve seen, especially as I love Autumn! Checked for the book on Amazon and a second hand book site but to no avail - any idea where I could find the book?

I'm glad you like the piece, Doreen - I was struck by it as soon as I saw it!
Are you in the UK? If so, various shops stock it fairly reliably, e.g. Peakside Needleworks https://www.peaksideneedleworks.co.uk/#!/Winds-of-Autumn/p/269417216
The Patchwork Rabbit https://www.patchwork-rabbit.co.uk/blackbird-designs-winds-of-autumn.html
Fobbles https://www.fobbles.co.uk/2012-08-16-12-59-07/embroidery-books/cross-stitch-books/winds-of-autumn-blackbird-designs-detail.html
and Ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154649188270?hash=item2401cf57ae:g:vCQAAOSwwW9gqiBi
Hope that's helpful!
