Waiting for the Harvest by Blackbird Designs is included in the book, Winds of Autumn. The theme for October in the Blackbird Academy SAL is pumpkins and this chart has three.
I selected a piece of 16ct aida that was a pretty mottled orange that I had in my stash. The floss was some of Vikki Clayton's hand dyed silk floss. Quarrelsome Creatures, Quick Vinegar, A coos Sticks are the three oranges (dark to light), Coffee Bitters is the color for the birds and Labyrinth is the black. The leaves are Nocturnal Concert.
I decided that I did not want to use my initials on the top left and right top corners. Mini pumpkins were perfect. Now to decide how to fully finish this one. I've had this finishing board from Homestead Needleworkes in my stash for a few years now and it turned out to be the perfect size. The pumpkin patch buttons are from DressItUp
