Here's a different kind of embroidered piece. I found this cute jack-o-lantern pattern in a Keepsake Quilting catalog. I just fell in love with his jaunty face!

This jack is about a foot tall and a foot wide. It's made of a double layer of felt, glued and sewn together.

The embroidery is mostly blanket stitch and stitched by hand. The leaves have running stitch stems. The eyes are French Knots and the eyebrows are stem stitch.

The handle is wired so it is sturdy and stands up. The nose is a yo-yo made of the same felt and stuffed with fiberfill (the pattern called for a painted wooden dome).

I'm so pleased that he's all ready for Halloween this year!
