Floral Pumpkin Embroidery Design, Autumn Thanksgiving Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

The whole pumpkin body holds flowers. Not just a pumpkin with flowers around it, but the shape itself carries an entirely botanical fill: small blooms, leaves, curling vines, all packed tight and contained within the outer silhouette. Single colour throughout, so the depth comes entirely from the directional satin fills in each flower and leaf section, each running a different angle so the whole piece shimmers a bit when light hits it from different directions. At the largest size youre looking at 33032 stitches in a single-colour design, which takes a bit of time on the machine but the result looks genuinely impressive on fabric.

Five sizes from 3.19 inches to 6.81 inches wide. The satin density in those flower sections makes the larger sizes take a while to stitch out, dont rush it. Use cutaway stabiliser rather than tearaway: the botanical fills need the backing to hold throughout the whole sew-out without shifting or pulling loose. Hoop your cotton or linen properly with the fabric held flat but not stretched, and check your bobbin tension before starting so the satin tops sit flat on the underside. Run at moderate speed on the dense flower centres to avoid thread breaks where the fill rows are packed tightest. Ive found you really cant skip the test sew-out on a new fabric with a design this dense.

Customers buy this specifically for autumn home decor, not halloween stuff. A customer sent me a photo last thanksgiving of a set of four different sizes stitched on natural linen, framed in different hoop sizes, hung as a grouping on a dining room wall. It looked really good. Stitch in burnt orange on cream linen for the classic autumn look, or try a dark plum on grey for something more modern. Pick whatever colour works for your project, the design reads cleanly in basically any single thread colour against a contrasting base fabric.
