This one is kinda the definitive autumn pumpkin. Round body with the ribs running top to bottom, a short twisted stem going dark green at the tip, and two little vine scrolls curling out from the sides like the pumpkin has arms. At the base theres a maple leaf sitting at an angle, veins stitched in satin, colours already fading from green to that dusty autumn red. The whole thing sits on a soft grey shadow so it looks like its resting on a surface rather than floating.
Seven colours do alot of work here, its surprising how much depth comes from just the two orange tones layered with the dark red-brown shading on the ribbed sections. The directional fill runs vertically on the pumpkin body which follows the natural curve of the lobes and gives that slight roundness without any applique or padding tricks. At the 3-in baseline size its about 15k stitches which is a quick Saturday hoop job. the 7.5 feature is pushing 42k and thats where the pumpkin ribbing and the leaf vein work really come into their own.
Use a medium tear-away on woven cotton for most fall projects and it comes out clean. The design sits wider than it is tall so it fits nicely on a sweatshirt front, an apron pocket, or a standard 5x7 hoop for a fall table runner. I get messages every September asking if this works on burlap and yes it does, just add a firm topping to keep the stitches above the weave. The grey ground shadow looks best on cream or natural linen where the contrast is softer. Hoop it centred on a cream tote and its ready to go. Skip black fabric if you want the shadow detail to show, on dark backgrounds the grey just blends in.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
