Took a round autumn pumpkin and put a spiral pattern inside the body, the kind of swirl where the fill radiates out from the centre following the ridges. Orange, dark red and golden yellow layer across 6 vertical sections with black outlines separating each panel so theres real depth to it. The stem hooks sharply at the top and a pair of green leaves fan out on one side with little curling vine tendrils climbing up from below.
My mum stitched this on a set of tea towels last autumn and they became the most-used things in her kitchen through october and november. Back it with a heavy cutaway stabiliser because the density is 1,139 stitches per square centimetre and the largest size hits 64,239 stitches total, tearaway wont hold that reliably. Slow your machine through the centre swirl cos its the densest section and needle drag shows if you push the speed. The warm palette reads really well on cream, off-white and natural linen grounds.
Five sizes in the download, ranging from 3.5 to a 7.5 size. Pick the 4-inch version for tote bags and the 7.5-inch for cushion covers or jacket backs. Use a press cloth over the finished piece before removing it from the hoop so the satin sections keep their sheen. Its nearly square in its proportions so it works on a chest panel, a bag front, or a framed hoop display without any awkward cropping.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Fall kitchen towels and seasonal linen setsThe warm orange-red palette looks great on cream flour sack towels and gets better with washing.
- Autumn pillow covers and cushion frontsA 7.5-inch pumpkin fills a 20-inch cushion front perfectly, pair with solid rust or mustard fabric.
- Embroidery hoop wall art for seasonal home decorMount in a 10-inch hoop on natural linen as a standalone wall piece, the spiral reads as fine art.
- Tote bags for a fall farmers market lookThe square proportions fit a tote bag front without wasted space on either side.
- Sweatshirt fronts for harvest seasonCentered on a cream or tan sweatshirt chest, the fall colors pop without needing a dark background.
- Quilted seasonal placemats or table runnersUse the 4-inch version as a repeat block on a quilted placemat, 4 per mat looks rich and full.
- Jacket back or vest front for a bold fall statementAt the 7.5-inch width it covers a jacket back with room left for a hem or contrast border.

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.
