Swirly Pumpkin Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Decorative pumpkin done entirely in filigree swirl pattern. Instead of solid satin panels filling the gourd, each section spins out into curling spirals and loops, kinda like wrought iron scrollwork bent into a pumpkin shape. The brown wood-grain stem caps the top and a single curly green tendril shoots off the upper left. Open negative space inside the swirls lets the fabric breathe through.

Three colours, two colour changes. Stitch range starts at 14,694 on the smallest 3.21-inch width and climbs to 31,345 on the largest 6.86-inch. Density holds at 608 because the work runs as line stitching rather than dense fill, that means it sits real flat on linen and waffle weave without puckering. Ive digitised it in professional embroidery software with satin column work on every swirl line so each loop carries a real ribbon weight to it instead of reading flat.

One customer told me her mum stitched a set of six on cream waffle tea towels last november, one for each thanksgiving placesetting at the family dinner. She used a single layer of tearaway because waffle weave is stable enough on its own without a heavy stabiliser. Said her mum was suprised how gonna-be-impressive it looked stitched up compared to the flat preview.

Stitch on cream, oatmeal, white, sage or navy fabric where the orange swirl work reads bold against the ground. Skip dark brown or deep red backgrounds, the orange just blends in. Pop a single layer of tearaway under waffle weave or linen, no cutaway needed because density is light. Hoop tight because the swirl satins react to fabric shifting mid-stitch. Try the largest 6.86-inch size as a centred motif on a cotton dish towel or a table runner panel and the filigree detail really shines through.
