My latest embroidered pattern for the autumn stitching club is this gourd! I’ll be honest with you, I don’t really know what a gourd is. Is it like a funny shaped courgette? Me and James once bought a bitter gourd from the exotic vegetable section in Morrisons and used it in a curry – it was pretty gross but we could have been cooking it wrong!
I can’t believe I only have two more patterns to go until I can sew all these smiley autumn objects into a cushion. I’m psyched to have the finished project on my sofa!
Pumpkins and squashes are gourds. And some gourds have hard shells and can be dried and made into vases and things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gourd. I’ll look forward to seeing this finished project!
Thanks for explaining that one, I had no idea either
This look so cute
Aww how adorable! I wish I was crafty and could do such cute things
These will look great as a pillow – well done you!
