There's something perfectly matched about autumn evenings and needlepoint. As the light fades earlier and the air turns crisp, a warm drink and a seasonal stitching project make for the cosiest way to spend an evening indoors.
Bring autumn colours into your home
Rich reds, burnt oranges and golden yellows are a joy to stitch and even lovelier to live with. An autumnal pillow instantly warms up a sofa or armchair, carrying the colours of the season right through until winter.
A little seasonal fun
Autumn is also the season of Halloween, and a seasonal cushion is a charming, non-spooky way to mark it — think warm foliage, harvest tones and cosy woodland scenes rather than anything frightening. It's a lovely piece to bring out each year as the leaves turn.
Start early to enjoy it in time
A 16″ × 16″ pillow is very achievable in a few relaxed weeks. If you'd like to have your seasonal cushion finished and on display for autumn, starting in late summer or early September gives you plenty of unhurried stitching time.
