Cross-Stitch for Decorative Gourd Season

by

I love fall and I also love snark so I am always thrilled when it’s time for the decorative gourd season post from McSweeney’s to start making the rounds (don’t click if you don’t like swearing).

A slightly sweeter way to show your love for seasonal gourds in cross-stitch is this Hello Gourd-geous design from Spot Your Colors.

This sweet little design is great for beginners and fits in a six-inch hoop. Grab the pattern on etsy for $5.50.
