The fabric is 32ct Belfast Linen, hand dyed by Annette light grey.

The Thread Gatherer Silk - Chocolate Caramel for DMC 3371
And she  loved the suggestion of adding dimension by incorporating the Rhodes stitch AND she DID

I used a Zweigart rue green quaker linen, a Needle Necessities "fall foliage" for the leaves, a GAST copper for the pumpkins. The squares in the grass are smyrna crosses, and the pumpkins rhodes stitches
