About this pattern

The words GIVE THANKS in bold rust-brown block capitals on two lines, GIVE above THANKS. Under them an orange pumpkin with copper ribs, a short stalk and a dark brown outline stands between two upright ears of golden wheat, one on each side, each with three bristles at the top and a thin straight stalk. The pumpkin and the two ears mirror left to right. There is no date and no name. Full crosses only. It is 50 by 53 stitches and uses six thread colors.

50 stitches wide by 53 high: 1,090 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Red Copper 919, Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Medium Old Gold 729 and 3 more).
