Time to kickoff the stitch-along for Harvest Hues with the materials kits!
On Friday, I gave you a heads-up about the kit release happening today, and shared the project scope and kit information. You can read all these details in Friday’s article here.
Today, I don’t want to repeat everything we just talked about on Friday. Instead, I’m just popping in to remind you that the materials kits are now available in the shop, and the stitch-along will start next week.
Oh, ok, fine – I also wanted an excuse to show you this particular way that we’re using Harvest Hues:
So far, this is my favorite use of the leaves from Harvest Hues!
We’ll talk in more detail about various ways to use the leaves towards the end of the stitch-along, but just briefly, they make a fabulous addition to a wreath!
You can approach wreaths two ways: you can build your own wreath and use the leaves as part, or all, of the decorative foliage, or you can do what I did – tuck the leaves into the foliage of a pre-made wreath.
Once your leaves are made, this is a quick method of freshening up an older wreath or dressing up a new oen in a unique way.
And wonder of wonders! Your wreath will suddenly become a conversation starter and a perfect way to introduce your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers (anywhere you decorate for autumn) to the world of needlework. Trust me – people will notice your wreath and ask you about it!
Isn’t that fun!?
Go grab your materials kit for Harvest Hues and we will have those in the mail to you by midweek. We’ll start the stitch-along here on the website next week!

Coming Up
Later this week, I’ll be talking about a Very Particular fabric that’s used for a Very Particular type of needlework.
I’ll share updates on my current projects, and we have a few other tidbits to chat about, too.
Happy Monday!
I have printed the pdf for the harvest leaves. But where are the instructions on what stitches to use etc?? Have they not been posted. Much thanks Gracie
Hi, Gracie – Thanks for your note. A stitch-along develops over time. If you read the article that I linked to (it’s this one: https://www.needlenthread.com/2024/09/harvest-hues-materials-kit-coming-monday.html) it will explain what to expect in the stitch-along. I post approximately one lesson a week – sometimes more, depending on what we are covering. The next article won’t be out until the end of the week, to allow those who are still awaiting their kits to receive them in the mail.
Thanks for asking!
