Autumn is my absolute favourite season – I love the tricolours of leaves and crunchy forest walks, feeling the crisp air on my cheeks.

I equally love that it’s finally acceptable to put on my favourite cosy jumper, make a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate, wrap up in a blanket and sit embroidering or reading on the sofa!

But I also love the creativity I feel at this time of year.

Autumnal colours and designs are my fave – queue the pumpkins, toadstools and rusty orange vibes!!

This month’s pattern for the Bloom Embroidery Academy was no exception. Here’s a little peek at Toadstool House that just dropped in the Academy!



I had sooooo much fun with this one. It is a perfect way for my members to practice their long and short stitch, and I think it created such lovely texture on the house itself.

So, that’s exactly where we started! The house took quite a while because it’s quite a time-consuming stitch, but it turned out super cute, don’t you think?!



I don’t know what it is about the fishbone stitch, but I find it super relaxing. I think because it’s a stitch I do so often, it just feels so therapeutic because I don’t have to think about it all that much!

With the tricolour leaves that happen at this time of year, I wanted to emulate that in this design. So, we had green, orange and pink (yes, pink!) leaves. Hey, it’s art, I can make them whatever colours I like!



Last up was the toadstools. Eeek, I love stitching toadstools! I went for red and pink toadstools, just to bring in some of the colour from the leaves. We practiced a bit more of the long and short stitch here, but I know Satin Stitch would work here too!



And there we have it, the super cute Toadstool House that we alllll wish we could live in! (No? Just me? Hehe)

Do you want this pattern for yourself?
