There is always a corn maze, a hay ride, and even a peanut-covered caramel apple for mama, which I eat with absolute delight, knowing that fall has arrived. It is a season of beauty and sweetness all its own. This piece is stitched on 32-count linen (that's 16 stitches per inch) with two-plies of DMC six-ply cotton embroidery floss.
