The Leaves by Hundreds Came Cross Stitch Sampler Kit

October gave a party;The leaves by hundreds came - The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, And leaves of every name. The Sunshine spread a carpet, And everything was grand, Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band. —George Cooper   Fall is the sweetest, shortest season here in northwest Oregon. I can't stand hot weather and wait all summer for these cool, crisp days, where the air smells of earth and dry leaves. For this, the last of my 8" x 10" seasonal series, I wanted to honor the beauty of this rich, vibrant season, filled with busy activities and cozy details.
