Picks of the Patch

Robbie Herring

I couldn't resist pulling out my Whoo-ligans for this cute pumpkin patch picture.

Quick, simple and prefectly acceptable.

 Now add some strands of embroidery floss as extra borders and around the picture. 

Next, stitch with purple thread around the Noteworthy.

Really add some impact with big flowers and buttons. 

The last little detail is the dots done with slick paint.

Here are a couple of close-ups:
