Did you get at least one end of your runner done? Working on it during football games, I’ve been able to get the leaves stitched down, and begin the embellishments on one end. Here is where we left off last week, with the shapes pinned in place.
I really love the Aurifil wool thread!! It embeds beautifully and make the stitches practically invisible!
Once you have the shapes stitched down, use matching colors of DMC floss to add the details such as the leaf veins and the pumpkin lines. I pulled these colors to go with the wools I am using – 730 Olive Green Very Dark, 680 Old Gold Dark, 801 Coffee Brown Dark, 301 Mahogany Medium, 3777 Terra Cotta Very Dark, 920 Copper Medium, and 814 Garnet Dark.
I use a back-stitch to add the leaf veins. When I finish all the details, I’ll add some seed beads to give it a bit of shine.
I’ll have to revisit this stitch along in November. I just have had too much to do during this past week to finish it yet. I have a backlog of quilt repairs to finish, and I want to get them all done and shipped out so I can concentrate on holiday sewing next month.

The embroidery really makes the wool project come alive. Looks great!
I don’t have a favourite craft book but I am a quilt magazine junkie.
Lovely project! And I am intrigued by embroidery threads stored in individual bags with easy to read labels. Looks like I have two projects now – one creative and one organizational.
I’ve never worked with wool, but I love this project.
I’m anxious to start a project in wool. This looks like a fun “beginner” project!
You sound very busy!! I feel the same! Your stitching looks beautiful.
any of my Bonnie Hunter books. I love making scrap quilts.
It’s getting cool enough here to think about sitting in front of the fire and doing some hand stitching.
I am heading to my local quilting supply shop to buy wool remnants! Fun project!
There are too many to pick from! Right now I am enjoying a more recent publication Smash Your Precut Stash by Kate Colleran.
I subscribe to C&T Publishing, so I saw this book in a recent email. It is definitely on my wish list. I am so used to seeing buttonhole stitch for applique that I forgot there were other options (especially when matching thread is used.) I really do need to dig out my wools and get started!
You do beautiful work! Thanks for sharing and the great giveaways!
Too many choices in craft books! I’m a big fan of both Bonnie Hunter & Doug Leko, But also now dabbling in wool, so Bonnie Sullivan has to also make the list.
Thanks for posting some embroidery designs. Now I think I am able to place my appliques in a better position before stitching. The inspiration pics were very helpful.
Like the tip about using wool thread.
I love any of Bonnie Hunter’s quilt books (lover of fat quarters and scrap quilts). Also love the quilt and wool patterns by Lisa Bongean.
I love Civil War quilts and repro fabric patterns in books.
I love working with wool.
I am going to be new to wool applique.I just bought some kits to do for Christmas and we will see if I enjoy the process. I have found I really enjoy sewing by hand.
Your wool project is going to be pretty. I am intrigued by the wool appliqué, but haven’t tried it yet. I do, however, enjoy hand stitching.
There are so many great books. It would be tough to choose a favorite. I suppose the one I go to most often are my resource and technique books.
Beautiful fabric colors in this one–so evocative of autumn in the Hills…hugs, Julierose
I love wool applique. The purple and red wools really enhance the other fall colored wools. What a great project!
Wool applique is my favorite thing to do, I mostly do mine with a blanket stitch.
Jaquie Gering’s book Walk has been very helpful.
Right now my favorite quilt book is Autumn bouquet by Sharon Keightley..
Your table runner is looking wonderful!
I have never worked with wool, but I do love the look of it!
And Autumn is definitely my favourite season!
I would love to have the artful embroidery on canvas book!
I’ve never tried wool applique, but your table runner is looking beautiful. Such pretty stitches! I make a lot of quilts so my favorite books are the Moda All Stars series of books.
I have lots of (mostly) quilt books and can’t say that I have a favorite, but I do enjoy scrap quilts. Haven’t done any wool projects, but several of our quilt group members are very into it.
Your wool applique is lovely, I have just begun working in wool and find it a little intimidating but I push on since practice makes the stitching improve.
Oh my favorite craft book I would have to say is Gail Pan’s Patchwork Loves Embroidery
I can’t pick one!!! But I have done a lot of projects from The Big Book of Table Toppers!
I would be Simple Blessings, by Kim Diehl. Over the years I have referred to this book for inspiration in color and design so much that it is literally falling apart!
My favorite quilting book is Free Motion Quilting by Angela Walters. Your needle work is really making your applique look fabulous!!
My favorite quilt book is probably Spelling Bee by Lori Holt….at least at the moment.
I am a domestic machine quilter, so I frequently refer to Angela Walters machine quilting books for inspiration!
In keeping with the season, my favorite book is All for Fall by Bonnie Sullivan.
I often refer to “Quilts, Quilts, Quilts” by McClun and Nownes; they’ve put so much info into one book and it’s been around for 25 years!
I am a “browser”. I do not have a favorite craft book but like to revisit magazines and books for inspiration. My tastes have definitely evolved over the years and projects I overlooked previously often become more interesting with another look.
Love all of your fall ideas!
Your wool stitchery is so pretty, Carole! I need to build up my wool stash so that I can do more of that.
No favorite book, but do love any kind of arts & crafts mags! Thank you!
I haven’’t made it to the fabric store yet but this is on my project list!
I have too many favorites– now to just start
Oh I love so many quilting and craft books.
Your table runner is such a pretty piece; perfect for Fall. The embroidery stitching is lovely and I love the thought of beads added to this pretty to add a little bit of shine and sparkle.
Great giveaway! I just love your blog. I’m a new follower, can’t believe I haven’t ran across it before and especially being a Carolina girl myself!!
I am enjoying watching your progress on this one.
i love my nancy halvorsen books!
My favorite craft book at the moment is Three Dimensional Applique and Embroidery Embellishment.
Your little wool piece is sweet. I do love Lori holts books.
Autumn and wool projects go together so well. The book looks inspiring as does your project.
I love this project. Working on it💕. Thank you for your work!
Another excellent post. A new Publishing company sounds exciting 😊
I really like C & T publishing.. They have many titles I’d love to have. Thanks for the opportunity.
“Liberated Quiltmaking” (either edition) by Gwen Marston is my favorite quilt book. I find it so inspiring, and turn to that book–or any of Gwen’s other “liberated” books, to jump-start my creative thinking when I am stuck, or feeling low.
Your wool project is going to be gorgeous! My current favorite book is Sue Spargo’s Creative Stitching. Thanks for Autumn Jubilee!
Your colours are so wonderfully rich looking – it is going to be beautiful. And the book looks fascinating – the wools and stitching give everything a lovely softness. I have to pick up a wool project (Purrfectly Pieced) I started last year, that got put aside for the summer. Thanks for sharing your progress.
Choosing a favorite quilt or craft book would be like picking a favorite child!
Love the colours you have chosen for the table runner.
Such a wonderful seasonal runner! I have not made a wool project in a while…maybe it is time!
Fall is my favorite time of year, the lovely leaves and pumpkins. This is the perfect project!
My current favorite Book is the Temecula Quilt Company’s latest book.
I am going to do some wool work this year! I have been saving all my scraps, and I think I can finally do something with a Christmas theme. 🙂
Great project! I have never tried anything with wool. You inspire me.
I have too many fav books but ones with great photos and lots of how to directions always make me happy!!!
Hi Carole,
Well, here we are in an extreme drought and still no rain here where I’m at. Didn’t have any luch with my flowers without the rain and money is so tight right now so most of the things I planted didn’t make it.
Didn’t you do something similar to this recently about 2 or 3 yrs. ago? You have done so many things you are hard to keep up with at times. Have a terrific week.
Phyllis
Your photos make me want to work with wool! I love the textured look!
My favorite quilt book is Tula Pink’s City Sampler. I’ve made all 100 blocks and loved all but one! It was really tricky!

I love this runner and the colors. I won’t be starting anything for another week or so. Autumn Jubilee runs concurrently with the largest festival that I’m a vendor at each year. So, I’m always behind on the jubilee! Thank you for the giveaway!!
I have my leaf shapes cut out but want to find some purple or magenta wool scraps. I see how beautiful the purple leaves you have used accentuate the brightness of the overall colors. Imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery.
…My favorite quilting craft book right now is A Treasury of Embroidery Stitches…
To figure out my favorite craft book, I’d have to figure out my favorite craft! I will say I have used and used and used Carole Samples’ book Treasury of Crazy Quilt Stitches, and always find something to inspire me. Thanks so much for the suggestions here and the chance to win from C & T. Thanks to C & T for offering a prize!
I am crazy about quilting books. Love them all. Right now I am reading Red and White Quilts so that’s my favorite.
I’ve been eyeing this book!
Love the step by step instructions! and the colors!!!
Complete Photo Guide to Knitting is a good one for newbies
Oh how I love wool projects! I’m a little behind this season, but loving all the projects you present to us, Carole, and your interesting blog posts. C&T Publishing has some very wonderful books; glad they are a new affiliate and look forward to your presenting their books. Happy day!
