Embroidered Pumpkin Project - Part One

In a previous post {here}, I mentioned that the next motif I was planning to embroider was this pumpkin.  This is from my Thanksgiving embroidery pattern set.  

I am going to use the Jacobean Couching Stitch to fill the pumpkin.  I hope this will look good and not too busy! I started on one section and as you can see, I used large Straight Stitches under the diagonal lines that will be couched.  There is a lot going on and there are six more sections to fill on the pumpkin.  

I am also starting in on some Christmas projects.  I will post some updates on these new projects as well!
