Don't you just love the look of the DMC Variations in this one-I think the fiber worked well on this one giving a good range of Autumn colors :) I finished it into a round box. I think this one is going to BUZZ on out of the HIVE as well and find a new home :) I am running out of room :) LOL!

Becky, I love, love, love this design and finish!!!! I've seen these before but have never stitched one. I recently used some varigated DMC thread for an autumn design I did and was so pleased with it too. Another great finish for you - Yea for #85!!!! Meredith
Another beautiful finish...the DMC does look great.
Becky, I think this is my favorite of all that I have seen you do this year. I love JBW Designs! And the DMC Color Variations floss fits this one perfectly. I was just thinking of using that same color for a Thanksgiving freebie I had. LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!
Becky this is beautiful! I have never heard of the DMC Variations floss, I will have to look for that now! Love this one!
You stitch faster than I can write a comment! This is really nice and fall-like in those colors. Beautiful finish.
Oh my gosh I LOVE this one! :) JBW's French Country designs definitely call to me--you have finished it just perfectly and I love that DMC you chose! Don't you just love all the little motifs?
I should definitely pick some of these up soon. :)
I was so glad to hear that good news your shared with me--WTG for No. 85! :D
This is beautiful the design and the finish. Do you have a tutorial on this finish already?
Adorable. I love the variation in the floss.
Becky, where do you find the adorable little round, wooden(?) boxes?
They just keep getting cuter and cuter!Beth N. (stormybrew57@aol.com)
#85!! I'm so proud of you!! How fun that you allow us all to be a part of your journey. This finish is just lovely. I love all the little fall creatures that make up the bigger pumpkin! I have to tell you that you have really inspired me as I work on my dd's stocking. I've gotten *so* much done this week!! Thank you!
Blessings!
Tricia
Gorgeous!!!!
Oh, how often do you update the side-bar with how many we have stitched and/or finished for TGPC? I should have my third one stitched this weekend and plan to do some finishing. Yay!!
This is one of my favorite ones lately, I love the look of pumpkins and watermelons...not sure why
I really love this one.
I absolutely love the variations threads. I love what beauty they bring to each piece stitched with them.
Oh my goodness! It's just wonderful! Your finishes are always so amazing!
Another beautiful finish Becky. I love it. The variations threads are just gorgeous aren't they?
Another lovely finish Becky. Stunning. I love JBW Designs too. Michelle x
Becky,
That is truly a beautiful finish and design! Love it!
I really like using those DMC varigated threads too. They are just as nice as some of the other companies.
Adorable round box! Do tell where you find them??

Becky --
I just LOVE this finish. The box is absolutely beautiful. All your stitching is so inspiring. Keep those ideas coming:))))
Thanks for sharing.
That's a great design for the DMC variations. Really looks beautiful. And of course your finishing too! Nancy in NY Hedghogmom@aol.com
Aw, you're welcome ;-) You're too sweet!!
Love #85!! OMG! Only 15 to go...you're amazing! You make me wonder how many things I've stitched this year...maybe I need to make a challenge for myself like you did...I already know of a charity :)
Anyway, what a wonderful finish and I love it on the box, with that checkered ribbon!! Too cute!
xoxo
LOVE THIS! Great finish. I actually have this pattern....need to pull it out and get started.

What a terrific autumn finish, Becky! Great use of that DMC variation floss! Congratulations on #85 and cheering you on to 15 more!
Robin
Another wonderful finish! I know that you are going to make your goal!
Great finish! I love the JBW French Country designs. Love the way you finished it too.
The use of the DMC variation floss is brilliant. Love the finish.
Another beauty! Love the ways you finished all your projects.
Hugs,
another lovely finish.
What a great little box, Becky! I haven't tried those DMC Variations threads yet, but after seeing this finish I'm definitely going to make a point of buying some :)
I just love this one and Gasper too! Shoot - I just love everything you make Becky. You are so clever and creative.
Love this one. I really need to stitch this one now. Great finish.
OOoohhhh....I just love these JBW French Country Designs!!! Your pumpkin box is now one of my favorites of your finishes.
I stitched thier apple some time ago.
Way to go Becky, only 15 more ... you can do it!
This one is a beauty too. I notice this ribbon has popped up in a lot of your recent finishes, you must have rolls of it!
Hugs

Another wonderful finish Becky! I've missed a few of your blog posts, but a quick look shows me that you've been so busy. Just love everything, especially the acorn!!
EXCELLENT finish! Love the design, and I think it is on my pile of pumpkins to do this coming week! :)
Hugs!
What a great finish. If you used DMC4310, then I so love this color. I use it quite often in my stitching.
As always, you are an inspiration! In fact, because of you I've pulled out the ornaments I've stitched over the past few years and starting this weekend I'm having 'Finishing Frenzy' where I finish at least one a week so that they will be on my tree this Christmas!
Becky, that is a gorgeous way to finish that design!
I stitched that design a few years ago for my aunt along with several of the other French Country fruit designs. I had them framed and they are on the wall in her dining room.
I agree! The variegated threads are gorgeous on JBW Designs!
Whoever is lucky enough to have this treasure 'buzz' their way will enjoy it I have no doubt!!
Thanks for sharing your pics with us!
What a great finish! I'm stitching right now the same design...I'm still thinking how to finish it. Congratulations on #85!
Hugs,
Michelle
What a gorgeous, gorgeous finish! You do amazing work! I love to look at all of the things you finish!
Becky, I've been off-line for a few days and have just caught up. Your latest finishes are great! I love the JBW design. The colors are so pretty and it is fun finding all the little motifs. The box finish is lovely. I'm routing for you to make your goal!
Hi Becky!
I finished this same design for the pumpkin challenge using the same thread but I finished like a cube. Turned out really cute.
The problem is that I can't upload the picture. Not on the pumpkin album,not on my blog,not on the smalls blog.
I love this design and the way you finished it. Just lovely!
I will post my pumpkin when I find out what's going on.
Love from California.
I love this one! Beautiful colours!
Becky, this is great! I love it!
Have you used DMC4124?
May be you have a tutorial how to make this finishing? I am especially interesting in how do you hold on the linen to the lid?
Another fabulous finish! That thread is perfect for it. Great job. :)
Lovely finish - JWB is one of my favorite designers. That box turned out really cute.
Sweet finish! The variations really are lovely on this one.
This box is beautiful!
Oh, I Love it, Becky Bee! I really need to get this chart! Lovely, lovely stitching and finishing as always! You continue to amaze and inspire me with your creative skills! Thanks Hun! :) Blessings and Love in stitches...
Another cute one - great job!!
Love it Becky!!
I just pulled this pattern out yesterday to start working on in between exchanges.
It must be a sign that I NEED to do it! lol
Hugs
Love how you finished this one. Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful finish Becky. I absolutely love the colour, it suits the design down to a tee.
Another wonderful finish Becky. Seeing yours has reminded me that I have already stitched this piece but have not finished it into anything yet. I think I will try to remedy that this weekend :-)
I really liked what you said about it being such a shame to spend all the time stitching a piece for it to then sit out of site in a box awaiting finishing. That is what I do most of the time, especially with the bigger pieces. So from now on I am going to *try* to fully finish more of the pieces I stitch and I will also be raiding my stitched pile and finishing some of those too :-)
Thank you for your inspiration x
Wow! Sooo pretty...I love the combo of the thread color & the stained box color...just right for Fall :)
Have you seen the pumpkin cross stitch project in the Oct. issue of Create & Decorate, your project reminds me alot of it. Have a great day. TTYL.
Smiles, DianeM
Becky - I absolutely adore this box! I think I have that pattern somewhere - must check it out. I will also search the craft stores for boxes whilst I'm in Florida!
I love these French country designs too, Becky. I just kitted up the turkey last night! Great job on the finishing as usual. You are accumulating tons of awesome Fall decorations this year.
Wow - I posted a comment, and it disappeared. Dunno. What I wanted to say was I really love this piece and of course, your finishing. I also wanted to say that you have successfully enabled me. I am heading over to DSL to see what she has in JBW's. I have seen other of her designs and have thought I would like to do them, but have never taken the step. After seeing this piece, I am ready to jump off that cliff - hehehehe.
Thanks for the enabling, I think...
Hi Becky,
I just had the great fortune to stumble upon your blog. When I am in desperate need for needlework eye candy, I will just come and visit :) Your finishes are absolutely lovely!! Your stitching room is awesome too, it is my dream to have something like that someday:)
Take care,
Sara in Illinois
This is a really nice piece and a beautiful finish. I love the way the thread works with the design.
How lovely! I really need to drag this pattern out of my stash and stitch it. Thank you for the finishing inspiration, too!
Crista
Another wonderful finish Becky. Keep up your great stitching, you're storming towards your target :) Happy stitching to you.
Love the design and finish! You are so talented...I think you will meet your 100 mark!
Beautiful
Fabulous DMC and finishing. Really love this one as I am fond of Autumn, squirrels, dogs, and birds.
Hope all is well with you and yours, Becky.
Ooh, I really LOVE the DMC variations thread with this pumpkin - might have to look into that thread again myself, I'd forgotten about that one! I've adored all your autumn/pumpkin finishes, but this is a real stunner :D
