Texas Bluebonnet Pumpkin (JudyAnn and Lynn Mason)

Lynn Mason of Needlepoint by Sharese has a new stitch guide!  It's for the lovely blue and white floral pumpkin from JudyAnn.

You can get the guide from Lynn's Etsy store.  

JudyAnn has an Etsy store, too, but this canvas seems to be out of stock there.

Not to worry, you can buy it through JudyAnn's website.  Note that it comes in two sizes.  I suspect Lynn stitched the larger version.
