No. 100 “Termination dust” is the first snow of the upcoming winter season, often only a dusting. It announces the end of summer and the impending arrival of the long winter. “Denali” is the native name for Mt. McKinley, and is used by many Alaskans. At 20,320 feet, it’s the highest mountain in North America. The fall colors on the tundra are at their peak, but winter is coming soon.

Lifelike multi-colored leaves, acorns, berries, tiny "alder cones," a maple seed pod, and a ladybug bring the vivid colors of Fall indoors, without tracking in dirt.
Overdyed threads from The Gentle Art add to the natural look, varying subtly and randomly. I used a "blob" stitching technique to take advantage of the fibers' natural shading ability. Read our Overdyed Threads Tutorial if you'd like to do the same.
The Gentle Art provides a thread pack for this pattern to make fiber selection a snap. Ask for it at your local independent needlework shop.
