A crowded harvest still life fills the scene edge to edge: orange and green-striped pumpkins and ornamental gourds, a large turban squash, russet pears, dark green acorn squashes and three clusters of dusty purple grapes. They rest on a sheer, crumpled grey-cream cloth spread over a vintage floral carpet of brick-red, rust, cream and blue-grey scrollwork.

The scene is built from tiny diagonal wool stitches in a regular grid, with the cream canvas showing between them and subtle colour steps modelling each form. Soft, even light and gently faded, dusty colour give it a warm, nostalgic, woolly textile feel.
