The Symbolism of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is associated with many symbols that date back to the very first celebration of the occasion.
The Horn of Plenty
Often called a Cornucopia, the Horn of Plenty is a popular Thanksgiving table decoration. It is a horn-shaped container, traditionally a goat’s horn, which is filled with a variety of harvest fruits. This symbol of Thanksgiving has its origins in Greek mythology and makes for a wonderful embroidery design due to the variety of colors and textures you can use.
Here is how you can create your own by Martha Stewart.
Pumpkins
It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie! These cuddly-looking vegetables are particularly associated with the season and make cute embroidered home decorations, thanks to their bright orange color and round shape.

Turkey
When the Pilgrims first sat down with the Wampanoag Indians, it is known that fowl were on the menu. It is also recorded historically that the settlers hunted wild turkeys during the fall of 1621. Turkey has been part of the traditional Thanksgiving meal ever since Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863. This is a golden opportunity to really get creative with your embroidery. For instance, you can stick to a traditional, realistic-looking design, or choose a cartoon turkey nervously awaiting his fate!

Fall Leaves
Red, gold, and brown leaves are yearly reminders of the harvest season, and the gradual changing of hues that occurs each fall is one of nature’s most spectacular sights. You can experiment with texture and different stitching styles when embroidering corn designs, and they make attractive, subtle decorations.
Quilting really lends itself to using the autumn leaves theme with its many shades of colors. Find the tutorial for this beautiful table runner here.
