The Philanthropic Pumpkin
This sweet pumpkin is what happens when 2 friends in a common industry put their heads together for a greater good.
The back story (you know I always have one…)
This project has been several years in the making through many conversations with Lois of Lady Dot Creates.
It started when I came clean to Lois about my ‘good intentions’ gone wrong with a donation to one her favorite charities (or lack thereof). I offered to work with her on one of her charitable endeavors then life, schedules,
treatments, Covid, the world…got in the way.
Enter a tiny pumpkin bead—well actually a whole lot of tiny pumpkin beads.
Lois being Lois, had bought out all she could find as she knew that I was powerless when faced with a pretty pumpkin.
We soon realized that this was a pretty powerful pumpkin and it could do quite a lot of good for some well deserving folks
A portion of every chartpack sold will be donated to the Sioux City Knights Special Olympics delegation as well as Special Olympics IA. (chartpack is $45 plus shipping)
This limited edition chartpack will not be re-released or distributed—a special pumpkin to celebrate a whole lot of special athletes.
Ordering on the websites will go live September 28th at 8:30am CST. Orders will be filled until all the chartpacks are sold. (The 1st 100 chartpacks will be available September 23-25 at Needlework Galleria)
Place your order on this website or Lady Dot Creates – we have divided the quantities of this Limited Edition chartpack to help ship faster. (This chartpack is only available on these 2 websites.)
This pumpkin makes me smile every time I see it—I hope it makes you smile too.
Enjoy the pumpkin-

I am so glad to see a projct like this and hope we will have more charts to purchase for charity events.It means so much to stitch things that have a story and help others!
Ive rec mine! It is ADORABLE and angels come in many forms. two lovely ladies help others enjoy what they love. Bravo may these youngsters enjoy their olympics!
Is there anyway to purchase the chart? I missed out n the chartpacks. So glad you did this for the Special Olympics, my husband just retired from teaching Special Education arter 32 years. He was devoted to his kids. He also helped out with the Special Olympics here in Tucson, Arizona.
Thank you Kelly, the Pumpkin was only available in kit format & was a Limited Edition. We made a lot of the kits but ultimately we were limited by some of the resources! Thank you! – c
