How about yo yos as pumpkins/squash? Or you could add decorative buttons- there are a lot of seasonal ones out there.
Something to keep the turkey company . Or... how about if everyone in the family signs their name in the white area the first time you use it? Then you have a year to embroider them until next Thanksgiving.

Used my paint Shop program to show use this idea....was easier than trying to describe it.
Applique the pumpkins and leaves, embroider vines...

I like the leaves and acorns idea. Hadn't thought about that. Thanks.

Thank you all for your ideas. Maybe I'll make another row of feathers for the turkey (right after I get another charm pack of "gobble gobble" fabric! I used up all I had.
Any bets on whether this is done by Thanksgiving? It will be close. :)
