A satisfying way to end the week! This little project began (in my head!) last Wednesday as the perfect gift for an upcoming special day. The idea was inspired by a cute little quilt in this magazine: Are you familiar with it? I am but have bypassed it cuz it has more wool projects than fabric and I really don’t need any more wool stash. Anyhow, this piece was the idea “seed”
. These pumpkins are so attractive! So, for a table topper, I took just 2 with a blank center square, making room for a centerpiece spot in the center of the table.
Almost forgot to ‘flip’ the pumpkin on the opposite end!
Finished, it measures 14”x 38”…perfect. Simple grid and echo stitching worked well for the background….really brought it alive! I double batted the areas under the pumpkins for additional ‘poof’. Hobbs Heirloom cotton/poly batting with wool for the areas that got the 2nd layer. Quilted with Connecting Threads Essential Pro poly, 70 wt. The backing
. The finish:
Have an awesome weekend! I think there’s some more (secret) stitching in my future……….

Oh that is gorgeous! I love the green vine curls. I don’t know about you but I am sure missing our long arm meetings.
Yes. I’m thankful that the other groups I belong to have continued to meet.
That is just lovely Doreen!
Thank you. As soon as I finish with the next quilt I’m hoping to make one for me……..maybe. Most of the fabrics I used are totally used up with that finish. Hugs……………
Just gorgeous! Love it.
It did turn out well……the golden Autumn loveliness that I love, too. Thanks so much for stopping by!
This is darling! I love how you ‘poofed’ the pumpkins more. It will certainly help the special day be even more special!
I think it will. I might have to search my stash to make one for myself………I really like the warm/glowing Autumn colors!!! Great to have you stop by…….hugs……..
