pumpkin coasters and pumpkin placemats, never too many pumpkins!

I love sewing pumpkins!

And no, I do not have too many pumpkins!

I made paper pieced quilted coasters:

The pattern is from Joe, June and Mae,

I kept playing with different fabrics to have traditional orange

pumpkins, white and blue pumpkins,

they look quite nice with my new pumpkin quilt:

I also sewed some pumpkin placemats,

using mushroom fabric!

Mixing 2 of my favorite genres!

Another easy sew, the pattern is from Minki Kim.I even made a pumpkin shaped rye bread, very delicious!

And since I had a couple extra blocks from the big quilt,

I sewed a few more and made a simple table runner,

with some other fabric:

And yes our house is still full of pumpkins....at least for another week!
Happy sewing!

pumpkin kisses quilt: 102 pumkins!

It has been a while since I made a large quilt,

I sewed many smaller quilts and projects,

but not a large quilt.

I saw that quilt on IG and right away I wanted to make it,

and even more surprising I wanted to make it in with these fabrics,

so I bought a kit, which I have not done in years!

The pattern is Pumpkin Kisses by Coach House Designs.

 

It was quite an easy sew, but lots of pumpkins,

102 precisely!

Then lot of rows,

and finally a big quilt!

(before adding 2 borders!)

Finding space to pin the back and batting is always

a challenge, but with both kids in college,

I get to use some of their floor space!

I kept the quilting simple, just in the ditch,

and hand stitched the binding,

I found that part quite relaxing even with Bosco's help!

Finally I took my new quilt to the botanical garden for some pictures,

normal stuff!

Happy sewing!
