I have a funny. As some of you know, every time I run into a quilting crisis I contact Dawn and she figures my problem out for me. She also gives me great color advice, etc. Last week Bonnie posted a fantastic string quilt. I loved it but immediately thought that I would want to avoid the set in seams. I thought about emailing Dawn to see if she knew how to make 8 pointed stars without set in seams but figured I had better give her a break, so I googled my question. Guess what, google led me to Dawn’s site where I got my answer. Now isn’t that crazy! So I ended up emailing Dawn anyway and she has instructed me on how to proceed. I figured before I was to start another project I need to finish some up. I have so many near the last stages and have just set them aside. This weekend was very productive for me. I finished 4 full size quilt tops, made my doll quilt swap top for my December swap and put together this little pumpkin quilt top. I also got all my little pieces sewed into blocks from my previous post and I am now in the process of tearing the paper off. That is definitely not a fun job!
Last week at Sossity’s she gifted me with this wonderful little embroidered pumpkin block. I just love it. It is so primitive looking. I fretted all week as to what I should do with it and decided that all it needed was a nice frame. It will be my next little hand quilting project.

Okay, you were way more productive than I was. I did get all the halooween tumblers blocks cut for a quilt from the fabric you sent. Thanks. With those and what I all ready had I think I am ready to start sewing that one. I also started a little embroidered piece from the same patterns as I made for you for Donovan's preschool teacher, so should be ready to quilt it tonight for a gift on Weds. I also cut out little treat bags for the kids in his class. They are having a party Weds. So really all I did was a small amount of cutting and no actual sewing.
Isn't Dawn the best? I find so much inspiration from her work.
That IS funny! But we are not surprised, are we!
That's a darling block...and will be perfect framed.
Oh how cute! The fabrics you used to frame it are perfect! It looks like something you would make! And cut it out, I always drool and like your stuff better than mine! We are a pair aren't we!
I love the "red work" on this quilt... or should we call it "orange work" ? Too cute! But then, I love anything with owls on it.
Thanks for sharing!

I love the Halloween stitchery, and I love what you did with it.
