I Designed A Mini Quilt and another Pumpkin

I love fall and since I didn't have a fall quilt to display,

I decided to design my own mini quilt.  I put this quilt

together last year and wanted to share it with you.  The

stitching on the yellow squash didn't turn out as intended,

so when I can find the right thread I'll hand stitch it.  Other

than that I'm happy with the end result.  

Finished  10/2009

Measures  20" X 17.5"

The pumpkin on the right is a new mock-up design 

I made last night, made from felt.  Can you tell
I'm having another love fest with pumpkins this year? 

  

I have this infatuation with pumpkins, maybe it's the

seasonal color orange, it's such a happy color.   

Have you seen the new "Sharpening Edge" rulers by Sullivan's?

Pat Sloan helped design this new set of rulers.  Check out her

demonstration here.   I picked this one up on sale recently on 

a quilt shop hop.  It sharpens your ruler as you cut and it seems

to be helping my overly used dull blade.  Good Tip - Try 

turning the blade over and use the other side to get some extra 

life out of that blade.  Careful don't cut those fingers.  

See those orange letters I cut out?  I'm working on another fall 

quilt this one a UFO and I've been motivated to get it completed.

 I'll be back to share the top with you soon.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day!
