I decided just before lunch to grab my scrap box and make a small table top quilt with them. I have lots of scrumptious autumn homespuns left from a large quilt I made. They are just small scraps but worked just perfectly to make this little quilt.
It measures 9 inches by 11 inches. I cut out the pieces for the green pumpkin freehand with a green tweed fabric and appliqued them onto a piece of light beige brushed cotten. I then frayed the sides and sewed it with a large stitch to the patchwork.
The seams were zigzagged to quilt them. I had fun putting this together and it only took a couple of hours. I am pleased with it.
Of course, Dagi has been helping me all afternoon so he had to make sure I had it layed out well for the photos too. *grins*
Two quilt finishes in one week...woohoo!
Have a creatively inspired weekend!

Ohhhhhh I love that, it is so cute. what a great job you did. You should tell Jos thanks for throwing you out of the living room.
Dagi looks so much better this picture. He is so beautiful.
Have a good day and I know you are waiting to see your brick wall tomorrow.
I am off to treatment.
Love you, Mom
Lovely! You do work fast...or perhaps no one interrupts you!
I love, love, love it!! You're just so talented!!
Oh, you did that in just a few hours? Wow. That's amazing. And gorgeous.

It's wonderful, Heidi. Maybe your Mom is right and Jos should banish you to your sewing room more often. Two finishes in a week is terriffic!
Aren't the colors of Autumn the best?
Ah, to be banished to the sewing room. Sounds wonderful to me!

Dat is geen straf om te worden verbannen naar je naaikamertje. Het quiltje is erg mooi geworden.
Oh Heidi, wat geweldig dat je zoiets zomaar 'uit je mouw schudt'. Ben gewoon een beetje jaloers op jouw tweede finish van de week. Maar of ik ervoor uit de woonkamer gestuurd wil worden...dat ligt voor mij toch wat gevoelig.... Ik heb mijn quakerbord weer opgepakt, eerst wat uitgehaald en nu met plezier weer verder.
Heerlijk herfst sfeertje !!!
Mooie werkstukjes !

Mijn geluid staat niet altijd aan :-)

So much fun, in so little time.
Sometimes I want to stop with work and just go on quilting.
But,.... I have to bring home some money.
Can't you tell me now?? You made me curious! I can come over tonight for some coffee??....
hallo Heidi,
ik heb JCS christmas ornaments besteld bij 123 stitch (binnen week in huis), maar je kunt hem ook bij http://www.anitalittlestitches.blogspot.com/ bestellen en volgens mij heeft crownstitches (Nederland!) hem ook.
groetjes,
Anneke
