I hosted a little sewing day last week and we made these cute little wool pumpkins.
From the left is Pauline's (love the white pumpkin!), then mine (which I enlarged slightly) and Susan's.
Nothing I love more than a table full of sewing supplies -
The Pattern came from the bo0k, Pumpkin Patch, that I won on Kelly's blog, Pinkadot Quilts. She always has something fun going on there!
Here is a close up of Susan's.
Of course we made a little time for lunch and a slice of green apple pie. I love to bake apple pie because it makes the whole house smell good this time of year.
Here are the 2 that I completed.
I have added a tab under my header for a free pattern of the coffin needle book. It is about the same size as the pattern I drafted, but it changed slightly when we added it to blogger.
You can print it and make it any size you wish, or I can send you a pdf file by email.
I'd love to see photos if you make one these fun needle books.
Very cute Barb -- it looks like you ladies had a fun day. How could you not, with apple pie???
ReplyDeleteApple pie and wool pumpkins?! A winning combination for sure!!

Looking at the first picture, I thought the pumpkins were small. I see in further down pictures that they are good bit bigger than I first thought. The stitches are so well done. I don't know if I could do so well. What a fun day it must have been.

ReplyDeleteThe pumpkins are so cute but what really has me drooling is the plate the pie is on! Can you post a picture of the dish? I have the blue Currier and Ives dishes and never saw brown dishes like this one. The plate has me intrigued...
ReplyDeleteHi Barb!
ReplyDeleteIt seems I have a thing for your woolen projects! I love the pumpkins and fondly remember the woolen primitive house!
