Jack Tumbler
Diane of Butterfly Threads sent me a set of her tumbler templates. Thanks Diane! She manufactured these and they are great.
here is how my design progressed:
This is how I move my rows from the wall to the sewing machine.

If there is a way I can mess it up, I still do. Ooops!
Hope you have a great quilting week!
Here he is before pieced. He shrunk quite a bit.
Here is a doll quilt I started in a car trip to the Vermont Quilt Show in 2012. I'm hand quilting it and is my take along project.
Great pumpkin {Charlie Brown}! I just bought a tumbler template to make a scrap quilt. I might just have to re-think that. Hand quilting, I am so impressed!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute pumpkin Ms. Fun! I have yet to make a tumbler quilt -- maybe I'll do that next as a quick diversion before I start a more detailed project. They do look so fun!
ReplyDeleteJack, is pretty darn cute. And I love the green backgrounds for your doll quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun jackolantern quilt!! Love the background on the doll quilt. Are you still hand quilting it? 2012? :)
ReplyDeletegreat Jack o'lantern!
ReplyDeleteLove your tumbler pumpkin! What a great idea. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh that pumpkin face!! I just move dot my to do list :). Love it!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I may be a bit biased, but that's the cutest pumpkin EVER!! I'm going to have to make one now!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had fun with the templates!
ps. This kinda made my whole day! :)
What a fun project for Halloween! I never would have thought to use tumblers for a Jack o'lantern.

ReplyDeleteVery cute idea for the pumpkin! Very creative. Love the little hexie quilt too. Very bright and fun.
ReplyDeleteHow clever! Your tumbler pumpkin is delightful. What a wonderful fall accent.
ReplyDeleteFancy thinking if a jack o lantern made from tumblers!! That's so clever! he looks wonderful with that big smiley face. Your dolls quilt is so lovely, I especially love the green backgrounds. When you say dolls quilt I wonder how big it is, it's hard to tell in photos sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThat Jack is so cute!!! I never would have tought about using tumblers...but I love them. I have a bunch, but no orange. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe hexies are so sweet, but you know I love the hexies right? All hexies, all sizes.
Happy halloween
Aren't you clever with the tumbler template! and I love your little hexagons :)

Both quilts are very fun! It's fun to see all those darks and all those oranges together, making a happy Jack O. I love the doll quilt, especially with that top row having a different background.
ReplyDeleteI love the pumpkin. I also move pieces from one place to another on a ruler, which is OK until you tilt the ruler slightly, and they all fall off!
ReplyDeleteThat is pumpkin funness for sure :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the green ground on your little Hexie quilt too.
All great fun!
The Great Pumpkin will be pleased to know you've made a quilt in his honor--he's terrific looking!
ReplyDeleteFun doll's quilt, too. I like how you purposely keep a hand project around; I need to learn to do that too.
