Pumpkins and Place Mats

Fall is my favorite time of year! Many wonderful events happen in fall for me and my family. Both of my children were born in the fall, my husband and I were born in the fall and I was sealed to my hubby for time and all eternity in the fall. There are many other wonderful things I love about fall...the cooler weather, the brilliant color of fall leaves, sweaters, hot chocolate, Thanksgiving, pumpkin cake...the list can go on and on...

I just picked up my "Pumpkins 4 Sale" wall hanging just in time for fall. Take a look at the quilting. Andrea is one the most talented long arm quilters' I know . I took a few close-up pictures of her stitching so you can get a good look. Isn't it wonderful?!!


Now on to place mats...while I was at Christmas Goose I picked up a copy of "Quilts & Gifts" from American Patchwork & Quilting's favorite picks. It has a lot of fun and dazzling projects of gifts for every occasion. When I saw the pattern for these place mats I knew I had the perfect gift for my cousin's daughter who is getting married in a few weeks. I am pleased on how they turned out. I hope she likes them!




I have finished all my Stitchers' Angel projects and they are ready to to be shipped off to someone far, far away. I will give you a sneek peek soon. FUN FUN FUN!!

Piece & love,
Dawn

I have that wall-hanging, only I made it into a valance for my kitchen window. I saw the picture of it in a magazine and just kind of made my own pattern. What pattern did you use? I can't believe we have the same wall hanging--cool!! Have a great day. Julie
