In October my
quilt guild will hold an auction of handmade, baked or grown items. I started a couple of pumpkin placemats that
can be used for a lot of the fall season.
The leaves and pumpkin parts are fused.
The vine is couched yarn. I searched
my stash and first used a green.
It was really the wrong color so I ripped it off and found a
great brown hairy yarn.
I used a zigzag stitch to secure the appliques and add veins
on the leaves. I had trouble deciding on what to use for the border until I
decided on going scrappy. Quilting will wait a few days.
Hope you have had some fun on this Labor Day Holiday. I did.
Happy Sewing and
Really great.....glad you went with the brown yarn. Love the scrappy border to finish as it pulls out the pumpkin.
