Will you look at this? A finish; a quilt finish at that! This is about 24"x 36" and makes a perfect little table topper. It is a pattern from Crab-apple Hill Studio. Can you believe that it is totally hand quilted. Astounding!
It's been a busy week-end at La Casa del Quilter. I got this little quilt done and I finished up the Four Season's Quilt Swap round 5 quilt. No sneak peak. I'm going to mail it out after Valentines Day so you will just have to wait to see it. I also got the third QOV top almost together. Well, it is a D9P so all I have to do is sew the blocks back together. Tucked in here and there have been a few knitted stitches on the socks on the needles. They are nothing spectaclar, just some tube socks. Can't wait to finish these. I did a seed stitch rib just to keep from getting as bored as I did doing the last pair of tube socks.
I realize that I need to stop creating tops and do some quilting on them. I have 9 items that need to be quilted. Nine! That's ok, I need the practice.
Your pumpkin looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow Paula, it's awesome!!! Ready for fall.....

Great Pumpkin!!!! I have that pattern. You inspire me.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Paula. You are ready for fall, and I haven't even taken down my pumpkin quilt yet.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely, Paula! What a fine showing of handwork!
ReplyDeleteDid you use a template for the pumpkin or was it drawn/ stitched freehand?
ReplyDeleteAlthough my first fiber craft was cross-stitch, I wish I could embroider. One more thing to learn. ~ksp
Wow - 9 tops all ready to be quilted. You're going to be havin' some quiltin' fun soon.
ReplyDeleteLove that pumpkin stitchery - you've got a nice jump start on fall.
Love this pumpkin table topper. I especially like that you hand quilted it. I love my autumn table topper because of the hand quilting, makes for an entirely different look from the machine work - not that there's anything wrong with that, lol.
ReplyDeleteNine tops, huh, I agree, it's time to quilt.
Oh it is wonderful! I"ve always loved that pumpkin, and I love how you finished it off and the hand quilting!!!! There is nothing like a simple grid if you ask me!
ReplyDeletePumpkins always are a favorite of mine. It looks so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI see your header photo changed again. This one has always been my favorite.
oh I love the little pumpkin quilt.
ReplyDeleteLike you my quilting table is full.
I stopped hand quiltng in the morning for a wile so I could catch up.
3 more to go before I can allow myself to work on something else.
Lovely job on your pumpkin...that's a lot of quilting! I'm the same as you...lots of tops ready to be quilted. I even have 2 that are basted and waiting.
