It's My Day For The Pick A Pumpkin Blog Hop

Just a note: I have a double trouble day of two projects happening...Pick A Pumpkin blog hop
and Riley Blake Design's Dragon blog tour. You can find the Dragons HERE.

Carla at Creatin' in the Sticks came up with the perfect idea for a fall blog hop...Pick A Pumpkin! 
All we had to do was have a pumpkin somewhere on our project.
Thank you, sweet Carla, for gathering us together to sew and share!


I started this quilt a few years ago from a laser cut kit I purchased at Quilted Works.
I love all the little applique details, but one thing after another got in the way and suddenly
all those little details overwhelmed me. It became a (gasp) UFO!
Fast forward to a quilt retreat this summer with friends and out came the quilt. 
It has pumpkins (which meets the requirements) and ta-da...it's done!

Here it is at the golf course...


...the museum...


...and in front of an old house in Hurricane, Utah.


I love our little outings and my "crew" is the best at holding up or positioning the quilt!


An acorn house


A pilgrims house with pumpkins


A barn with a quilt and scarecrow


A festive house with another pumpkin...love that owl!


The quilting is gorgeous and was done by Quilted Works.
I usually let them pick the design and threads...I've never been disappointed!


The back of this quilt has minky on it and will be a Christmas gift for someone special.


There's lots of pumpkin inspiration happening this week...don't miss out on any of them!

  14. Thanks for sharing close-ups of the houses because they are just so cute; I can understand how the 'little pieces' could overcome. It's a perfect pumpkin quilt. Thanks to you quilt holder - dang but he's good. Maybe he should write a posting on the tips and techniques of a holder - serious.
