The summer has been hotter than normal (or maybe it is just me) and I can't wait to feel some cooler breezes. Fall and that sweet cool weather is just around the corner, so Joan from Moosestash Quilting had a fun idea for a blog hop to get us all in the cooler weather spirit.
The "Falling For You" blog hop is just what we needed! Thanks, Joan!
Fall means family and Thanksgiving to me, so "Gnome for Thanksgiving" seemed like the perfect "falling for you" project to share.
Gnome for Thanksgiving
50" x 50"
Fabrics are Benartex Blushed Houndstooth...so many beautiful colors in 100 percent cotton!
By Cheryl Haynes of Prairie Grove Peddler
Benartex Blushed Houndstooth used in quilt:
Lt. Turquoise, Leaf, Sage. Aquamarine, Honey, Yellow, Buttercup, Salmon, Almond, Biscotti
Benartex Superior Solids used in quilt:
Fern, White, Vanilla, Gold, Black
This gnome is ready with his pumpkin to make some pie.
The fabric colors are really soft looking and almost look like flannel.
A little bird is hitching a ride to Thanksgiving dinner.
Luckily, he's not big enough to be on the menu.
Turquoise is the background fabric in the center block and Sage is the border.
I love the Blushed Houndstooth Yellow in the flower center!
The Sage looks lovely in the modified hourglass block.
The star in this folded quilt is beautiful in Salmon and Almond.
That pumpkin he's tightly gripping is in Superior Solids Gold.
I did a little digging for an older Thanksgiving photo of my family and found this one from 2009. It only has two Monkey Boys (there will be seven monkeys in February) and we all look a lot younger. Fun memories!
You can find "Gnome for Thanksgiving" in my Etsy store HERE.
Using the Crafter's Edge Crossover II and triangle die cuts made those stars a breeze!
No dog ears to cut off...nice!
They easily sew into half square triangles!
So many sizes to choose from.
Of course, I used my favorite iron-on adhesive for the applique, Heat n Bond Lite EZ Print
Sheets. Easy printing with no tracing!
It's time to go visit some other "I'm Falling for You" projects...so many fun ones!
