Pumpkins Rag Quilt

Posted in Quilting, Sewing, tagged Fall, pumpkin quilt, pumpkin rag quilt, pumpkins, Rag Quilt on August 18, 2021| 2 Comments »

Remember last week when I said I was working on a new rag quilt design? (See that here.) Well, here it is….a new pumpkin/fall design. This one is made from 80 squares. It took a little time since there are so many squares so it may be difficult to do as a class…..but maybe a full day workshop at The Studio could cover it or I have another design with just one large pumpkin that might be better for a class. What do you think?

Last month when Sister was here for my birthday we went to The Mud Peddler Studio in Shepherdstown to celebrate her birthday. She had received a gift certificate to work with the amazing Denise Kupiszewski, pottery artist extraordinaire. We had a great time creating yard art animals. Sister made these terrific fish and I made bunnies. It was so much fun. Denise delivered them yesterday so now they will go to Georgia to sit on some bamboo poles in Sister’s garden by the water. I love them!
