A Halloween project completed! This is a pillow I made from a very old pattern by Pieces From My Heart called Halloween Harvest. The original pattern shows 2 little wall hangings and a pillow. But, I sewed them all together into one great big pillow. The pillow is about 18"x36". I used lots of homespun plaids, checks and stripes and used hand applique.
A crow on a pumpkin. I used a big stitch to hand quilt the pillow top.
The angel pumpkin says...I scatter the seeds over the pumpkin patch that the children may have pumpkins for jack-o-lanterns in all shapes and sizes. I think the angel (or punkin head, as my DH calls her) needs a face. What do you think?
Another pumpkin. Pom pom fringe sewn into the edge of the pillow.
And another! This picture shows the black rick rack sewn on the border.
This is the back of the pillow. I'm not satisfied with the closing. I'm going to have to work on it. Those are HUGE orange buttons. I love them!
I have dug out some UFOs with Fall in mind...13 Lucky Cats, Pieceful Nights, Birds of a Feather and Primitive Garden. I'm anxious to get some work done on each of them while I anticipate the arrival of cooler weather!
I love the pillow. And the back of it too! Very cute.
ReplyDeleteI love it.. its just perfect.. you did a very lovely new item from that pattern... gorgeous!!!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteIt's a very nice big pillow. I like so much pumkins (see and eat them)and is fun the crow with dots.
Thanks for share.
Love those big orange buttons! I do like fall designs. And big pillows. I turned a table runner type design into a big pillow myself. I like what you did with your pattern combining two items into one new one.
ReplyDeleteFantastic pillow....I'm ready for Autumn! Good Job!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I use to go to yours all the time then I lost a lot of stuff on my computer and couldn't remember yours. Your little girls are growing so fast. I remember when they were so tiny, their so adorable. Love the pillow. I put you on my follow list this time. Have a good night.
