The Great Pumpkin

I started this last fall and just finished the hand quilting and binding. This is a pattern from Country Threads. I used big stitch quilting and it went FAST!

The Great Pumpkin even has a label!


My son is back on US soil! He is at Camp Lejune, NC outprocessing. He should be home with us in a week or so! Semper Fi!

  3. Your pumpkin hanging is great! I love the lettering down the side - did you applique the letters by machine or by hand? Its all ready for fall. I'm working on one but it may be Thanksgiving before its done.

  6. How wonderful that your son is back. I think I'd have been holding my breath the whole time.

    And so, report on the progress of your house painting efforts. . . . all done?

  7. Wow, you have a major redoc job going on at your house. I love the smell of new paint though and just keep reminding yourself how beautiful it is all going to look. Love the pumpkin wall hanging. Wish I could see a close up of the big stitch quilting. I am thinking of trying that on my Circus Stars quilt.

  10. I like how you did initials on the back. A good idea. Country Threads puts out good seasonal patterns. I need to look through mine and get busy.
