Yesterday I had a chance to sew for a little while. I finished making this pillow from an applique block I had done earlier. The words are...Blackbird Sings At My Backdoor.

We had some pictures made at a local park. Can you believe the Tootie Girls are almost four?

I made their outfits.

And, finally, my daughter's latest painting.

Halloween Harvest Pillow

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!
