It all started when My Yellow Farm House showed us her mini wool pumpkin quilt and those adorable block set and signs for the fall season. She got me in the mood for pumpkins. Here is a trio of pumpkins I just finished stitching with wool. And then Libby and a few others have been showing fall quilts and crafty things (she has the most adorable dolly sitting on a quilt). Well I started digging out all the fall things and below are some of my pumpkin treasures. When I think about fall, I think of all things pumpkins.
This is my kitchen with pumpkin quilt and table runner. This quilt rack has the most rotations of quilts in my house. Changes with the seasons.
The entrance hallway with more pumpkins and a black cat. The little ghost hanger is from my cross stitching days...many many years ago.
Little pumpkin head angel mini quilt.
Oh ya .....pumpkin patch....again from the cross stitching years. Many moons ago...lol
This is "My Calendar Tree" for all the months of the year. Sewing has it's own special branch near the top. As you can see I LOVE decorating with pumpkins.It's getting cold here, I've had to get out the extra blanket for the bed....brrrr. Carole I know how you feel with getting the fireplace going.
Happy Fall!
I love 'em all. I think I even have a couple of those patterns. I'll have to get busy for next year *s*
ReplyDeleteOh... I love them all! They are all so beautiful! Despite the fact that I love pumpkins, I only have one pumpkin table runner made! sigh I need more pumpkins! I'm seriously thinking of ordering that Falloween book. Not that I need another project! lol Your home is so pretty with all of your hand made items. So beautifully decorated. Yea, the nights are much cooler! The trees are slowly turning their magnificient colours! Thanks for the tour of your home!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a wonderful collection of fall things! I love them all, especially the pillows.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a collection and a half, all lovely. We're still having days in the 90's, but I'm sure it won't be long and it will get chilly.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of pumpkins too! All of your pumpkins are wonderful!! I really like...well I can not pick one, or even two...they are all my favorite!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of decorative 'pumpkins'. Everything looks really nice! I pulled out some Fall decorations this week end but I don't have many Fall quilted items. Something to think about for next Fall.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the cooler temps. Sigh! :-)
I love all your fall quilts and especially the pumpkins on the mantle.
ReplyDeleteare they from a pattern? or a book? if so can you tellus which one I would love tomake those.

Wendy, I love your pumpkins! Especially your new wool felt ones! You did a beautiful job on them. I too, love decorating with pumpkins. I usually buy a few of the small decorative ones, along with some gourds to decorate inside my house.
ReplyDeleteYour home looks perfect for the season with all those beautiful projects. If I had to pick a favourite I think it would be the pumpkin and stars quilt on the wall.
ReplyDeleteBoy - you do have a lot of pumpkins! They are all great. I have a pumpkin tablerunner pattern just like the one you have on the table - and all the pieces are cut out - hmm, maybe I should finsih it - LOL

Nice collection. I have some wool projects in my future and hope they come out half as nice as yours have!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I've been to a Pumpkin festival...They're all just beautiful...
ReplyDeleteAll your pumpkins are great! I need to make something for fall. All I've got is my Autumn Leaves string quilt.
ReplyDeleteSo fantastic! I love them all. Mmm. You've inspired me to make pumpkin bread this weekend. And more quilts!!
ReplyDeleteI love all your quilts. Seeing them made me remember a few of mine I haven't dug out yet. Fall is wonderful isn't it? Thanks for sharing.

OK, Wendy - now you have us all drooling over your wonderful fall things. Each more wonderful than the one before. I'll start at the top and work down. The three wool pumpkins - your own design I presume? I love how the leaves are three dimensional and attached to the little pillows only by means of their stitched veins. I'm guessing the table runner has been around for awhile, right? Those three pumpkins have such marvelous personalities. And you've done the Country Threads quilt with the long black cat stretched out in front of the pumpkins. I've bought that pattern - somehow I don't think that counts as fall decorating. And that black lamp with the black and white shade - absolutely perfect with the arrangement. Does it come out only at this time of year? And the cross stitchings you've saved from the past. You have such a wonderful way of taking these disparate things and making them all work together delightfully. You can come decorate my house any time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful Fall quilt
ReplyDeleteshow!! I am so inspired by all the Fall quilts I'm seeing on all the blogs. Tomorrow I'm digging out all my Fall things.
Wonderful fall decor! I need more pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful show and tell! Thank you, I just love the pumpkin wallhanging in your front entry with the s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out black cat! Happy Fall right back atcha!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection! Fall is such a colorful time and adds so much to decorating. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteGREAT pumpkin quilts!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have quite the collection of pumpkin quilts. My fall quilts tend to be about leaves. It is interesting how we gravitate towards a theme and keep on going with it.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy,I like all these pumpkins! I love a lot the autumn and his colors. In Italy the pumpkin is cooked in a lot this period: Risotto, Tortelli, Pasta... Gnummm!!! Have a great week-end :)))
ReplyDeleteLove your pumpkin collection. That last one is really wonderful.
