Pumpkins on T Tuesday



Stitched pumpkin pillow with wool front.
Primitive pumpkin pattern from "Threads that Bind."
The features are reverse applique'.  Which means you
cut out the shapes and sew the contrasting color behind
the opening, instead of stacking contrasting colors 
on top of each other. 


I rather like this sad pumpkin face...

Voting is still open over at Notforgotten Farm
for your favorite Finish on the cross-stitch pattern
that I used on the penny rug bag.  There are so
many lovely pieces there! Of course I would be
delighted if you vote for number four...


Below, the painted pumpkin doll that I
created several years ago. He's a rather
large fellow.


I saw a similar doll in a shop, but didn't
want to pay the high price, so I made
my own version.


Love how the dangly legs turned out!

T Tuesday activities.


Happy Fall - T Tuesday!

  3. So glad you left the link so I could vote this week. I love the bag, the silly pumpkin with the dangling legs, and of course, how you described the reverse applique on the pumpkin pillow. Had I made it, I would have cut out the orange and placed a whole piece of black to the back. Call me lazy!!

    Happy T today, dear.
