Pumpkin Quilt

In 2004 I joined a quilt block of the month club at Quilt Sampler in Springfield. It was a pumpkin quilt and just in the last 2 weeks, I have begun working on the blocks! So if you are behind in your projects don't stress, so am I!

Here are the first 3 blocks- they are ready to be appliqued by machine and have the hand embroidery added to them---  I will post about my progress as there is some! lol

I am hoping it will be all done and ready for NEXT fall's decorating season! lol Would rather have it THIS Fall but know that is probably not going to happen- wishing I had started this silly project in January so it was ready to use! lol

My awesome boss is egging  --er I mean "encouraging me" to get it done so she can use the pattern too! lol  She is a great encouragement and a very talented lady and I am glad to finally after 5 years of living here have a quilting buddy.

 

 These are blocks 1-2-3  there are 12 and I want to get at least one more ironed on today

so I have an entire row ready to machine applique. I will be using the botton hole stitch with some I think dark tannish thread.

Have a great day!
