Happy Sunday , Pumpkins! Please do come in and join me for a bit of this and that.

The other day I was looking though my old Country Living magazines. I loved the 1980's early 1990's decor. How about you? Here are a few pages from a 1988 magazine. These fall tablescapes make my heart go thumpity thump! ❤💓💖💓❤
This table has a pretty quilt top on it.
I adore everything about this kitchen! Mmm that braided rug. 🤗
I guess I should get my head out of the clouds of dreaming of pretty country kitchens and talk about stitching.

All week long my sewing machine has been humming and buzzing along creating lots of pretty 16 patches.
I hope to finish piecing the blocks this week and then figure out the layout.

Later today I will finish this wee pumpkin stitch and...

A new house stitch is under construction. But the work yard is being over taken by a turkey and her plump pumpkins. Oh bother!
Monday night the grandsons played baseball. As I cheered along the sidelines, I also completed the embroidery work on Harvest Season.
Being the thrifty gal that I am , I gathered up bits and pieces of bating to piece together.

I whipped stitched the scrap batting together.

And chose the same Cranston print fabric that I used in A Leafy Mug Rug that I shared yesterday for the backing.
Now Harvest Season is ready for the hoop. I will be working on it today and tomorrow.
Well , Sweeties, I will leave you with the most darling sewing project of all!!! My grandsons and nephews spent the night over the weekend and my oldest made his own pincushion using 2 1/2" scraps. He then glued the corners into a little bowl. - just precious!

You have so much going on Melisa! I don’t know how you manage to keep track of all your projects. 😄 Love the wee pumpkin stamp! I especially love all your little quilts and Harvest Season is no exception. If I can get my printer to work I will be printing the pattern. Thank you so much for all the sweet inspiration. Warmest hugs, Barbara @flashinscissors 😘🤗🙋♀️👋👍xx
ReplyDeleteMelisa, I haven't been keeping up with the treasures you create, but with the recent hurricane and storms throughout the Southeast, I've been thinking of you. The wind and rain have caused such serious flooding and resulting damage. I don't need to know exactly where you are located, but could you let us know that you are ok? Prayers for all in the path of Helene. Kris in WI.
