In and Out of the Hoop , Plus Autumn Patchwork - A Fall Freebie

 One quilt out of the hoop and another is going in!

Eeeh, it is moving day for the quilt hoop!




I finished quilting the border on my
Roll and Bake quilt. This has been my 15 a minute a day project for the week.


So now, Roll and Bake is officially out of the hoop.


If you missed these little free doodles that I posted a few years ago, just click on the colored links to visit the posts.

But there is binding to be added. I am using the Christmas fabric that came from the "Great bag of fabric" that my nephew gifted me a few years ago. So you can guess what I am going to be up to today. Binding!

2 " wide strips cut for binding

And then.... I will begin quilting this darling quilt sent to me by my sweet friend, Cheryle. She gifted me this quilt last year, but I wanted to save it to quilt during the "fall season". Isn't it gorgeous?


Swoon .๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค— Just love those four patch pumpkins. Thank you, dear Cheryle. ❤๐Ÿ˜˜


Inspired by Cheryle beautiful quilt , I drew up a little stitch to work on called "Autumn Patchwork" . I will be working on it today.

"Autumn Patchwork" is a CHOOSE YOUR OWN COLORS CHART so you choose whatever colors your sweet heart desires .

The colors that are depicted in the chart MAY NOT be the colors that I choose when I stitch my piece.

I will certainly let you know what colors I settle on as I work on this little pumpkin patchwork.
