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.

  4. Congrats on finishing off the Christmas quilt. You'll have it done and ready to use this holiday. The autumn quilt is really cute and just perfect to be working on as the days cool day (Assuming they do at some point. Its easy to wonder after the brutal summer we've had).

  6. Good progress on your quilting! I just may have to get my stitching things out to do that new freebie. Thank you I really like it!

  7. The Gingerbread quilt is looking so good. Your stitches are so nice and even. One more step, the binding, and it will be ready or the upcoming holiday season. Thank you for the little pumpkin stitch. I was thinking that it would make a good mini quilt, too. The bird stitch at Herschner's is a pretty one. Thanks for the link.
