Tiny Pumpkin House - A Fall Freebie

Roll out the pumpkins and bring on the spice! Today is National Pumpkin Spice Day! 

Hmmm... I think I will celebrate with a dash of Pumpkin Spice in my black coffee , AND  ...

My daughter gifted me my newest coffee mug . A little pumpkin spice in my coffee will be perfect on this hot autumn day. 

 I do think the warm aroma of a pumpkin spice candle is in order for the day. 😀

The Walmart pumpkin Spice candle has a nice fragrance but not too overwhelming. 

AND... since I have an extra small quilt hoop open- why not start quilting on another project. 

This little four patch is going to be going into the hoop today. I think I will call it Pumpkin Spice- it looks spicy doesn't it. LOL. 

I pieced this little four patch quilt using leftover fabrics from The Autumn Sixteen Patch which I pieced last year. 

The little four patches include fabric from my Four and Twenty Blackbirds Quilt. 

And what a perfect day to roll out a new tiny house for the month! Little roly poly pumpkins are growing in the yard. 

May I introduce to you  the Tiny Pumpkin House . It was actually the first Tiny house I stitched and it started the whole series. So I do have a soft spot for it. 

"A Pumpkin and A Crow" ( an upcoming freebie), Tiny Pumpkin House and "Pumpkin Basket" ( Hmmm... I do not believe I have shared it yet. 🤔) 

If you decide to stitch any of my designs , feel free to choose your own floss colors. I always use whatever floss colors I have on hand at the time and what suits my home decor. ❤

    The following DMC floss colors were used in the making of Tiny Pumpkin House (aka Tiny Pumpkin Patch House):

🍂 301-  right/ left pumpkins

🍂 722-  middle pumpkin

🍂 729-  main house

🍂 732- grass

🍂782-  house additions

🍂898 border, pumpkin stems

🍂 3371 roof, windows, doorway 

 Tiny Pumpkin House was stitched on 14 count tea/ coffee dyed Aida.  I posted on how I dye my Aida in 2024  in my Time to Dye- post.

A finishing tutorial was shared in January 2026

Like all of my Tiny Houses, the Tiny Pumpkin House is finished in the same manner into a wee pin pillow with a bit of print fabric and lace. I shared the measurements in  my January 13, 2026 post along with the 1st house in the series, Tiny Winter's Day House. ( There will be 12 houses all together.)
