Every autumn when the chill sets in, I get a hankering for pumpkin. Not those "pumpkin spice" products that line grocery shelves this time of year. Only the real thing will do!
Our friend Linda shared this tasty assortment of fresh-baked pumpkin treats, including cream cheese frosted pumpkin bars, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, and even pumpkin whoopee pies! Each was moist
Here’s an autumn-inspired doll quilt with a pumpkin theme. The pattern is Pumpkin Seed, a slight variation of the popular Orange Peel design. In this case, the appliquéd segments are a bit narrower than the more robust Orange Peel.
18” x 21”
My friend and former QBU colleague, Mary Radke, made the quilt top for me, using Cherrywood hand dyed cotton fabrics. Mary machine appliquéd each pumpkin seed segment to a background square. I hand quilted, outlining each segment and continuing the pumpkin seed design into the border. The design turned the corners nicely at the top of the quilt, but since the bottom corners were unresolved, I filled the space with the date of completion.
