Pumpkins...

It's the first day of Autumn...

time to make some pumpkins

 

I pulled some fabrics and made strip sets,

sandwiched them together with insulbrite

and cotton batting...

If you look close you can see

curved machine quilting lines...

Back view shows the machine quilting...

Using a template, I cut out a pumpkin shape...

All ready for a binding

I made a few for gift giving...

The bindings are done...

Found a green fabric for pumpkin stems...

I layered these with batting

and stitched them into stems...

The first stem is on the pumpkin...

These quilted pumpkins can be used for 

trivets, hot pads or candle mats...

This is the first project I have created with

my new Bernina 440 QE...

it sews like a dream.
