Punkins For Sale!

So many ways to make pumpkins...so I made three out of fabric for fall decorating.  I'm already on to making stuff for the Christmas Open House but really we need to decorate for fall now!!!

A patch of punkins'
 
Gingham..."give comfort"
 

Burlap..."blessed"
 

Corduroy..."inspire memories"

So take your pick in the punkin' patch and decorate before the snow flies and piles up!!!

Take care,

Bonnie

Burlap Wreath...

I made another burlap wreath on a wire frame.  I cut and tied a bizillion strips of burlap to the form.  I like the way it turned out.  The other one I made was narrower strips and took way longer to cover a smaller frame

 
 
Now I have to embellish it...not much - just a little something.





Thought you'd like to see the process...I still don't know how I'll embellish it but I can look later again and see which one strikes me!

Tomorrow better be more fruitful than today...I hope, I hope!

Take care,
Bonnie

Another Quilt Camp Over...

Just wrapped up another successful Stitchin' Chicks Quilt Camp...and since I've been home, a nice long nap!  We dragged a car full of stuff in the house...made a pizza for lunch...started to watch the Vikings football game...and fell asleep until it was over!  But while I slept - we won!!!  Yay!

I was pretty worn out from our last two weekend Farmgirls sales so I came home with some dread disease...actually probably just a cold but ache all over, sore throat, yada, yada, yada. 

I finished two quilt tops - one for me for my nap time and one for my granddaughter Addy's nap and TV time!

I love Scottie dogs!  Made from Woolies flannel...
"Remembering Katie" designed by Grace Wilson for Maywood Studio
purchased at Keepsake Quilting.



 
 
 Addy picked out the fabrics and Gram sewed it at camp! 
She loves Barbie!
 
Addy will help me tie her quilt soon!
 
 
The Christmas burlap items going to Zimmermann's in Mora!
 
Annie missed me - she took her post at the back door for a couple of days just waiting for me to come home...missed my little family.  January is our next camp and its 6 nights and 7 days...might have to have lunch with Hubby and Annie half way through camp!
 
Take care,
