Pumpkin Placemats & Cattle... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

Farmhouse Pumpkin Placemats

I had just the fabric...

I keep a few yards of black & white plaid fabric

in the cupboard for bindings...

These went together quickly...

Lots of FUN to create !

They are a gift and already out the door !

We have been feeding cattle for

a few weeks now...

Seems like we just baled up this hay in June...

The cows know the sound of our pick ups

and meet us at the feeding grounds...

are back lit as the sun rises...

The spiders have been busy...

Pumpkins... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

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...

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

Surprise... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

The Cowboy SURPRISED me with a new

sewing machine...

Bernina 440 Quilters Edition

This machine was made in 2007...

It is just like NEW...

only 32 hours on the machine...

how wild is that !

2007 was the 75 year Anniversary of Bernina

I love the large, white extension table...

I also like the sliding speed control

and the blue on/off button...

I played with the BSR foot and

even though I have been free motion quilting

for over 30 years I actually liked it !

It came with a dozen feet and most of them

are my favorites...

Clothesline Rope... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

I am inspired to have a play with some

clothesline rope...

It's been awhile but it is coming back to me...

I use an open-toe applique foot so I can see

the rope while I am zig zagging back and forth.

I decided to make a placemat first...

It was so much fun...I made another one !

Next I made a medium sized bowl...

forgot how much fun it is to play with rope !

I made 4 placemats and 4 coasters...

I couldn't resist making a small bowl too...

On the bottom right is a trivet to set ...

Heart Garland...and Tutorial from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

I started playing around with hearts this week:

No pattern...just an idea

I wanted to work through...

Before I knew it I had a heart garland

to hang on a mantel or wall or window, etc.

I pawed through the fabric cupboards

and found some pinks...

so made another Heart Garland...

These are FUN and don't require

a lot of your fabric or your time...

I hung them up on the design wall

for a photo shoot...

I turned my back and there were FOUR !

I ended up making SIX Heart Garlands

and already gave two of them ...

Team Work... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

She began sewing on my Bernina

when she was 4 years young...

She is now 10 years of age...

She came over during her Spring Break

in April and pieced the star...

She came back over the Summer and

finished piecing the quilt top...

We will team up to complete the Quilt:

I basted it and completed the machine quilting...

Acorn Candle Mats

This is an acorn coaster pattern...

I enlarged it and changed the shape a bit...

I pulled these homespun fabrics

from the cupboard...

Before too long I had an

I had a great deal of fun using these

homespun fabrics...

Trying out different color combinations...

It was hard to stop...

I just had to keep cutting them out

and stitching them together.

Acorn Garland... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

This is a very FUN and FREE pattern from

Fig Tree & Company

Acorn Garland & Coasters

I am using 5 inch charm squares...

The charm squares are cut in half and

pieced into fronts or top sides for the acorns...

One charm pack made 16 acorns...

You trace the acorn shape onto freezer paper

then iron the freezer paper to your fabric

and trace around the shape...

If I were to make these again,

I would only put one small square

of fabric for the bottom of the acorn...

I was having so much FUN making these

that I forgot to ...
