And black cats!
This week I finished the October heart for my display stand. It was one of my favorites to stitch last year, so I'm happy to have it ready to show this year!
When you finish a project, it means you can start something new, right?! So I did start a new stitch, but just a little one. This is Melisa's Pumpkin Crow design - it will be about 3 x 3 when finished.
You can see the pumpkin starting to form!
And I stitched the pumpkins on the Gail Pan piece, too!
It's been all pumpkins around here this week!
I do have to show the finished orange peel quilt one more time to my Sunday slow stitching friends - it was finished earlier in the week, but you may not have seen it.
Happy to have this one finished!
Sharing at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.
It’s definitely pumpkin season! I bought some pumpkins for my front porch at the farmer’s market yesterday. Your stitched pumpkins are the perfect project for October. Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteYour pumpkin display is so cute. You even have a black cat to match your stitched one! That Gail Pan piece is really pretty, and Melisa's little design is adorable. Enjoy your Sunday!
ReplyDeleteLove your seasonal display table. So cute with the pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute stitcheries, love the little birds with the pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteYour pumpkin display is so charming!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little seasonal display area you've set up!! Love the embroidered pumpkin hanging on that cute tabletop stand...nice works ;))))

Lately I've been inspired by your oh so cute embroidery projects. I may follow in your footsteps. Your orange peel quilt is absolutely a finish to share again. II love how your background squares are varied in tone. To my eye, it adds interest to your beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteI like your pumpkin and black cat display. Your latest finishes are so pretty. I like your newest start too.
ReplyDeletethe pumpkins all look great and I don't mind seeing the orange peel quilt again it is so pretty
ReplyDeleteI love your Pumpkin finish--and the border on it--it was what I wanted for mine--but did not have anything like that to work with--discovered most of my 'fall' prints where really Halloween prints!!
ReplyDeleteI plan to do a couple of Melisa's smalls soon--and that better be soon as the months are flyin by!!!
love you finished orange peel wall hanging--am thinking about doing another one--some day!!! hugs,di
I just got out my October needlework decor. I need to make more little pillow pieces. Love all yours.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, if a project is finished it's mandatory to start another. Another lovely finish to display on your welcoming table. That black cat is cute, as is the cross stitch feline pretty. Orange Peel is beautiful. You have such a lovely array of pretties to display for any given season ....celebration, Diann.
ReplyDeleteAah you fall display is adorable, Diann! It is such a joy to see your stitches and quilts all together. It is such an honor that you have stitched so many of my pieces. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cannot tell you how much it means to me. I love your orange peel quilt. It looks amazing and the Gail Pan stitch is so stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeleteDo you know what pumpkins mean to me? Cooking up pumpkin soup, so yummy. My adult granddaughter has been baking up some pumpkin pies, it is not really a thing here. We had a Canadian friend who invited us around to dinner some years ago and served pumpkin pie for dessert, it was heavenly!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy your vignettes! Do you store them as a group ("Pumpkins" "Strawberries") or by type ("hangings" "runners")?
ReplyDeleteThe orange heart finished nicely. I love the orange pins holding on the frame, too. The entire display looks so welcoming in your entry way. Pumpkin Crow is going to be adorable. Melisa did well with this design. Your stitches are perfect on the Gail Pan piece.
ReplyDeleteYour finished off your pumpkin embroidery piece beautifully. Hope you got lots of stitching time in over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYep you can start a new project;) I need to finish up a couple of Halloween stitchings, just gotta eek out a few minutes to do so. Love the heart pumpkin finish.
ReplyDeleteLove your pumpkin table!!! and yes - you don't even really have to finish something to start somethin new, haha
