wow........2 posts in 1 day.

After seeing that beautiful orange M&M I made 

the time to dye several chenille bedspreads today 

in several shades of orange.

Once out of the dryer, folded 

and stacked next to the woven fabrics that will soon be pumpkins

I just had to take photos. 

2013 pumpkin harvest.......

You also see a couple pieces of tea stained chenille from last year.

There will be more..........

NOTE:: The chenille spreads I use in my pumpkin making are what are called cutter or so well loved that they are no longer usable as bed spreads because of the stains and/or rips.  I do have several of those good ones that will not be cut until they've had many years of use.

wip

Decided to do straight line quilting on this strip quilt and

as usual did some research online for the best

technique since this is the biggest quilt I've 

done so far.

Plan hope to have the quilting finished today.

Would like to have the binding stitched on as well

so I can sit this evening and hand stitch the finish

while watching mindless tv.

Plan to have in the shop by the weekend.

That is if this rainy gloomy weather allows

me to take descent photos.

Then on to 2014 pumpkin harvest.

Lot's of chenille pumpkins and new prints this year.

 

afternoon tea / shades of white

Here are recent photos of the variety of 

vintage, tea stained chenille

pumpkins.

Can you believe that every one of the

pumpkins

have been sold??

To only 2 customers at that.

 Below is how they all started out.

Vintage chenille bedspreads -

dingy white, butter cream yellow.

Then I tea stained 2 pieces.

The chenille in the center is 

a bright crisp white, it still

looks good with the "afternoon tea" 

pumpkins.

I've got more cut out and will be 

stitching them up this week and 

adding to the shop .
