Fabulous antique store quilt treasure found!

 You will not believe I only paid $6 for this! It is completely hand pieced and hand quilted! It looks like 1930s feedsacks but could be later. It is a full size quilt...with one hole about 5 x 5 inches.

Pumpkins! Appliqued, quilted wallhanging ALMOST finished!!!

Sitting in the recliner propping the fractured foot has its advantages. I hand appliqued this quilt in about a week!

White pumpkins! Apparently they are real! I've never seen one but I hear they grow in California.

I love the "corn cob" fabric: I had to include it even though the pattern did not call for it.

The completed top! I would have finished the machine quilting yesterday if I had not put the machine needle through my thumb. Thankfully no blood on the quilt.

Pumpkins! Appliqued, quilted wallhanging

I recently started a project found in the newest issue of American Patchwork & Quilting. It's my first attempt at reverse applique. I love it! This is one of the white pumpkins. The bottom piece is chocolate brown linen. The top is bleached muslin. Blanket stitched with cream color.

This is the first "P" for pumpkin. These are  other letters in various stages of completion. It's August and 110o here in Oklahoma. This is to the hope that fall will come, and it will cool off. Meanwhile I sit in the airconditioning with my fractured foot propped, doing hand applique.
