Been on a Pumpkin Roll

Hi Friends~

Hope you enjoyed a nice long weekend.

I've been having so much fun designing pumpkins this season

 to fill the shelves  of my shop.

Here are a just a few creations.

Starting with some wood block designs.

My talented guy cut some large blocks from wood

with added peg knobs for the stem.

I painted these with Waverly chalk paint in a pumpkin color

added dark wax, distress and embellishments.

These next few were created last year

but thought them worth sharing again.

I used Dollar Tree Pumpkins.

Added more accents to the top and glitter dots to the body of the pumpkin.

Lastly added a little tag to each and complete.

Easy, quick little project.

These little sweeties are created using an old sweater in ivory with real dried pumpkin stems.

This larger pumpkin was designed using flannel fabric and lace, jute and a dove charm.

Another sweater pumpkin with a flower added and created from a vintage pattern

lace and burlap stem. 

Here are a couple mini sweater set pumpkins also with real dried pumpkin stems.

Tied with lace ribbon and complete.

This little cutie is designed using a vintage spool of thread.

Jute for a stem with wire and burlap accent flowers and leaves complete the pumpkin.

Adding a little tag gives it a finish.

This pumpkin is a large style faux pumpkin hand painted with a flying witch silhouette

The design was adapted from 

The Graphics Fairy.com 

This Trick or Treat tag was also added and from The Graphics Fairy.

Lastly, I have sewn and designed lots of fabric styles this year and had so much fun.

Here are a few styles.

Notice the little paper bird sitting on the top of the ticking pumpkin.

I also designed the Farmers Market sign using the same chalk paint

by Waverly with dark wax and distress.

This little rose bud pumpkin can go right into Christmas.

Gingham checks in black with a little tag that says,

a wonderful Life.

I love to add these little wood tags.

This one says, embrace today!

And, I had to add a few pink for my shabby gals.

The pink wood tag says,

peace, hope and love!

Little furry fabric pumpkin with silk rose and leaves.

Some roses trailing on a ballet pink pumpkin.

Shabby and pink chic.

Ivory with grapevine wreath and roses.

Thanks for stopping by to visit.

Before I go, here is another little creation using wine corks.

I found a bag of these at Kirkland's and enough to make several pumpkins

and a few Christmas trees too.

See you next time.

Some of the above styles have found new homes, but I have a few more on the way.

Have a Happy September Day!

Fabric Pumpkin Patch

Hi Friends,

I've been working on a few new treasures for my shoppe

called  the

"Pumpkin Patch Collection"

Just arriving to fill the shelves for displaying now through Thanksgiving,

 are some pumpkins like these.

This is the larger design with tone on tone paisley fabric.

Farmhouse pumpkin in a ticking fabric and vintage tag. 

I also added stacked vintage spools for the stem

Animal print with jute stem and friends tag.

Pretty french toile fabric with red leaves and Eiffel Tower tag.

Another French style fabric with Eiffel Tower tag and check ribbon.

Sweet checked farmhouse pumpkin with fall leaf and paper rose.

Black velvet fabric with polka dot flower, hand created jute stem and vintage tag.

Another velvet in black with animal print stem.

Sweet owl sweater pumpkin with cuff stem.

Vintage doily memories pumpkin created with creamy flannel fabric.

Sweater pumpkin with vintage doily and memories tag.

Sweet little petite pumpkin created from a sweater and cuff stem.

Another petite pumpkin with lace ribbon.

And of course a little petite for  my shabby and chic girls who always want pink and pretty.

Lastly my favorite of all called, Petite Charmer, created from a sweater that had little gemstones on it,

I incorporated that area with the stones in this design and added the silk white roses,

lace ribbon and charming tag.

I hand created all these using a design I created after not finding any patterns I liked.

I used my sewing machine and also lots of hand sewing using embroidery thread for durability when pulling the pumpkins closed. They are all filled with poly fill and some with a few dry beans.

I had such a great time and so glad to have these complete

and filling the shelves

HERE

Now I'll be sewing a few more tiny pumpkins using the rest of the two old sweaters I cut up.

So much fun and a great way to use up and recycle fabric, sweaters and trims.

Thank you for visiting my little pumpkin patch.

See you next time.

Blessings for a special Autumn Day

and thank you for your visits and comments!
