Pumpkin Stack

 Looks like I am deep into fall quilting right now, I love it! Lots of little pieces in the sunflower but so worth it :)

The pattern is called Pumpkin Stack from Karen Walker at Laughyourselfintostitches. I found it to be well written and easy to follow. There might have been a couple made last year and I pieced two over the winter. This is the first to be quilted, bound and listed in my Etsy shop.

I tried out a new hanging sleeve technique with less edges to hand sew down. These are 6.5" squares folded twice to get a triangle. Laura from Sew Very Easy showed this technique on You Tube. 

My finished wall hanging is 27"x17". 

We went on a little camping trip last week heading up to northern Minnesota. The weather was hot and humid but thankfully we had electric hookups. We tried out a new to us campground, it was our first time using a COE(Core of Engineer) campground, it was very nice. But it was misleading on their website it stated it was electric and water and showers. We got there with no water on board the fifth wheel only to find out there was not water at each campsite after we got all backed in and set up! Lucky for us we were right next to the camp host who lent us his hose and hooked with ours we could get water from his source.  Very nice camp though, quiet and not full either. And a very good price.  We went there to pick Juneberries and blueberries in the wild out on the ATV trails. Hmmm, we were so disappointed to find they were past their prime and we only got a few.  

After that we went to our son and DIL's for the weekend. We enjoyed seeing them, went for a hike and to the aquarium. The weather was hot and humid there too.  Came home Monday and flipped on the AC and I don't care to go anywhere right now! So I finished the above wall hanging yesterday. While we were gone the cucumber on the deck survived the wind and rain and produced cuc's for us to eat right away. There will be more in a few days. The garden gave forth two zucchini and tomatoes.

I took this stack of 10 quilts to my DIL for her church group to hand out to those in need. A bag of hand knit slippers also went to her. It feels good to help out and she so appreciated each of them. She had to take them out of the bag and look at each one. I love that!!

Enough for today, I need to get back to quilting more:)
