Pumpkin panel is done. This was pieced a couple weeks ago and the quilting and binding done on Wednesday, photos taken and listed in my Etsy shop on Thursday.
This was all one panel and then I cut it apart and rearranged it, my favorite thing to do with panels. This is what the Benartex panel looked like to begin with. You see how I cut the center pumpkin panel out, separated the border leaves from the smaller pumpkins rearranged everything and sewed it back together.
From there I added a black border to bring it to a size I needed for the triangle blocks. Easy peasy right? Add some fun quilting and it was done;)
My almost done is the Hello Summer cross stitch I have been working on. I thought I would finish it up while on vacay, but I just wasn't in the mood to really do much so I worked on it when we got home. I just have the bees wings to stitch today for Slow Stitching Sunday. Maybe I will start the next cross stitch, it's a fall one.
Also linking up on with Monday Musings, Sew and Tell Monday and Design Wall Monday. I hope to have another busy week of stitching ahead.
Your Pumpkin panel is a lovely finish; perfect for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteYour counted cross stitch is so cute! You always make such good use of the various panel sections. I have a couple of panels that could be cut apart like this. I should pull them out and actually do something with them.
ReplyDeleteSo fun seeing both Kathy and your stitchery this week. The panel quilt is pretty and I love your borders. Have a great week.
ReplyDeletepretty panel!
ReplyDeleteBoth projects are looking good, Vicki! You do such great things with those panels - I love the fall colors in this one. That green with the dots is so pretty. Way to go on Hello Summer, too! I haven't had much stitching time the last few days, but hoping to get back to it tonight.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks amazing, Vicki. Fabulous border. Hello Summer is darling. Did you dye your fabric? It is scrumptious.Have a wonderful week. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteLove your pumpkin panel quilt, so pretty! Your Hello Summer is beautiful. I hope to finally get started on mine tonight.
ReplyDeleteYou always inspire me with your panel use. Personally, I think your subtractions and additions made it soooo much better. I like to see how you photograph your work. You always add a touch of items appropriate for the season. Great job. Let's hope it sells rapidly.
ReplyDeleteYou do know how to get the most out of panels in such a beautiful way!
ReplyDeleteYou really work magic with panels, Vicki. You've done well with the summer cross stitch. Another Primrose freebie releases this week.
ReplyDeleteFall is quickly approaching and you'll certainly be ready for it when it arrives. Summer is hanging on for a few more days here. I am close to asking for the AC unit in the window again :( LOL Thanks for joining Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteA reminder that fall is not far away. Love your pumpkin panel quilt and fun seeing your cross stitch, too.
ReplyDeleteLook at you getting the fall stuff going already! Love seeing it! Woefully behind here...
ReplyDeleteLove how you did the first one, Vicki. I love all pumpkin panels and blocks! I just don't like to eat pumpkin! LOL Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
