~ Podunk Plaid ~ Friday Finish ~

Hey Happy Quilters!  It's so nice to have a Friday Finish.  This will be my last fall/autumn quilt for the year.  Say Hello to Podunk Plaid.

Finishing at 63" x 72", she is the sweetest little thing.  The idea for this quilt came from a scrap pile of Autumn Love Fabrics  used in two recent quilts.  While doing the quilt math I realized the scraps were not going to be enough even though the pattern uses mostly Fat 8's.  So what the heck...order some more!  Once the fabric arrived this little gal came together in a flash.  Strip piecing is one of the best quilting tricks ever, don't you think?

A quick dig through the stash produced the perfect Riley Blake Yellow dot fabric for the backing.  Not sure when or where it was purchased but I'm sure glad it was in there.

Another quilt that is out of my color comfort zone.  ORANGE!  Who would have thought I could love orange so much.  It could be that Aqua border causing the swoon feeling. 

After completing the quilt, I started wondering how it would look in my favorite RED.  Oh.... now isn't this just darling?  My little grand daughter would look so cute curled up in this on Christmas Eve.

And since Halloween is just around the corner.  It really does look great in so many different colors. 

The pattern can be found in both of my online shops.  Craftsy for PDF only patterns.  And Etsy for PDF and Mailed patterns.

~ Farmhouse Pumpkins ~

Happy Friday!  Happy Quilters!  The Black Gingham has taken over my entire studio.  Here's my latest black gingham creation, Farmhouse Pumpkins.  A big ole thank you to Judy and Denis Stanton for allowing me use their old farmhouse for taking pictures.  Judy jumped right in and started bringing in extra props for the photos.

Not only am I working out of my normal color pallet, this quilt was sent to a professional longarm quilter.  Paula Spalding of Old Farmhouse Quilts did an amazing job, and quickly.  Paula does beautiful custom quilting but I wanted this one done as quick as possible so I chose the adorable little pumpkin vine quilting.  I could get used to sending out quilts for quilting(feeling spoiled).  If your interested in finding a new longarm quilter you can find Paula on her Facebook page by CLICKING HERE.

With fall in full swing there was tons of photo taking opportunities.  The leaves are starting to change colors and scatter about.  I'm looking forward to raking up a big ole pile for the garden.  Of course I'll play in them first!  Who doesn't love a big ole pile of leaves!

The Farmhouse Pumpkins pattern can be found in both my Etsy and Craftsy shops.  

Black gingham can be a little hard to find.  So I did a little research for you.  I found some on Etsy here.  And some at the Fat Quarter Shop.
