"THE GREAT PUMPKIN QUILT" FINISHED

Finally complete!  "The Geat Pumpkin Quilt".  I can't get a full right on picture of the quilt.  I tried pinning the quilt to my design wall but it immediately fell off even with pins holding it.  I don't have a wood fence to pin it to.  And only one person to hold it, so I just draped it over the sofa and then a picture taken with it on the floor.

The pattern set was designed by "Briar Rose"  and here is the website.  I started this quilt in 2008.  An early post I found about it was in August of that year.  The applique is fused and then machine stitched. So it was four years in the making   Actually, the  top was ready for quilting for quite some time.  And that was done for me by Mary of Quilt Hollow.  She did wonderful custom quilting on it.  A fine finish and in time for fall display.

I received an e-mail asking me for information about a pattern for the quilt "Pumpkins and Turkey Feathers". I inadvertently deleted the e-mail before replying and I don't remember who asked.  So my best effort will be to give the answer on my blog post.  It is a Jan Patek design.  It was published in a Quilt Mania issue a few years ago but I don't remember which one.  I did not keep the pattern.  I have been told that the pattern is in Jan's book "We Gather Together" and that is still available for purchase.  I hope that helps.

Lots of sewing going on here and I need to get back to it.  Have a good day and take time to sew a bit.
