For "Hang Your Quilt Day" this month, the theme was Thanksgiving. I scrambled to make up some smaller quilts for this holiday since I had none other than the pumpkin one on the lower right. I actually enjoyed playing with the muted golden color scheme which is not the norm for me.
The checkerboard quilt hanging on the left measures 40" x 40" and its title is
Gobble. The nine Ohio Star blocks that make it up have novelties fabrics of turkey and Indian corn. My

The
Pumpkin Time quilt hanging in the center measures 42" x 50" and was made this past week from a several-year-old panel and some re-purposed checkerboard blocks from a previous project. The central pathway in each of the five images leads to a quaint home. I wanted this quilt hung for the third Saturday of November so the quilting on it is minimal due to my self-imposed time crunch, but I may do more. The descriptive blog post on it is yet to come. I was too hard-pressed to complete it to blog about it.
Update: My post about sewing
Pumpkin Time is dated
11/22/2020.
The 30" x 33" wall hanging titled
Harvest Moon, hanging in the upper right, came from a long-forgotten kit. I had fun with the chicken print backing on this one; but check my post for
11/9/2020 for more details.
The pumpkin wall hanging on the bottom right measures 31" x 39". The final quilt on the lower right is a repeat from the third Saturdays of
September (9/19/2020) and
October (10/18/2020); but, hey, pumpkins are good throughout the fall months. My
10/31/2017 post describes its completion and quilting.
Beginning April 2020, my quilt guild members began a tradition of hanging quilts in the front of their homes on the third Saturday of the month as a source of enjoyment for the community and as a thank you for the essential workers during the pandemic. My initial post about this practice is dated
4/22/20.
