Pumpkin Placemats in time for Fall

Finished my placemats and table runner in time for Thanksgiving. Also, in time for my OMG for October at Elm Street Quilts. These OMG's keep me on track (sometimes) with my non-stop projects.

These were actually kind of time consuming. But I like them and will probably just get them out each Fall. I don't want them to get all stained up like my other placemats that I use constantly.



The table runner and placemats are too big for the dining table so I moved the table runner to the coffee table in my family room. It looks much better there.

I quilted them using my walking foot with straight lines. The fabric is flannel. I have had the fabric and pattern in my dresser drawer for about 5 years so it's about time I completed them!

Here's my original post for OMG for October.  Now onto my next project.

Next step in the Roundabout Quilt Along - done!

Finished the next step in the Roundabout Quilt Along at Happy Quilting. These are my Half-Square Triangles with Goosed Corners. It is nice to have little "bonus" triangles on the right that I can use for a pillow or something down the road. I have not ironed those yet but will get to that one evening.

I'm looking forward to having a Christmas quilt this year.
Plus, it is awesome that I won this cute fat quarter bundle on the previous step in the Roundabout Quilt Along.
It was from Four Peaches Fabric. Now I can start planning my next project with these cuties!

Fall Pumpkins

My One Monthly Goal for October is to quilt these pumpkins that I sewed in August. I purchased some variegated thread so I hope it works well for the quilting.

I'm looking forward to using these on my Thanksgiving table.

Linking these for my Elm Street Quilts October OMG
