My New Scarf

I finally finished the scarf I was working on.  The pattern was in the Fall 2009 issue of Quilts and More.

I used a woven homespun for the base, and sewed a LOT of 1-inch batik strips - 86 I think - on to both sides of the base fabric, 1 inch apart on each side.  Then I frayed each side by cutting in an inch, 1/4 inch apart on both sides.  Then I wet the scarf and tossed it in the dryer with a dry towel.  While it was not a difficult project, it involved a lot of sewing.  I'm happy with it.

And here is a portion of my Figgy Pudding project, in progress.  More to come later on that.

Lastly, my Day 3 recipe smells wonderful, it is cooking while I blog.  All I will say is, it involves caramelized onions.   YUM.

My Fabric Pumpkins

Here is one of several pumpkins I made recently to decorate for Autumn

 around the house.  I used Moda's Pumpkins Gone Wild

line by Sandy Gervais.  I think they are fun!

I used sticks from the backyard as stems, and tied raffia around them.  Each pumpkin uses 6 different fabrics.  Here is a top view.

Next year, I plan to do different sizes and shapes for a pumpkin patch for

 the top of the piano in the living room.
