My sister and I are extremely excited about co-hosting the
Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop Linky Party at Katherine's Corner.
Thank you, Katherine, for inviting us to participate in this wonderful party. You know how much I
love your blog and have been joining in every Thursday!
Now WE get to co-host the party!
How wonderful is that?
Right now my favorite things are PUMPKINS!!
When I went to my sister's house in Pennsylvania this past weekend,
we worked on making fabric pumpkins. I love being with my sister
because it is one big craft fest when I'm there. This weekend was no exception and
I came back to Connecticut with several new fabric pumpkins and
lots of pictures of them for the blog.
Here is a green gingham "pumpkin" that we made.
I make them by cutting out a large circle, for this pumpkin about a 24 inch circle. Then I take a large running stitch along the top and pull the thread. It makes the fabric all gathered at the top and then
I just fill it with polyfil and sew it closed. I add a cut twig for a stem and some artificial leaves.
That's all there is to it. So, of course, I kept making
That's all there is to it. So, of course, I kept making
them all weekend. Everyone will get to see them on our blog
over the course of the next month.

Oh my gosh this post brought back great memories of making these pumpkins with my Girl Scout troop when my daughters were in grade school.
ReplyDeleteI still have their pumpkins! Your gingham one is adorable; nicely done. Way nicer than the ones done by the 4th graders in my troop those many years ago! :-)
thanks for co-hosting ... Cass
Wow, I just love your gingham pumpkin! Crafting is so much fun. I'm visiting from Katherine's - her parties are wonderful. Thank you for being the co-host this week. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteJust love your unique gingham pumpkin and I reckon a group photo of all the others you made would make a lovely photo. I wonder what collective noun you would give your group of pumpkins? Because I'm an over thinker I need to give this some thought. TFS your lovely blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my blog yesterday ... I tried like the devil to leave a comment yesterday but blogger was all kinds of crazy for me! And then tried to follow but the sidebar kept vanishing ... sigh. So I'm back today!
ReplyDeleteI have managed to follow, and again - thanks for the visit! and happy weekend to both you and your sister :)
Love the pumpkins! Thanks so much for visiting and commenting on Saved by Grace! Your blog is a blessing and I am now following it, and I invite you to follow Saved by Grace also:

Hi, I am following you on Linky. I show up in the middle somehow rather than on an end? I was looking for GFC but did not see it. Thanks for dropping by and for co-hosting with Katie. I love your tutorial on the fabric pumpkin. xo
ReplyDeleteYour pumpkin is adorable. How sweet to have a sister who loves to craft too :)
ReplyDeleteDee
OH MY GOODNESS, Linda, this one is adorable. LOVE gingham.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and Carol for co-hosting with Katherine. I must visit the party and mingle a little. :)
I sent you an email about Glitter and a Movie and the button.

Linda, I was about to link, but I noticed the linky is now closed. I thought this was open all month. Hmmm...I guess I've been partying a bit too much, huh. ;) Maybe I got it mixed up with your button, 30 Days of Pumpkins. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
