Knee Deep in Pumpkins

We celebrated Thanksgiving this past weekend so, needless to say, pumpkin pie - a favourite of the Official Cookie Tester's - was on the menu. Pumpkins were also headed to the finish line in a few table runners.

I got the binding made for the Holly Bazaar pumpkin runner and like the way it finished it off.

The same orange and black check was used for the background and worked to make it just a tad more on the Hallowe'enie, if that's a word.

And that lovely little pumpkin panto made for a beautiful seasonal finish.

As much as I like it, I have to say that I think that I like Roberta's more. Speedy little thing that she is, she made up enough blocks for two runners in no time. 

I absolutely love her fabric choices - very scrappy and much more diverse than mine. Much more interesting, I think.

LOVE that large floral!

She chose an orange gingham for her binding and I think it's perfect (a nice finish without fighting with the pumpkins for attention) and the leafy burnt orange/pumpkin print for the backing adds even more interest.

This one has already been shipped to the beautiful lady that does her mom’s hair each week. It sounds like she is a real sweetheart and sends Roberta a picture of either her mom, or the two of them together, each Friday. She has a very natural way with seniors and is very kind, so this Thanksgiving Roberta is thankful for Wendy!...M
