Hi ,

Yes, I'm going a bit pumpkin crazy!

I had to quilt another pumpkin block to try out more of the Twisted Tendril design, and to play with other ways to free motion quilt the pumpkin shape.

If you're feeling the season and are inspired by Fall colors for your projects, we have a brand new Autumn colored fat quarter pack!

This pack of 6 fat quarters is only $14.99, which is just $2.50 each!

This collection of six autumn seasonal 100% cotton Island Batik fat quarters is the perfect start to a gorgeous fat quarter collection. Each fabric is precut to 18" x 22" which is the perfect size for cutting many shapes for a new quilt.

Since I'm going pumpkin crazy, it's seems only fitting that I share my family's recipe for pumpkin bread. This recipe has been a favorite for years, both because it's so easy and foolproof, and because it makes such delicious bread!

Most of the time I use this recipe to bake bread, but James is such a fan of muffins that I had to try baking a set of those for him too.

It works great either way, and it makes a LOT, so this is a great recipe to use for holiday baking so you'll have plenty of bread or muffins to give to friends and family this year.

Along the way of machine quilting so many pumpkins I stumbled across this cool pumpkin vine quilting design.

I wanted a free form loopy line that would appear almost like a twisted ribbon. With a bit of experimenting I've created Twisted Tendril!

This funky design is super easy to quilt and it's a great skill builder for both echoing and travel stitching.

The best thing about it? It's supposed to be slightly messy so even if your stitching isn't perfect, it's still going to look great!
