New fabric at The Stitching Room and I knew I had to buy the panel, charm packs, and yardage. The fabric is called Pumpkin Farm by Painted Sky Studio for Benartex. The pattern is called "Harvest Time" https://www.benartex.com/fabrics/80V/HarvestTime.pdf and was designed by Heidi Pridemore for Benartex. I did change the pattern a bit in order to use the charm pack (5" squares) instead of cutting yardage. It worked out great. Just adjusted the borders to make it work. Ask me for my measurements if you would like to do the same. I am usually at the shop from 10 - 2 Monday, Wednesday, & Friday.
I always do my own quilting, however, Randi Deem, the owner of The Stitching Room traded some work with me and quilted this quilt with a pattern called "Pumpkin Patch". It is so adorable! It was a difficult thing to give control over to someone else as I always put 100% of myself into my quilts. The quilt will hang in the store for a while as a sample.
I had bought 1 yard off of the bolts that we had in stock so I was able to make a patchwork backing. I hand bound the quilt which finished at approximately 65 1/2" x 84". I made a cute label for the quilt.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of the summer and remember to start on your fall projects as fall is just around the corner.
