Joan of Moose Stash Quilting is the wonderful host of the Monster Mash Blog Hop.
The Challenge … Sew and share something scary, not scary, or something in between. If it’s Halloween related you know we will love it!
Well, I don’t like scary … so mine is not scary! Just a simple pumpkin to hang on my front door. It was fun to make the strips a little improv, and then I squared it up. Believe it or not, this took me about 5 days to make, doing a little here and a little there! Although, I’m positive I could have made it in a few hours! 😁
Stats:
- Size: 12.5″ x 16″
- Fabric: Strips from Island Batik’s “Opulent Orange” 10″ stack paired with “Mocha.”
- Hobbs 80/20 Batting is inside
- Quilted with Aurifil #3817 (Variegated Marrakesh) on my domestic Janome M7.

Thank you! To be honest, I started out with 2.5″ strips and found it too boring. So, I have to re-do and do the improv! 🙂

Gail I love your pretty pumpkin! It’s perfect for the front door. I don’t do scary either, and that seems to be the emphasis nowadays. Give me pumpkin decor with a skeleton or ghost thrown in, not the creepy stuff. 😀
