Sleeping in a Pumpkin Patch.

Last night I fell asleep under the stars. . .

And woke up in a pumpkin patch.

The moon was shining brightly.

And I could hear the leaves rustling in the wind.

I listened carefully and I heard a little owl hooting softly in the background.

Still I slept cozy underneath my blanket of wool pumpkins and stars.

I just made the ticking pillowcases.  I could kick myself for not making them King size.  What was I thinking?  Obviously I wasn’t. lol!

The little wool pillows were made years ago.  (Although the tall one was just recently stuffed).  Thanks to my cousin.  She took it home and finished it for me.  They worked perfectly with my Fall quilt.

I shared this quilt last year when I made it, but thought I would share it again with the pillows.  I was able to use lots of my scrap pieces for this quilt.  Some of the wool was cut from old skirts of my cousins. 

I love touches of wool!  Just remember that if you use wool in a quilt (or any project that will be washed) to prewash the wool.  Other wise it will shrink..

Just wondering, would you like to sleep in a pumpkin patch?  Might be kind of fun!

hugs,

Jann

Your fall quilt is wonderful, and so are your other pretty decorations. Everything looks so cozy! I liked the branch with leaves and the little owl with the colorful beads on his head. I bought two little stuffed owls this year. Maybe if I add some little beads to them it will cute them up a little.

Love the new pillow slips. I made some with blue ticking last spring -- now I'm thinking the grandkids might need some red ticking ones to sleep on during Christmas! Take care, Sally
