I've had my eye on the bags of petite pumpkins ever since they came in season but: 1) didn't want a whole bag of them, and 2) was too cheap to spend the money. So this last week when in town they had them in a bin at give away prices. Now who can pass up a bargain. And no, I am not going to cook with them. Being a quilter and not a cook you can well guess what happened to these happy little guys.
Aren't they cute :-) The colors are so wonderful! It was a sunny day so for the photo shoot I put down black material and just put the little guys on it. The sun was coming through the slider and gave me all the shadows I wanted. From there the pictures were downloaded to Photo Elements and played with and printed out. I'm still working small since I can only print on 8 1/2 X 11 sheets of paper. But small is good.
At first I didn't think I had the right colors.... until I started pulling out my stash. This is so made for fall that it might actually get finished before the bananas!
The bananas have not been forgotten and there are now 50 French knots on the plate with probably another 1,000 to be added. Its a great project for watching TV with.
Update on Bill Bryson's book "At Home". It is not witty but it is filled with trivia that is fascinating. It is not a 'can't put down page turner' but every page is filled with something interesting.
Happy Fall Days!
