Sewing a garden

 This year I tried to grow some pumpkins in a large bucket.  We there is one the size of a Mellon. I'm lucky to have some friends that have a few extra as well as our daughter and her hubby.  Sew in the meantime I decided to sew up a few pumpkin mug mats.

I started with a few and then had a bountiful harvest .

While at our daughter and son in law's I came across a recipe for a zucchini fruit cake. It turned out great. Now to let it mature for a month or sew. 

I have also tested out a pattern for funky friends... a teddy bear that can be made with  clothing to make it a memory teddy. I used some leftover flannel to try it out. It is stuffed with scrap batting that has been cut up very small. It sure is amazing how much stuffing can go inside on little bear.

Happy stitching and enjoy that last days of September.

Half way through September

 Wow how time flys by And seeing the change in the seasons, from the garden getting cleaned off and worked up to seeing the geese gather and fly in the V formation.

I decided to try a market table this fall, it will be more of a early winter market as the date is November 18th.  It is here in town sew very handy to get to. I've been doing some sewing for this.  Making a number of different items for my table, from oven mitts to rope bowls and baskets and a few jelly roll rugs. I hope to take a few quilts as well and get a few runners done too.  My plan is to work up a lot of my fabric on hand and then maybe in the new year I will go shopping for any extras I might need.

I have also recently received a few Victoria Quilts quilts to quilt up sew that they can be given out to those in need. They are for anyone going through cancer. I know Canada and the United States have chapters of Victoria Quilts, I'm  not sure if other countries have similar organizations. 

I am Great Great Auntie now sew I did up a little baby gift for the little guy. I enjoy making these big Christmas stockings for baby gifts and seeing a photo of the baby in the stocking.

Here is a busy bee on some wild flower roadside coming home from the lake. I would like to either draw or stitch a picture with this photo.

Well that's all for the moment. Happy stitching this week my friends.
