Kim’s Pumpkins in a Row
Hello there,
Even though Halloween is behind us now, it’s still pumpkin season!! Which I love!! Let’s talk about this fun “Pumpkins in a Row” runner, that Kim made, pattern by Joanna from Fig Tree & Co.
You may have seen this runner a few times lately from me, I’ll get to that later… The beautiful fabrics are also by Joanna from Fig Tree & Co., it’s her All Hallows Eve line. Which is the classiest Halloween fabric line ever, in my opinion.
Kim made this for a store sample, so I wanted to have some fun with the quilty textures.
Let’s start with the background. That’s my Grass design, lovely huh?!?! It just so happens to be one of the designs that I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion™ course. If you’ve wanted to learn, go check it out in my shop. It’s such a fun design that I have used on many quilts…and oh so forgiving, as far as freemotion quilting goes.
I also quilted some pebbles and swirls, every other one, in the 1” inner border. Such a fun touch! I used to do just the pebbles in the thinner borders like that, then I saw my friend Natalia Bonner quilt pebbles and swirls every other one. I love those little touches. I also teach you how to quilt that in my Pebbles video, in my Quilting It Freemotion™ course.
I like to keep super thin borders simple, like the little orange 1/2” border, so I just quilted right down the middle of it. Then of course ribbon candy!! It is definitely a custom quilting go to design. I’m thinking of videoing that and putting it on my Quilting It Freemotion Facebook page, that is for those who purchase my entire course, as a freebie.
I also did some fun ruler work in the pumpkins, with some swirly fun vines that the top of the pumpkins. I used my favorite 8” Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple. This is such a fun table runner to quilt!! It’s all about the details.
So…if you saw the promo video for my Quilting It Freemotion™ course, then you saw me quilting part of this runner. If you didn’t see it, check it out above!!
Thanks for stopping by, happy quilting!! - Leisha
