Sherbet Pumpkins

It has been our family tradition to decorate sherbet pumpkin faces every year for

Andrew's October birthday.

This is what they look like ( after they have melted a little- sorry!)

Here is a picture of Andrew and Emily.

Andrew is holding his pumpkin with a candle in it.

Here are the kids decorating theirs.


If you want to make one,
Cut a container of orange sherbet down the side and slice off thin, round slices.
Add a green candy to the top and make a jack'o lantern face out of candy corn and m &m's, etc.
Or if you are a little kid- just dump on as much candy as you can and eat it.

ENJOY!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

vintage baby quilt

A couple of weeks ago, I went to a garage sale with my daughter. We saw this bag and thought it was made out of the Cutest fabric! However, it was a very odd shaped bag. I bought it thinking that the fabric ( + cute blue Aunt Grace that the lining was made out of) would go great with some red and yellow vintage fabrics scraps I bought in Sisters, Oregon.So it took the bag apart! Here is the fabric and pattern all ready to make a cute baby quilt!

Voila, the finished top- I used every scrap!

I tried for close up views!

Now to decide what to use for the back and binding!

It has to be something I have- that's my new rule!

Can't wait to finish it!

Finished Tops

I finished some quilt tops which I started a few months ago.

I am excited to show that they are done.

The first is a quilt I made from April Cornel Fabrics

Here is one of the borders that I embroidered and sewed flowers on.

Here is the finished center with the two side borders

And finally, the whole quilt top.

The flowers and leaves are raw edge applique and after I quilt it I will sew buttons in the center of each flower. I'm hoping it will be as cute as the one I saw in the store.

I also finished two tops made out of Paris Flea Market Fabric.

When I made this first top I used a dark green print for the posts and when it was finished,


I wished they weren't so prominent - the blocks were supposed to "float"

So I made a second top and used a lighter green for the posts.

Can you tell the difference?

I do like them both!


I am Happy to have them done!
