| Pumpkin Patch Mug Rug Pattern |
Hooray
– this is the week that I finally get to share my Glorious Autumn block with
you. Becky at Patchwork Posse and Eleanor of Quilt in a Day have blazed the trail this week over at the
Quilting Gallery so
make sure you pay them a visit. Find out
what makes the Patchsmith’s tick whilst you are there by reading my profile and
make sure you check out the Quilter’s Super deal – there is a different one for
each block release.
But
today is my turn and I would like to introduce you to the Spinning Pumpkin
Block.
The Spinning Pumpkin Block fulfils my three requirements for this block
– it is functional, it is quick and easy to put together and it is suitable for
beginners and experienced quilters alike.
Also the pumpkins spin around the block so it can be viewed from any angle
– isn’t that versatile?I have included a PDF download of the block construction and also included with it a free Patchsmith pattern to turn three of these blocks into a lovely, colourful table runner. Feel free to download this pattern for personal use only. However, this pattern is not to be distributed or sold, neither can items made from it be sold without the Patchsmith’s permission. Don’t forget to add your photos to the Glorious Autumn Flickr group when made so we can all get a good look at them - we are a nosey lot here at Patchsmith Palace!
If time doesn’t allow for you to make the table runner just now then why
not make the Pumpkin Patch mug rug from my Etsy Store. This super little mug rug takes just a couple
of hours to put together and there is plenty of room on it for a cup-of-tea and
a pumpkin muffin. In fact, if you batch
make it (a bit like pumpkin muffins) then you should be able to make one for
you and one to give away in a single afternoon.
