This is a very old wallhanging - about 15 years old - and it was made when I still was doing satin stitch machine applique. From one of the Red Wagon books written by some women in Liberty, Mo., I really like this primitive style - but then there are soooo many styles that I like! I had just hand quilted around the figures and that was all so therefore it was puffy with lots of unquilted space. At the time, my machine quilting was minimal and I was not about to put anymore work in the piece. It's kind of cute but didn't merit hours of hand quilting.

| It didn't take too long to do some quick and not really very good loop-de-loop quilting in the background, some lines on cornstalks and pumpkin- - but then I decided to do some pumpkins on a string in the borders and completed one side. WRONG! They looked terrible - so spent quite a while ripping them out and then doing my usual wavy lines which went quickly. So the little old wallhanging is now finished albeit not really very well. However, at a distance it looks okay and it does look like autumn. (Click to enlarge) |
