New! Fabric Pumpkins!

/

I've given in to fall! Summer had a last gasp well into September but finally the pool is down and cooler temps will prevail. I even created these fabric pumpkins to brighten your day!

Of course I wouldn't use traditional fall colors... I experimented with a few different textiles and I can't pick a favorite! I started with the off-white-with-black-embroidery which are fabric samples I have had for years. Then I moved onto a few embroidered linens. Then I was drawn to the off-white-with-yellow-flowers which is a vintage Waverly print that I have also had forever. Finally I used my collection of linen-blend floral prints in a rainbow of colors. These are also fabric samples. What's that mean?? It means that each of these pumpkins is ONE-OF-A-KIND!

Once the pumpkins were made I needed to figure out stems. A visit to a local craft thrift store yielded various possibilities--cork, knobs, and wooden spools! AND, even the stuffing is recycled from other projects! Beautiful and easy on the earth!

This batch can be found exclusively at Bird in Hand Artisan Village. Custom orders are always welcome. These would be a great gift to share with family members if you have fabrics/textiles that are sentimental to your family.
