I finished my project for Island Batik early this month!

For this project I used the Wedge die from accuquilt

and these lovely fall fabrics from Island Batik

I sewed them into a table topper

Then I got out my fall medley die and ironed heat n bond on the back of scraps and cut out two pumpkins and 4 acorns

And I got Marjorie’s embroidery designs for this set too and I merged both a pumpkin and two acorns on my machine.

I embroidered two sets on opposite sides and off set to the side

Then I free motion quilted it in a variegated thread, I had fun adding bubbles, leaves and feathers all over it.

Meanwhile my little helper was SO helpful and pulled my batiks off of the shelves and re-sorted them

  1. Cute project, did you make 2 different ones or is it just the cell phone that made it look pinkish?

    Great shape for the project. It adds so much interest. Pretty colors. Adding some type of applique is such a finishing touch.
