Scarecrow and Pumpkins
I vaguely remember making this wall quilt. I do not remember at all who designed the pattern, or if it was a kit, or actually … anything about it. Unfortunately, I put it away without adding a label, a big no-no for someone who has too much on her mind and is increasingly forgetful.
So, I am posting it for you to enjoy, but also to ask if anyone has seen this design somewhere before? I’m really stumped, and would like to add a label for posterity, noting who designed this piece. Ach! Maybe someone can help!
This time of year is such fun. When Jim went grocery shopping last week, he brought home a bag of candy corn: nice big pieces with orange, white and yellow stripes. That is one of my favorite candies. He has purchased other Halloween candy (and hid it away from both of us!). It is always a guess as to who might or might not show up at the door. We live in a neighborhood that has mostly adults, some with small babies.
Usually, teenagers show up, sometimes driving themselves around. This year I wonder if the threat of swine flu will cut down on the number of kids who go trick or treating. At any rate, it’s always fun the costumes!
I enjoyed making this decorative quilt. Now, I’d like to discover its mysteries.
P.S. I just found a similar quilt in an old photo album of show quilts, so I know this design was not mine. I’d love to give the designer credit on my label, just because it is the right thing to do. If no one knows the answer readily, I’ll begin searching through patterns and books … an awesome task!
