I had fun sharing my tutorial yesterday as part of the AccuQuilt Fall Blog Hop. So today I thought I would show you another centerpiece I did using the Fall Medley die.
Pumpkin Centerpiece Tutorial
Be sure to check out my Maple Leaf Centerpiece from yesterday which has a tutorial on how to make the centerpiece and also my giveaway which includes some pumpkins.
Here you can see that I am free-motion appliquing the pumpkins.
I think next time I will cut the stem out of a different color. This time I just filled it in with stitching.
The centerpiece is ready to either have binding put on it or I finished the edge with a zig-zag and then added the cluny lace.
I just used muslin for the back on this one – I thought you might like to see the back.
Finished and ready to be used on our table.
I’m sure you will be seeing more centerpieces for Christmas made in this basic style. I hope you enjoyed seeing another one.
Simon is taking a little nap after a long day of playing with Cricket. They are getting along fine but Bella is still ignoring her……and me.
Cricket looks pretty happy in her new home and on Bella’s favorite blanket.

I love this!! The lace around the edges is a great finish!
It's almost sad that we don't celebrate Halloween or have pumpkins here, they have such a great shape and wonderful colours.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog!

Another great table topper. Thank you for taking the time to create such a great tutorial. I think adding a new kitty or puppy into the fold really brings lots of energy to their new home – kinda revitalizes everything!

Those table topping centerpieces are great. I like how they are reversible.

I love how you stitch down your applique. Is it a regular zig zag or are you doing something else? The look is fantastic and really adds a lot to the finished look.
