Thanks so much for sharing your work with us. I really like the pin cushions. Do you hot glue the flowers on? I have often wondered how those scented hotpads were made. Love your candy jar quilt. Looks good enough to eat!

I never thought of the pumpkins as pincushions. They are really just for decorations. But guess you can use them for the pincushions. And yes, you glue the flowers on. It's so fun decorateing them. And they are so super easy to make. I know there are two different sizes of them in the pattern. Seems like there might be 3 sizes. But my memory isn't as good as it used to be.

Those hot pads are so easy to make. A friend had bought one. She asked me if I could make her some new ones. So she gave me her old one. I'm not sure what was in the old one she had. It looked like kitty litter. But it was scented. Don't know if kitty litter will scent or not. Never tried that. But it is heavier than rice. I just took hers apart and took measurements.
I'm going to be making some new colors soon. I'll do a tuterial.

Thank you! I dug out all my ornie supplies today. So now I have a table full of all that stuff. If I get one done a day, it will be that many done. But I'll probably get more than that done a day. Depends on how much time I spend on them. And which ones I do.

Also want to do some more pumpkins.

Could you please possibily give us a few pics as you 'make' your pumpkins. Doesn't have to be too detailed. Just wondering how you get the stem on.

[quote=SandyinZ4]Oh, I can tell you how to put your stem on. Hot glue gun!!! Just make sure you put plenty on to hold it good. Most people won't pick the whole pumpkin up. They pick it up by the stem.

Really cute, I love the claus' and the bug jar quilt fabric is really interesting. I've never made hot pads, what do you use for the batting? The pumpkins are really cute too. :-)

Very nice.

I like the idea of using the pumpkins for pin cushions.
