Leaves were blowing off the Mountain Ash yesterday - yellow sleet flying. As I was driving out to the dental office my thoughts drifted back to this time of year while teaching school. I would be doing Halloween projects with the kids ~ cutting out pumpkins, accordion pleating dangling legs, cutting and pasting witches heads as well as doing math activities with pumpkins. Those were fun times. Caitlin asked me last night if I missed teaching... I'm on the fence! It was a wonderful time but it was wearing me out. I loved working with kids and doing projects.
As I was browsing in my favorite on-line quilt shop I saw a pattern for vegetable cats...weird. I printed off the pumpkat photo and thought about copying the idea. I drew a version on freezer paper, cut out the pieces, found scraps of fabric to machine applique and went to work. Machine applique with invisible thread made the project a quick one. I had fun using some silver metallic thread to give the whiskers a little sparkle. I thought it could be used as a banner outside, a table topper, or a wall hanging during pumpkin time!
