Last night I fell asleep under the stars. . .
And woke up in a pumpkin patch.
The moon was shining brightly.
And I could hear the leaves rustling in the wind.
I listened carefully and I heard a little owl hooting softly in the background.
Still I slept cozy underneath my blanket of wool pumpkins and stars.
I just made the ticking pillowcases. I could kick myself for not making them King size. What was I thinking? Obviously I wasn’t. lol!
The little wool pillows were made years ago. (Although the tall one was just recently stuffed). Thanks to my cousin. She took it home and finished it for me. They worked perfectly with my Fall quilt.
I shared this quilt last year when I made it, but thought I would share it again with the pillows. I was able to use lots of my scrap pieces for this quilt. Some of the wool was cut from old skirts of my cousins.
I love touches of wool! Just remember that if you use wool in a quilt (or any project that will be washed) to prewash the wool. Other wise it will shrink..
Just wondering, would you like to sleep in a pumpkin patch? Might be kind of fun!
hugs,
Jann

Wow - such a beautiful quilt! Really fits with the fall theme too. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness, the quilt is gorgeous. All my favorite colours. You are a very talented lady. Cute post, too. Deb
I never thought about sleeping in a pumpkin patch, but seeing your gorgeous bedding makes me want to now! Your talents are amazing, it makes you want curl up and nap.

how beautiful! I love the quilt and the wool pillows. The pillow cases are AWESOME! Love the ticking with the orange. Awesome touch!
Love.. Love.. Love ! Love the quilt , love the pillow ! You do beautiful work ,Jann !
Your fall quilt is wonderful, and so are your other pretty decorations. Everything looks so cozy! I liked the branch with leaves and the little owl with the colorful beads on his head. I bought two little stuffed owls this year. Maybe if I add some little beads to them it will cute them up a little.
Love the new pillow slips. I made some with blue ticking last spring -- now I'm thinking the grandkids might need some red ticking ones to sleep on during Christmas! Take care, Sally
That is a beautiful quilt, so pretty!
I love it! and I love the way you write your fun posts. And yes, I would sleep in a pumpkin patch! :)
I hope you found the perfect place for your garland and that I got the colors right! ♥
