Harvest Time Display

I fell in love with this pattern when I saw it. I knew it had to be done with Kaffe Fassett fabric. 

I began to do the hand embroidery and it was just taking too long. I bartered with my mother and she did the embroidery for me in return for some longarm quilting. 

Don't you just LOVE these fabrics?

Harvest Time

I love everything about Fall. I haven't made any Fall quilts the last few years because since opening the shop we seem to spend so much time on Christmas.

I was determined this year that I was going to concentrate on Fall.

I started by ordering Kaffe Fassett fabrics with Fall colors and I had to have the Peppered Cotton in Rust.

When I saw this pattern I knew it was something I wanted to make.

Here are some of the blocks coming together.

I have to tell you I did not do the hand embroidery.

I wanted to do it but I did not want to spend all that time on it. I started doing the hand embroidery, and after 4 hours all I had done was the hat of the scarecrow. I just didn't have time for that. My mom loves hand embroidery and she is very quick at it, so I asked her to do it for me. 

The embroidery is done in a dark green variegated Pearl Cotton and it is gorgeous!

Since it is a shop sample I quilted it quickly to get it done. Even though I did not quilt around all of the embroidery it still looks pretty good. I just quilted some windy swirls.
