Hi Quilting Friends,

Welcome gnome! We’re excited to join the “Gnome for Thanksgiving”, hosted by our friend Joan from MooseStash Quilting. We’re thankful to Joan for everything that she has done to organize these fun blog hop events.

Here’s the challenge-

To “Gnome” them is to love them! Throw a little Thanksgiving twist into your “Gnomie” project! Or anything that shows you’re thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving! It’s nearly time to gather with friends and family, and to be thankful for our blessings. Sharon will be hosting our family Thanksgiving gathering this year. Here are a few of the autumn designs that we’ve created, all available in Ms P’s Pattern Shop!

The fabrics that I chose for this project were inspired by the colors in the sparkly autumn striped fabric that I “liberated” from Susan’s stash. All of the applique and star block pieces are Toscana from Northcott Fabrics, and the creamy print background is “Apple Cider” from P&B Textiles.

I quilted the star block with matching thread, and then added free-motion pebble quilting in cream thread on the backgrounds. The binding is the same stripe as the borders.

I haven’t had the time yet to play around with this design, but I think that it would be quite easy to modify it to suit one’s needs. For example, if you need a longer table runner, just add more star blocks. If you want a set of place mats, omit one of the applique panels and re-position the pieces on the now-vertical panel.

We’re thankful that you’ve taken the time to stop in and read all the way to the end of this post, and we hope that you’ve enjoyed seeing our project. So, what are YOU most thankful for? Drop a comment; it makes our day! Keep on reading to find the list of today’s participating bloggers.

Happy quilting,

Sharon & Susan

  3. So I’m thinking you like Gnomes. Do you have them for other seasons too or just these cuties. Great little table runner for holiday celebrations. Your little buddies look like they are celebrating already.
