Tiny Gobbler Quilt

Wow!  Isn’t it amazing how one tiny

little extra hour of sleep can make

you feel soooo much better??

I got to spend some needed time in

the sewing room today as hubby

and son were both out of town!

I wanted a mini-quilt for my

wire tabletop stand to display

in November, so I made a cute

little turkey with a Pilgrim hat.

I have an Art to Heart book by

Nancy Halvorsen with different

pillows for every month… and

it had a cute turkey pillow for

November… so I changed the size a

bit and added another row of tail

feathers… and then it was

PERFECT!! 

I love, love, love using a purply

blue with the fall leaf colors of red,

orange and gold… it really makes

those colors POP!!

I used fusible applique’ but did

not do a blanket stitch around the

edges, but a straight stitch in black.

I quilted the words “give thanks” and

just stippled everything else.

I sewed on black beads for eyes and

added a red folk art heart button.

I love the Indian corn fabric for the

tiny inner border and had an old

Thanksgiving print for the outer

border.

You can see how the blues in the quilt

over the mantle, the quilt on my red

chair and now this Tiny Gobbler quilt,

really showcase the colors of fall!!

So, what did you do today after an

extra hour of sleep last night??
