Autumn Pumpkin Jumpin

I am determined that as long as there is no snow in the office parking lot, it is still Autumn. Therefore, to celebrate Autumn, I finally 'finished' this cute wall hanging enough that I could bring it in and hang it in my office. I started it a couple years ago on the island, where I bought the pattern and fabric and started tracing the shapes. Last year I got the background and pieced border sewn. This year I got all the shapes cut out and ironed on to the background and got the other borders added. In keeping with this trend, I think next year I will do the fancy stitching around all the cut outs and the following year I will quilt it. So with the binding and hanging sleeve I figure it will be another 3 years until it is truly done, but it makes me smile. I hope the snow holds off until I can get the snowflake one ready to hang. That one has been waiting much longer, but is finally cut out.
