Our challenge was to think Turkeys, thankfulness, Thanksgiving fabric, or beautiful colors of Fall. I did the last option, and stitched up some wool felt pieces in lovely Fall tones.

First, I found a leaf shape online and made a bunch of Autumn leaves using scraps of wool felt.

Then I arranged them in a circle and topped them with a pumpkin I made using this pattern from the Lia Griffith website:

I think it makes a nice table display!

Happy Thanksgiving!

For my project I designed and stitched a simple 16" table mat that features a Halloween icon; Ghosts!

I constructed it using a similar method to English Paper Piecing. Coffin shapes were stitched together in pairs, and to one-another as I went. I only used two colors of wool felt, black and white and the white coffins feature ghost faces. Then I added a circle pair in the center.
