A Fabric Covered Pumpkin

 After watching a few videos on YouTube, I thought I would have a go
at covering a polystyrene pumpkin which I bought on eBay with a
piece of fabric left over from a fat quarter.

It turned out to be quite simple, with the bonus of not using any glue.
I started by removing the stalk and making the centre hole bigger using scissors
and a chopstick!

Next, I placed the the pumpkin onto the fabric and started bringing the sides
up to the centre, using the chopstick to press the fabric into the hole.
Lastly, I placed the stalk back into the pumpkin to finish. 

I added it to my autumnal display, which includes the crochet pumpkin and
memory sock pumpkin which I made last year.

The details of how I made the pumpkins can be found HERE and HERE

The polysterene pumpkins came in a set of three, so I think I'll use some
different fabric to cover the other two.

A Quilted Box for my Caravanning Friends

 Today, I am sharing another quilted box I made recently, for my friends 
to use in their caravan.

The material is a Nutex fat quarter called Getaway Caravans which I 

found on eBay.

I know it's being well used and is full of different bits and bobs.

I really enjoy making these quilted boxes, especially when I can personalise
 them with special fabric.
