Wanna know something so awesome? When I clicked on 'edit in picnik', those of you familiar with flickr and picnik know that these little turning cogs come up on your screen while your photo loads in the editing program. Along with the cogs, the smartypants picnik people always put silly little excuses for why the program takes time to load; things like "setting the table....", or "picking daisies..." Well, this time, and I kid you not, when I clicked to crop this photo of the blocks, it said "carving pumpkins..."
I might have snorted.
If you're in the mood to stitch up some quick improv pumpkins, Kaelin just posted a sweet tutorial for a log cabin pumpkin table runner here. I'm done stitching up the squash, now I'm going to roast one. I love making pumpkin pie from roasted sugar pumpkin and there is always lots leftover for a batch of muffins, too.
It's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend. There will be pumpkin pie!
Happy Halloween, Krista! Great funky pumpkins.
ReplyDeletethey're so cuuuuute, Krista! I especially like the shape of the first one.
ReplyDeleteNeat pumpkins! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThese are SEW cute!! I think I will be digging around in my orange stash today....thanks...(and I don't mean that in a good way! haha) Happy Turkey day!
ReplyDeleteP
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your pie!
ReplyDeleteI really like the pumpkins! And I even have orange scraps...hmmmmm. Thanks for linking to the tutorial. And funny about Piknik. I have never used the program but think I should try. Do you recommend it? I usually use picasa and am not always happy with the editing that it does. Is Piknik free?
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Krista!
How adorable. Such a sweet, simple idea!
ReplyDeleteCute!
ReplyDeleteI do believe I have never actually eaten pumpkin!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Krista! Pumpkin pie sounds brilliant. Maybe we'll make something pumpkinny too...
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Krista! I am really fond of those pumpkins. My kids are right, I don't do much for fall, I jump to Christmas. I will try to fit in a little something...you'd think that the costumes would count, no?
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Krista!
ReplyDeleteYou're pumpkin blocks look great. Might add it to my stiching projects. Thanks for the link!
Mmm... nothing beats pumpkin pie (or in our house pumpkin squares) made from a fresh pumpkin. Leftover pumpkin also goes great in pancakes - with walnuts too!
I really like these pumpkin blocks I keep seeing around in blogtopia! They're on the to do list. But seeing as I just put my foot down and decided I'll be a lazy cow this weekend I don't see any in my near future ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!! The pumpkins are cute and I know what you mean about those little sayings on picknik I get a kick out of them!
ReplyDeletethose pumpkins are so cute. This time of year, and pumpkins, are my favorite. I LOVE Thanksgiving--best holiday ever. Good food, with no pressure for gifts.
ReplyDeleteit is so cute. i really really need some Halloween stuff at my house but my stash of oranges is kind of sad...
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeletePumpkin is one of my favourite vegetables. We eat it steamed, mashed or roasted. Our main varieties are Jap, Kent and Butternut. We don't usually have the large orange pumpkins found at Halloween, which is not usually celebrated here, although the shops try to. Australians don't really 'get' pumkin pie, although pumpkin scones are incredibly tasty. I love your pumpkins - they are good for everyone.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pumpkins! Happy Thanksgiving, I am making pies today too!
ReplyDeletecute pumpkins! I'm definitely in the mood to whip up some blocks for VMQG, now. We'll be doing pumpkin pie, too, I just don't think mine will quite as "from scratch" as yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
he he he I love that is said carving pumpkins - I also like it when comment word verification throws up a nearly rude word - that always makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteHi Krista,
ReplyDeleteI'm doing an online swap with Mary Lou Weidman's yahoo group. We are exchanging pumpkins and gourds. I just posted mine so should hopefully get them back in time to make a fun quilt for fall. We are sending 12 of each type so we end up with 24 blocks altogether.
Some of the colours are very wild. Check out her new Out of the Box pattern book for more inspiration.
Happy Thanksgiving.

You know that i'm totally loving these! The little on on the bottom is my favorite! It makes me want to go dig out some black and orange scraps and make one up for the walls. :)
ReplyDeleteKrista you definitely make magic happen!!! BTW:It is not only the month for Halloween, but breast cancer awareness month!!! Treat yourself or a loved one because you care! I am just stopping by with a reminder to do your self breast exam.
ReplyDeleteHere's a fun place to start! Everybody loves boob lube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p8pIHy2GRI
