Check my last two posts here and here for progress on this house quilt. I didn't end up using the painted cones. After adding the yarn, they just didn't go.
Ended up with " pumpkin buttons"
I did use cut up driftwood for the fence posts, sewing them on by hand.
This yarn bunch makes a nice flower bush.
All in all I like how the house quilt came out but after working on it for three weeks I am thrilled to move on to other things. Raining today so started a simple landscape and another small one involving a hand holding something. More on those next week :-)
We are in peak foliage season right now here in Vermont. I hope you can get out and enjoy the last joys and beauty of fall this week end.
