The Pumpkin Patch Challenge- Desiree's Halloween Pumpkin Patch for Machine Embroidery-



I am excited to offer you another fun, mystery quilt for Halloween, lets see what we can do together! To sign up scroll all the way to the bottom and click on the sign up link. The dates for this class are not important.

Let me tell you about it!!

 I thought it would be fun to do create another awesome quilt or table runner, bench pillow, wall hanging or pillow. It's completely up to you, its is customizable to fit your needs and time schedule.

I have heard it's best if you keep it simple so that it is doable. This time we have created 7 different blocks that are stitched to be a stand alone block or added to others to create a completed block. These are all done in the hoop and then assembled on a sewing machine. Like the 100 day challenge it is completely up to you how you will assemble it but I do have a master plan for those of you who prefer to follow a plan.  You will make eight blocks of each design and then you will get another block with instructions on how to make that block. You can stitch this quilt at your convenience. You can choose to do a very planned color theme or you can just wing it. 

Since its a Halloween Quilt I would suggest gathering you fun Halloween Fabrics, oranges, purples, yellows, dark blues etc for this one. You can use your stash or purchase new fabrics, we will try to offer some fun fabrics along the way in our fabric bundle sales. 

So whats the big deal? Another pumpkin quilt? Well thats where we wanted to have some fun!! You guys know how we love to have fun.

So each lesson you will be given different sets of eyes and mouths. Its up to you to choose the eyes and mouths when creating your pumpkins. This way every quilt will be different!! LOL it makes me so happy!! To see all the unique colors, faces, etc and then to help you guys decide on the layout. It is a way to stretch yourselves by doing a bit of designing!!

I love to give my students and clients freedom and the ability to choose for themselves and make some designs decisions. It gives you confidence when it all comes together.  Plus, by working on this together it gives us all a better chance of finishing. We can cheer each other on and hold each other accountable. I want this to be a fun thing and although it requires a commitment I think it will give us all a sense of accomplishment. I hope to have a slide show presentation of all the things we create before Halloween this year! 

Questions: 

Who is this for? What are the hoop requirements? This one is for Machine embroiders who own a 5"x7" hoop and at least a 7"x11" hoop or larger. There are two sizes to the pumpkins.

What if I don't have a larger hoop? Then you will have to create the pumpkin in the 5"x7" hoop, which by the way is the largest pumpkin.  You will not be able to stitch out the smaller pumpkins. We want everyone to feel like they can join in on the fun. 

I still have lots of questions since I don't really get to see what we are making, how can I ask questions?
 You are always free to email me your questions also.

How will we get our files?
Once you sign up you will be automatically be invited to join my classroom site where we have all the lessons, activities, videos, chats etc.  You will make the required amount of blocks for the project you decide to create and you are free to move on to the next block at your convenience.   Your files include the embroidery files, instructions, photos and sometimes videos.

Is there a place where we all can show off our blocks?
You will also be invited into our FB group where you can share your blocks and progress. Anyone can join the group which is public now but might change to private. If you join and do not sign up please cheer on the participants. Being able to see each others blocks is always so motivating and inspiring. I loved seeing all the variations and colors everyone used during the 100 day challenge. 

What if I sign up late? Will I get the past files?
Yes!! You will get all the files, videos etc so that you are caught up to us. You are free to make it at your own pace but doing it together is such fun!
