Best of Halloween 2013: Part 3

For part 3 of our Best of Halloween series, here is a wonderful Autumn Harvest quilt featuring large and small pumpkins and, of course, a black cat.

Autumn Harvest, 36 x 36", by Susan Haase, 2013 DVQG

Susan Haase says: "I love to applique and I love Pearl (Pereira's) patterns*. I started this quilt to have it finished by December 2012 for my mini group's Christmas meeting. I had part of it finished but made the [September 2013] DVQ quilt show my final deadline. Raising a 4 year old doesn't give me much time to quilt"!

There was some really lovely applique work on this piece, not to mention the cute embroidered face on the cat. You have to look closely to find all the critters in this fun wall hanging.  Can you pick out the little gray mouse, the bumble bee and ladybug?

Last but not least, here is a squirrel gathering acorns, while a crow perches on top of the pumpkin.
