Harvest Time !

The leaves, the wind, and the occasional chill in the air simply means the countdown to Halloween is officially on! Do you have a favorite quilt or decorations to display at this time of year? This fun blackwork embroidery quilt highlights many elements of the fall season.

Harvest Time, 52 x 56", by Sandra Crane


The embroidery blocks in this fall-themed quilt include a smiling scarecrow, pumpkins, a cornucopia, sunflowers, and acorns, superimposed with pieced churn dash and flying geese blocks in autumn colors. Sandra Crane says, “I am a gardener so fall is usually the final harvest. A FALL quilt can go up mid September and down end of November. Much longer than a Halloween one. The colors also remind me of the change of seasons.”


Mr. Scarecrow has a Jack-o-lantern face, perfect for Halloween !  He sports overalls with embroidered patches, and a hat adorned with a sunflower. (Note: we're still searching for the source of this cute pattern.)

  1. Love it. For me this is the first successful marriage of embroidery and patchwork I've seen. Usually they don't have enough contrast. Thanks for sharing.
