Peter and Peter are Pumkin Eaters is my new Folk Art Fusion piece for Fall. It will be part of my trunk show that I take to teach workshops and give lectures on Folk Art Fusion. I knew I wanted to add the colorful border, but what I decided to do at the last minute was to hand stich the border with my Valdani Floss. I used the same colors for the hand stitching on the wool applique. The shelf was handmade in the USA by some sweet folks. I knew the minute I saw it that it was going to go in my dining room.
David carved those pumpkins on the mantel. They are called "funkins" as they are made from foam and won't ever rot! Yippee!! I'll take photos of them lit up later on and post them so you can see how cool they are.
Well, now it's time to start designing my Winter piece. Hmmmm....bunnies and winter..bunnies and winter....I got it! :)
Hugs to you!
