Pumpkin Patch Placemats
It’s that time of year again…Autumn! When the leaves start falling and the weather gets crisp, my mind always goes to those wonderfully festive orange-hued gourds that come in so many shapes and sizes: Pumpkins! Autumn just couldn’t be celebrated without displaying pumpkins in some way, which is why it’s the perfect time to introduce you to my newest project: Pumpkin Patch Placemats! These beauties are worked up on the Zippy Loom, so they’re super fast to complete.
You’ll have two pumpkin shapes to choose from; Version One as viewed from the top, and Version Two as viewed from the side. Version One will be a wonderful decorative accent at the center of the table; or make two of them, stitch back to back, add a little stuffing and you’ve got a pumpkin pillow! Version Two will be perfect for setting a festive fall table.
