Want to see what I made when I "MIXED" up ~ Patchsmith Patterns applique
with
Oh yes , and mix in "some" 2009 Moda Mill House Inn fabric that I have in my stash. (Is this vintage yet?) (And, do yards, and yards, of fabrics and a few charm packs count as "some"?)
Halloween and Thanksgiving Mug Rugs pattern book . This book has 10 patterns !
I used the "Primitive Pumpkin " pattern for my pillow.

Now, I had this pretty 12 inch block, with this super cute fall pumpkin and crow applique in the corner. ( Just waiting to put out for fall !) I decided to make this block into a 14 inch pillow. I simply added a 1 1/2 inch border sash on each side, and picked out a Mill House Inn Rose Red fabric for the backing.

Now, if you are a regular reader of my blog, you will have guessed by now that I couldn't just look at stare and adore this sweet little, lonely, pillow for the whole fall...
Before I knew it, I had another Modalove block all layed out with different fabrics and colors from my Mill House Inn stash. ( And, I knew I had a book of applique patterns to choose from for this next pillow !)

I like mixing fronts and backs together, too.
Oops! How When did that third pillow (with the butterscotch fabric) slip in there?!

I have really loved working with all of these color and applique combinations!
What fun it will be to look at my "mixed " up pillows this fall!
