How about a last minute touch for your Halloween décor? Chase of Quarter-Inch Mark has put together a wonderful tutorial and pattern for a very cute and stylish pumpkin! If you like paper piecing or if you're curious about the technique, this is a great little starter project. If you're completely new to paper piecing, Chase provides a link in her quoted text below to an excellent tutorial by one of her friends. More from Chase:
"{Deep breath}... I have been thinking and wanting to learn something new. Finally I taken my time to sit down and visited with my colleague who does great computer work. I explained my ideas and she helped me to start out this {Miss Pumpkin} Paper Piecing Pattern. We sat for many hours in the past week and my notebook is full of step 1, step 2, step 3.... how to change and how to add. It has been a great learning experience and surely I will continually learn to create more patterns and allow myself to explore more ideas.
"{Miss Pumpkin} block finished size is 5"x6". It would be a great size for coasters or little wall hanging! It also would be great for making small pouches. If you are still new for Paper pieing, please make sure to check out great tutorials at Kerry's aka{veryberrykerry}. Paper piecing is time consuming, but it gives great look and it is worth every minute! Enjoy this little pattern!"
