Acorn Biscornu, and Fall pinkeeps
I stitched 2 projects but decided to drag out some of the old Fall theme stitched pieces for finishing. Finally, the weather in the Texas area is cooling off a little. The ragweed should be gone in one week or so. All the pins that I am using in my pinkeeps this time were hand dyed by me. I just love experimenting the colors. The orange pins actually have some "white" in them but I don't think the pictures will show those little details.
Cricket Collection Acorn Biscornu. I stitched it in 18 counts linen fabric because of the size of the design. If I stitch this one over one, it will be too small on 28 counts fabric. 18 counts is the perfect size for this cute Biscornu and I was able to find a button to match.
Blackbird Design "Autumn Bouquet" and I only stitch part of the design and put it into a box.
The picture is not too clear when taken with the glass on. I bought the wood box at Hobby Lobby.
Lizzie Kate Fall Pinkeep
Prairie schooler Fall pinkeep, I changed the color of the Bird, I just don't like Black bird.
Heart in Hand Thankful pinkeep:
Heart in Hand Autumn Pinkeep, this is my favorite:
This is from a Pine Mountain pillow design:
A cute Halloween design from Sweetheart tree:
I still have a few more pieces to do the finishing and I will post the pictures next week. Thank you so much for the wonderful comments you all left on my blog. Special thank you for the bloggers that awarded me with "You make me smile award". .....Suzanne, Vonna, Lesley, and Lelia.
Have a great Halloween. I am taking my son out in the neighborhood tonight. He is going to be Bob the builder. This coming Saturday, there is a big Quilt show in the Houston area and I am going there with a new stitcher friend that I have never met. Silver needle will have a booth there as well. I am looking forward to this special event and this will be my first time going there. Anyone else is going?

Wow Anita! You've been in a finishing frenzy and all of them so lovely.
It would be difficult to choose a favourite but I do love the acorn biscornu.
All of the fabrics you chose for backing these pieces are so nice.
As always a real treat to view your lovely finishes.

Your needle has certainly been busy Anita. I love how you have co-ordinated the backing fabrics so well with your finishes and what a perfect match the acorn button is on your biscornu. congratulations!!
Hello Anita,
As always your stitching is a treat to look at. Everything is gorgeous. Your stitching is so beautiful, and you have used such complimentary fabrics. I love your color choices for the pins.
I have been thinking of Christmas stitching too!
Enjoy the quilt show you will be going to, and Happy Halloween!
Lovely stitching and finishings as always :)
What wonderful new finishes, Anita!! Just perfect with the matching backing fabric and that cute button! Beautiful!
All those finishes are so lovely - eveything matches the stitching so nicely, yet doesn't detract from it.
It's very hard to pick a favourite, but I think I like the Acorn Biscornu best, although I have some of the other designs in my stash to stitch! LOL

Woowee Anita,
Your post was well worth waiting for. What a feast for the eyes. You have been so busy and created some fantastic pieces. It just shows how much pleasure we get from, not only stitching up these pretty designs but, finishing them off too. I have several in a folder just lying there between the covers...aaah...haha!
I love all your finishes especialy the little Sweetheart tree design. I also love your pumpkin backing fabric. It's sooo pretty.
Thanks for sharing.
I hope Michael had a great time as Bob the Builder

Gorgeous fall stitching and finishing Anita!
All of your finished pieces are wonderful!
I am usually in Houston this time of year for Quilt Festival. Was unable to go this year (have only missed twice in 11 years!). I love to see my friends and to attend that HUGE show! Hope you had fun.
Your fall pinkeeps are fantastic. I enjoyed looking at them. Fall is my favorite time of year, so I appreciate all the stitching.
Annita, you finishes are so wonderful !!! You did a great job !!! I love them all !!!
Wow you are a busy lady! Great finishes! Have fun at the festival!
wow!!! Wonderful autumn finishes!!!
Love the acorn button on the the biscornu!
Wow - so many pinkeeps - do you keep them all yourself (and have an enormous collection, LOL) or are they all distributed among friends and family?
And just to let you know, Starflake is designed by Patricia Ann Designs (http://www.patricia-ann-designs.com).
Wow, so many lovely pieces! You have been busy!
Enjoy the quilt show - it's sounds great - i'd love to go to one.
I love all your pinkeeps Anita, you must have been stitching at every opportunity, and I love the little leaf buttons you have used and the acorn one as well. Gorgeous work.
Wonderful finishes. I especially like the acorn biscornu. What Cricket chart is that on? That little Sweetheart Tree design is there number one selling design, I just love it.
thanks for the chart info, I have that but didn't recognize it. I like your color variation so much more. I also noticed you did Autumn Silouhette from Blackbird I have been trying to get that sold out chart for a while now. Your version is great.
GREAT finishes!!!!!
A really wonderful work, I love all of them !!
