Swapping- Halloween / Samhain/ Autumn Swap at Bits of Goodness




I just mailed off these fabric pumpkins for a swap at the Yahoo Group Bits of Goodness.  I posted about the group previously HERE. 

It is a Waldorf inspired group that runs swaps based on seasonal themes.  It is a requirement to use natural materials.  Now, I do not have children at home anymore but I do anticipate grandchildren someday so I am store-housing the goodies I get for them. 

These fall pumpkins are based on a pattern from Wee Folk Art.  If you are not familiar with the site, be sure to check them out.  They are very generous with free patterns.

  3. I love your fabric pumpkins. Thanks for the pattern link. I am so jealous that you live in New England. I expect you have such beautiful fall colours on the trees right now.
