Machine Quilt an Easy Pumpkin Patch

The weather is finally cooling down and the leaves are changing colors so it’s starting to feel like fall. Let’s bring the season into our quilts with this whimsical Pumpkin Patch quilting design!

Quilting Pumpkin Patch felt like the perfect quilting design for this week. I love the little pumpkin shapes connected together with a single Loopy Line. If you wanted to stitch the design up a notch, you could change thread colors and stitch along the loopy line again with green thread just to add a bit of extra texture and color to the design.

The best thing about Pumpkin Patch is how easy and quick it will fill your quilts with texture. If you make the pumpkins bigger and add lots of Loopy Line between them, you will quickly fill your quilts to the brim with creative Autumn-themed texture.

When quilting detailed designs like this, getting a good grip on the quilt is really important. I wear Machingers quilting gloves when machine quilting because the lightweight rubber tips help grip the quilt so I can move it smoothly under the needle to create all the shapes for the design.

You can find Machingers quilting gloves along with a Queen Supreme Slider and bobbin washers – the three tools I use on my machines every single day in the Queen Supreme Kit. Click Here to check it out!

I’ve been working on a collection of hoop quilts for this fall and popped my little sample into a five inch hoop that I’d wrapped with green bias binding. Make sure to check out the podcast with Anne Marie Chany to learn more about Hoop Quilts.

I’m officially a Hoop Quilt junkie and I plan to fill several hoops with beautiful designs and simple patchwork for this fall. Next week I have a spooky Halloween themed design so make sure to check back in for more beautiful textures and designs.

Let’s go quilt,

P.S – Guess what is coming this week? A quilting frame! Yes, I will be moving the Grace Qnique 14+ downstairs to a frame for the first time and sharing new videos as I learn how to quilt moving the machine instead of the quilt.

I plan to shoot more videos on the Grace Qnique in the table so let me know what videos you’d like to see and any tutorials we’re missing before we make the switch!
