Carving Pumpkins

Sunday afternoon I had quilt group. Picked up Deb H. and drove to Marcia M.'s outside of Martell. I didn't get a lot accomplished. I decided to work on my Turning Twenty pattern and cut up the 20 fat quarters into the required sizes. Turns out my fat quarters are not true fat quarters so I'm short fabric. They should be 18x22 but are around 17x20. So much for getting all my cutting done.

When I returned home I had a quick supper, then we carved our pumpkins. I always carve the basic pumpkin with triangle eyes and nose with a three-toothed smile. Cassie thought my pumpkin wasn't scary enough so she drew a face that had a big, scary mouth. She did a great job and Mark had quite a time trying to carve it. But the pumpkins are done and look terrific.
