    I had some orange chenille fabric forever, so I thought "why not make two more stuffed pumpkins"!!!. These are so soft and squishy! I almost threw this 1/2 of yard of chenille out this year when I was cleaning out my "old fabric pile". I think I had it laying around for at least 9 or ten years. I glued the artificial leaves on the top and added some raffia. Thanks for looking.

    Oh I LOVE them! Orange is one of my no thank you colors but I love love love fall and pumpkins are a favorite. I collect all sorts of pumpkins and these would be great in my collection! Now I need to go buy some chenille!!

    I have cut out wooden pumpkins and have other styles. One of my favorite ways to do the stems is to snap off real stems and keep them and glue them on the homemade pumpkins.
