Thanks calla! That is super cute! Like I need anything else to do. LOL!! You know I will be making these!

Cute!!

They had these at our LQS last year ... here and there around the shop for fall decorations.

To plump out the pumpkin a little, cover the toilet paper with some poly batting first, then put on the FQ.

Strange enough the FQ sales rose during that time for all the appropriate fall colours, as all the quilters just had to have a pumpkin of their own.

Aren't you just the most crafty person. Thanks for sharing, I like the idea.

I made a bunch of these a couple of years ago. Everyone thought it was a cute idea. Fun easy project.

Hi, Did you ever post how your sales went on the pillow cases? If so, I missed it. How did it go>

smagruder 08-26-2011 03:27 AM

Sorry, the above post was for cjomomma.

What a cute idea for storing the few extra rolls in the bathroom --- turn them into decorations! :D Hmmmm.... now need an idea to do something like that for Christmas.

Alice Woodhull 08-26-2011 03:30 AM

Twist up a paper sack and stick it in for the stem. Also, add some leaves and stick them in before you put in the stem.

Now here's one that will never go gray and squishy on you.

WMUTeach 08-26-2011 03:58 AM

Cool! I can see a whole collection of various pumpkin orange colors sitting on my counter. Thanks!

peabee 08-26-2011 04:26 AM

talk about EASY!!!! great quickie!

lynndianne 08-26-2011 04:57 AM

I made a bunch of those a few years ago. I did the stem a little different. I took a piece of brown bag (5 inches long), rolled it into a tight roll and then doubled it. Then you wind twine around it (glueing as you go).When it dries, stick it into the hole (put a little glue around edge to make it stick). I put them around the house in the fall.

I was at a meeting last spring and they had used floral prints and felt leaves. Cute.

Kmeyer 08-26-2011 05:27 AM

For the stem, I usually take olive green felt and cut it into 3" strips and roll it up and stick it in the top with some silk leaves.

annthreecats 08-26-2011 05:36 AM

I would add some fiberfill to make it more round, but that is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

MargeD 08-26-2011 05:40 PM

Very cute and I love that fabric. Thanks for the post.

blueheavenfla 08-26-2011 06:16 PM

I think I would use some stick cinnamon for the stick and it would emit a lovely fall fragrance (especially pleasant in the bath and kitchen). Thanks for this wonderful idea. You have my creative juices running and I'm thinking about Christmas...a snow man???

raksmum 08-26-2011 08:49 PM

That is so cute! I like the cinnamon stick idea too.

willadene 08-27-2011 04:43 AM

will probably do this for daughters classroom. second grade.

judi43 08-27-2011 05:17 AM

I also think the cinnamon stick would be good & store bought leaves for autumn that you get at the dollar store.
