Quaker Pumpkin Edging

 Do you remember the Quaker Pumpkin pattern from last year?  I also made an edging for this pattern.  There is a slight change in the pumpkin at the top to make the edging.  I make the pumpkins first and then the vine and stem.

As always we are working together on these free patterns so any mistakes that you find please let me know.  While I have test tatted the pattern it doesn't mean its perfect.  Cheers!

  3. Beautiful!!! Thanks for the pattern. I'm thinking by changing the colour the pumpkin can become a tomato or gourd etc.
