If I were to ask what you love most about autumn, what would you say? Crunchy leaves? Football games? Warm drinks? (Maybe all of the above?)
Yeah, all of that sounds pretty nice...and that's why autumn is definitely my season of choice! 🍂
Kimberbell's Falling for Autumn quilt is warm and whimsical, with each block paying tribute to a different fall favorite. This fabulous quilt can be made in 5x7 (or larger) embroidery machine hoops and finishes at a 40 x 40" size just perfect for that blank space on your wall.
You know, that wall where you hang quilts such as One Sweet Spring, We Whisk You a Merry Christmas, and Red, White, & Bloom? This fall quilt is that same size. 😀
Let's take a look at some of the reasons why autumn is (definitely) "my favorite color!"
Pumpkin Patch
Our pretty pumpkin patch features pumpkins of Velveteen and Flexi Foam, each topped with decorative stems and vines. (I love how these pumpkins come in a variety of warm colors!)
Cozy Sweaters
Our cozy sweaters are made with cable knit fabric for authentic texture. You won't believe how touchably soft these are...they feel like a real sweater I'd love to snuggle into!
Star Blocks
Our step-by-step instructions teach you how to piece this beautiful star block. (Nothing says "homey" more than traditional quilt blocks like these, am I right?)
Applique Sentiment
Say "Autumn is my favorite color" with cheerful applique letters. (Double-hooping instructions for 5x7 hoops are included!)
Snug Houses
Applique houses feature Vinyl windows and fall decor. Wreaths and other details are included in the Falling for Autumn Embellishment Kit (also available from your favorite quilt shop)!
Pieced Pumpkins
Two darling pumpkins are pieced right in-the-hoop. Use the plaid felt from the embellishment kit for extra-warm texture. (Also notice that darling background quilting!) 😍
Warm Snuggles
I can't think of a better way to spend a lovely fall day than nestling into a Velveteen chair with a plushy throw. (Our throw even has a row of poms!)
Crisp Apples
I just love our “wooden” cork bushel filled with crisp apples. Notice how shiny the apples are, topped with Kimberbell Fusible Vinyl!
Hay Rides
Our vintage truck is ready for the hay ride! We created the dimensional hay with our easy fabric strip applique technique. (Notice the fluffy fringed edges!)
Songbird
Our sweet songbird has a wing of soft Velveteen. (He's enjoying a few lazy autumn moments before heading south for the winter!)
Crunchy Leaves
Crunchy leaves are my favorite thing about fall, and ours are resplendent with vibrant colors, decorative stitching, shimmery Mylar, and smooth Embroidery Leather!
Fall Sports & Bushy-Tailed Squirrels
There's nothing like being in a stadium on a perfect fall day, and our applique pennant shows lots of team spirit! Below, bushy-tailed squirrels hold chunky wool acorns.
Warm Drinks
Stitched steam wafts from our delightful decorative mug. (Need a good recipe? Check out my Cup of Cheer Wassail or Gourmet Hot Cocoa! They're just the thing on a chilly fall night.)
Scented Candles
Three scented candles feature unique fall scents in "glass" Vinyl jars. Add the scratch and sniff stickers and labels from the embellishment kit OR omit the scents and stitch the labels. (We include instructions for both!)
Good Books
Do you love a good book as much as I do? Stitch a whole shelf of applique books and add green and black Embroidery Leather for special editions.
Optional Background Quilting
Because background quilting is optional, it's always a separate purchase. But wow, what a difference it makes! Our curated Falling for Autumn bundle includes pumpkins, apples, autumn leaves, sweaters, and more...
Here's just one example. Look at these darling pumpkins and swirls!
You can purchase and download the Falling for Autumn background quilting bundle HERE (coming soon)! 😊
Bonus Designs
As with our other feature quilts, Falling for Autumn also comes with bonus projects! (I'm pretty sure you'll "fall" in love with these, too.)
Felt Wreath
Look at this gorgeous Felt Wreath. You'll create your leaves from Embroidery Felt with our raw-edge technique, hoop your fabric, then attach the leaves. There are six leaves in each color!
Pumpkin To My Pie Tea Towel
This darling applique design features a poof of Flexi Foam for fun dimension. Stitch your design on a tea towel and deliver to a friend with a fresh loaf of pumpkin bread!
Falling for Autumn Applique
Applique letters and beautiful leaves are perfect fall decor, especially when stitched on our warm and welcoming Oat Linen Pillow Cover Blank!
A Seasonal Celebration
So, are you excited to make this? Just think of all you can do with the quilt itself and all of those beautiful blocks (so many ways to use each one!) PLUS three bonus projects.
Now that's what I call a seasonal celebration!
