This freebie from Kreinik was designed by Pamela Kellogg, who happens to be one of my favorite designers. She is very involved in doing crazy quilting now and that is not surprising when you look at this design – check out all the detail in the pumpkin! I love how the design incorporates cross-stitch and blackwork using Kreinik’s Vintage colors. The design has an antiqued look.
