A Machine Applique Finish

Piecing the Past Quilts- Stitchers  had a block of the month a bit ago that I was gung ho to participate in.  I wanted to try the turn under with glue method and then small zig zag the pieces down.  After 5 blocks I just ran out of time so decided to piece with some blank squares and use some of the other blocks as machine quilting designs.  I machine quilted a feather of some type in each block and just scribbled around the other pieces.  It's all ready to hang in my room when I change to my blue/white theme.    And I've been getting back into cross stitching and here are some pieces I've finished stitching.  Haven't done the finish work on them yet.  Explain more later.  I think I will start working on these Prairie Schooler ornaments from now on.  These pumpkins were part of a set from Just Cross Stitch Magazine (an old one). This was also from Just Cross Stitch Magazine.  It's a Hands On design...
