Whether you’re making a quilt or decorative items Thimbleberries Quilting for Harvest: 20 Great Projects from Harvest to Halloween (Thimbleberries) for Thanksgiving with a harvest theme, there are many options available to you.  There are hangings, table runners and placemats, potholders, and quilts.

                                                 The Quilter's Home: Fall 

Items with a fall or autumn design often are incorporated into a Thanksgiving design. Also, the fall colors….orange, green, gold, bronze, wine, and brown…blend well with any Thanksgiving projects.

                                            Miss Rosie's Autumn Quilts (Leisure Arts #3565)

Why not make yourself a quilt in fall colors with leaves and harvest bounty?  Or a wall hanging, like my daughter does with leaves that give a three dimensional effect.

Decorate your Thanksgiving table with placemats or table runner in autumn colors with abstract designs or with a turkey in the midst.  If you have an interest in history, why not incorporate the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving into your project?

  2. Pleased you like these colors, Cyndi. Even though I can’t wear the warm, fall colors of pumpkin, bronze, flame, gold, pine green, etc. (the cool colors are my best), I do enjoy them for decorating and for arts and crafts.
    Thank you for visiting my blog.
