by Mary Emma Allen on November 12th, 2006

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?
