Today is officially PUMPKIN DAY aka PUMPKINS FOR CATHEY DAY!!


It's Pumpkin Patch Cathey's blogaversary so today we will celebrate happy happy PUMPKIN DAY to send some smiles her way!

 This pumpkin here is one I stitched that is forever linked to Cathey. She graciously sent  me more matching green thread, a long time ago, to save my butt when I needed. It helped me avoid ripping out the 3/4's of green I had already done and having to restitch it in another dye lot. So thank you again for that, Cathey! I always think of you whenever I put this out for fall. :)

 Like her, I might have a thing for pumpkins too so I'm going to post some of my other pumpkins to celebrate this day. 

Who can resist these toothy guys, right?

 Obviously I can't because I come back to them again and again.

I hope you enjoy your special day that we put together for you on the sly, Cathey! We're all rooting for you and sending out good thoughts and prayers to help you. Now you have an army of pumpkin soldiers to help you too. 

If anyone wants to see more of the PUMPKIN DAY celebration, you can head on over to the comments on this post for the links.  (Thanks to Daffycat too for organizing this special day. :))

How sweet of Cathey to send you the green thread needed to finish your project. That doesn't surprise me at all--she has always been such a kind soul...

Your pumpkin collection is amazing, Melanie--especially the smalls. I love the one with the black kitty in the front--so cute!
