Fall is Pumpkins. Even though I love the beautiful hues of the traditional oranges found in most pumpkins, I have always been drawn to to the uniqueness of white pumpkins.
A few years ago when I was enmeshed in the art of primitive rug hooking, I made
Pumpkin Vines
(size 28" X 63")
Pumpkin Vines is a design by Emma Lou Lais.
Emma Lou has been a leader in keeping the art of rug hooking alive in the United States. I had the privilege of taking several workshops from her when she came to a friends home here in Utah.
White pumpkins are also known as Albino pumpkins, Ghost pumpkins, Snowball, Casper, Lumina, Baby Boo, and Cotton Candy pumpkins.
White pumpkins have the same taste and flavor as orange pumpkins, and can be substituted in recipes.
And if you would like to make this wonderful pumpkin out of recycled white sweaters, there is a free tutorial over on Small Fry & Co.
