“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.”
Henry David Thoreau


Introverts Unite! At home alone with our pumpkins!
As I was looking for a quote for this blog post, this quote by Henry David Thoreau really stood out to me. I tend to fall for the deeper more meaningful quotes rather than the “pumpkin spice and everything nice” types of quotes. This one struck a chord for me because I’m truly an introvert at heart. Being at home with my family and my craft is my favorite place to be!
And if one is to be sitting all alone on a pumpkin, why not make ALL THE PUMPKINS SHE CAN HANDLE?! Better yet…a velvet pumpkin! Well with the PUMPKIN PALOOZA BLOG HOP by Pineapple and Pine, we have got. you. covered! We’ve got textured pumpkins, mini pumpkins, fur pumpkins, and yes…even VELVET pumpkins!
What is Pumpkin Palooza?
Pumpkin Palooza is a pumpkin-themed blog hop hosted by Pineapple and Pine. If you’ve never heard of Pineapple and Pine, it is a maker community that was begun by Kelsie of Crafting for Weeks and me, Sarah of A Plush Pineapple.

There are no codes anywhere in the site. Maybe an error??? Sucks that I wasted a whole day refreshing the site, and ad content for the codes never to appear.
Hi Sascha,
I did add the code approximately 10:00 PM on 9/15. Perhaps, your browser cache needed to be cleared. Sorry you were not able to get it! I know that it was live and working because others were getting their downloads. Perhaps reach out to the designer, and she might be able to help you get the pattern that you missed.
Thanks for joining us!
Code “KnottyPunkinFun” for today’s pattern is not working! :o(
Hi Dana! The code was checked in advance and many have been able to download today. Perhaps check the spelling and try again! Thanks!
No code for today’s pattern?
Found it, but they have normally made it so you can copy and paste it. More difficult to remember exact spelling etc. Guess I could have wrote it down. LOL THX
Glad you found it!
I was not able to see or click on any pumpkins on 9/16. 9/17, 9/18, or 9/19. I figure there was a gliche somewhere.
Hi Maureen! It is possible that you may need to refresh your browser or clear your cache because the downloads were working on those days! Thanks for reaching out!
Is there no pattern for pumpkin palooza today?
Yes, the Knotty Fun Punkin’ was the pattern download today. The code is listed on the blog. I checked it all out and was able to download the pattern myself. 🙂
When I click on “Get the Pattern” for the Puffed up Pumpkin, it takes me to “This Is Not A Pumpkin”. How can I get the Puffed up Pumpkin before it expires??
I’m sorry you were having trouble getting the Puffed up Pumpkin. I know that the link was working because many others were able to download it. May I suggest reaching out to the designers to see if they can get you a copy? Thanks!
Hello, I am not seeing the code for today’s patter in the blog.
Hi Lori! The code has been posted since 10 PM 9/21. You may still be able to snag it! It will expire on 9/23.
I hope this doesn’t sound ungrateful since the patterns are free…..For future reference could you please tell us what time zone the code expires in. The one for the 21st and 22nd were expired at 9PM central time in the USA. The code for 9/23 is already available so I will get it now but was disappointed to miss out on 9/22. I didn’t seem to have a problem with this in 5he earlier portion of the pumpkin event.
Hi Jerrie! None of the codes have expired at 9 PM. They have all remained active a full 24 hours before and after the feature day to allow for time zones. At 9PM (ish), I have been adding the next day’s code, but I do not take the previous one down until the following day. Hope this helps!
Mine said the same thing for This is not a “This Is Not A Pumpkin”. and it was around 9 pm . Tried 3 times .
Hi Karen! Sounds like you may need to try refreshing your browser or clearing your cache. I know the downloads are successful because many others have been able to get it. Hope this helps!
Thank you for this. It is so fun. Loving the varied patterns. I made my first ones last fall. They are a quick and simple project but so satisfying and they are good as decorations through November. Gave away so many. They make great hostess gifts and many friends got them as Thanksgiving gifts. Thanks again. Having such fun.
Hi Sara! Thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad that you are enjoying the blog hop and have been able to make so many pumpkins. How fun is that?! Thanks again!
For todays pattern This is not a Pumpkin said it was expired. I tried 3 times. The second
Hi Karen! The This Is not a Pumpkin pattern was actually the featured pattern on 9/22. Sorry you missed it! Perhaps try reaching out to the designer, and she might be able to help you!
Love these patterns. I am a pumpkin nut….like many others. LOL Was this the last pattern or will there be more?
Thank you!
Debi
Hi Debi! We did not have a featured pattern this weekend, but there will be four more this week until the 30th! Glad you have enjoyed it! So have we!
Thanks for the pumpkin party. Last two codes didn’t work for me, but the patterns are still available on the blog, so it’s all good. Waiting for todays’!
Hello! I was a little slow updating the post to say that the last two had expired. One expired Thurs and one on Fri, but we have one week left of freebies until the 30th, so there are still more to be had!
What is today’s code? I’ve tried PumpkinPatch, but it didn’t work. I’m not sure I’m looking in the right place.
Sorry!!! I mistakenly went to Etsy instead of Ravelry. The coupon code has worked now.
Glad that you got it figured out!
Thank you so much for the Pumpkin Palooza and all your hard work! I loved all the patterns and enjoyed collecting the patterns.
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it! Thank you for your kind words!
