Hot Skwash Velvet Pumpkins

In 2002, Daria Knowles came across a gingham holiday pumpkin with a crude stem at a gift store.  She knew this could be transformed into something incredible with the right fabrics and colors.  After creating velvet pumpkins for several years, friends, family and clients encouraged Daria to grow her creative talents and start her own small business. Daria founded Hot Skwash, LLC, in 2008.

Her keen eye for color, texture, and shape gives each treasure its own personality.  She works with local farmers to harvest unwanted pumpkin and squash stems which she reuses as she handcrafts each velvet pumpkin.  Employing stay-at-home moms who share the same passion for the pumpkins helps connect Hot Skwash to its roots--combining creative passion with family.

Hot Skwash celebrate the harvest with rich contrasts, lucious color, and delicious variety.  Crown your dining table, sprinkle around your home, accent store displays, or gift these plump beauties.
