A Touch of Fall

In between doing some fall house cleaning,
I was able to complete this little wall hanging.
I have some company coming and have been
trying to clean and get my home decorated
for fall and wanted this to go in the bathroom.

It turned out a bit smaller than I had planned, but
was trying to use up some of the two inch strips left
from my leaf quilt.

My sister gave me this darling birdcage for my
birthday.  Decided to add a fall wreath to the base
and put it in my guest room with a little candy
dish filled with goodies.

Thinking that if I had company coming to stay more
often, maybe I would pressure myself to get more
done.  Anyway, it's beginning to look a lot like fall
at my house!

Just In Time

Fall officially begins Monday and I'm so happy that I have
completed my Scattered Leaves Quilt just in the nick of time.
It looks fabulous on my bed and I'm hoping to make a
simple fall pillow to add in the next few days.  But, if I
don't make it, it will be ok because I have several other
projects that need to be completed.  Perhaps I'll just
wrap some left-over fabric around a pillow form, tie it
with a bow and call it good.

This is the back of the quilt using fabric pieces from my
stash.

According to the magazine, "American Patchwork &
Quilting," I probably started this in 2009.

The quilt was machine quilted using a oak leaf
pattern.  I love oak leaves! (and acorns)  They remind
me of when I was a little girl and would go tromping
in the mountains with my family.

I especially like the the border and the red stop border
and binding.














 Fall also means "apple season time" to me.  Several
years ago I made this little apple hanging and was
so excited to add this stitchery from Michelle in
her "Country at Heart" patterns.

I have been able to stitch a few of these for friends,
also.

Made this simple little table runner for my daughter
to add to her fall collection.  The pattern is from
"Pieced Tree" and is called "Building Blocks."
The mini charms are from Moda's Mill Book
Series, circa 1852.

Now I just need to do the binding on my Halloween
Houses quilt and Halloween Hat table runner and
completed my "Boo" pillow and fall stitchery from
Bird Brain Designs.

Today I hope to sew the binding on the above items
and then can sit and do the hand sewing in the
evening.

Sure feels good to get some of these projects completed!
