Fabulous Fall

I Love the fall time of year.

We recently drove through Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

This picture was taken just outside of Marquette, Michigan.

Here at home the change has been a bit later than usual.

This is the view from my kitchen window.

I think I like watching colorful leaves float through the air as much as 

I like watching snowflakes fall from the winter sky.

I have some fall quilts to show you that I have made over the years.

This is a pattern called Hide 'n' Seek that can be found in this book.

The patterns in this book are made  by sewing different size strips together.
Then you cut the strip sets using this ruler.

The possibilities are endless.  It is so much fun to see what 
you can come up with.

I bought my book and the ruler from Around the Block Quilters Shop.   My good friend Christine owns this online shop.  Take a look at her website she is always adding new fabrics and kits.   

Lucky me I can just walk up my street and head to her basement!

I had more blocks than I needed for the lap quilt and made this table topper.

I wanted to have something that I could quilt using a new pantograph, Indian Summer, that you can see on my website here.

I think it looks great with my pumpkins.

When we moved into this home we purchased an inexpensive kitchen table and chairs.
Richard had the great idea to get a piece of glass cut to put on top of the table.
This allows me to display small seasonal table toppers under the glass.
I love this!
Right now we have a scarecrow quilt on display.
We have also put together puzzles and slid them under the glass.
 Family pics and notes find their way under the glass also.

Here's another table topper.

I had fun with the quilting on this.

And a wall hanging.

This last one I made several years ago, before I purchased Betsy,
my APQS Millennium long arm quilting machine.

So there you have it.
  My first real post.
  They won't all be this long and I'll have to admit it's easier than I thought.
It is definitely a work in progress that I look forward to sharing with you.

We are having a bit of a blustery fall day.
This made me think of a Winnie the Pooh movie my boys loved.
Pooh tells his friends to have a wonderful
Windsday.

I hope yours is great!
