What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Well, here it is, Friday again, and only a little more than five weeks until Christmas!  But we're busy working on Thanksgiving here, and won't go into Christmas mode until next Friday.  But since it is Friday, that means that it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Let's go!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

As you know if you've been here for the past few weeks, I've been working on a fall quilt for my bedroom, and last week I was excited to announce that I had finished the top.  Well, I'm happy ...

It's Friday again, and we all know what that means - - - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!!  I hope you're ready - I know I am!  I sewed up a storm on Thursday just so I would be.  Let's go!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

As I said, Thursday I woke up determined to get my fall quilt top assembled in time for this post.  Wednesday afternoon I had laid out all of the blocks to get them in the right spots....

Here is the Stairway to Heaven...

If you catch an Autumn leaf as it falls to the ground, good things are in store! 

Jenny’s Design: Fall Festival I & II

According to British superstition, you’ll avoid head colds all winter long. Even better, each leaf caught brings a full month of luck in the year to come! (If you spot me chasing leaves in the park, don’t be alarmed! I need all the luck I can get!)

In this month’s Triple Play tutorial, the Doan gals are stitching up cozy Autumn quilts based on the Lovely Leaves quilt ...

Meet Jack!

Jack has quite the life....one moment in the pumpkin patch with his friends...then the next minute, hanging over the waters edge.

It’s September 30, the day we parade our completed Fat Quarter Flourish quilt tops! I hope you had a chance to join My Timeless Day and me for this fun project.

I sewed up an autumn version of Fat Quarter Flourish, featuring splendid fall fabrics by Lori Holt and Sandy Gervais (Riley Blake). My version is available as a kit from My Timeless Day.  Won't this make a lovely addition to my Thanksgiving table?

I had hoped to have mine all quilted and bound by the time September 30 rolled around, but life seemed to get in the ...

I'm SO excited to be making this quilt and hope to have a bunch of people go through the process with me!

This week Jenny is whipping up a variety of pumpkins using 2.5 inch strips of fabric. Click HERE to learn how to make a whole patch of these gorgeous gourds!
