I Sewed! from From the Strawberry Patch...

Yes, I did it; I sat down at the sewing machine this weekend and actually sewed! This is the sum total of two days' work, not much in the grand scheme, but it's HUGE after these last two weeks of being sidelined! Yay!! These were already precut and labeled before my little trip onto the brick sidewalk, if they hadn't been I'm not sure I could've gotten this far. I'm unable to use the rotary

Halloween Ball Quilt 1

I’ve designed two fun quilts for the Halloween Ball collection by Henry Glass. The fabrics feature witches, bats, skeletons, and monsters, as well as a panel with a spooky, haunted house. The prints have all the must-have Halloween motifs we love, so you should stock them because you can sew lots of projects with them.

For Quilt 1 above, I chose the three things I like on my Halloween projects: witches, pumpkins ...

multiples . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

This past weekend was a loooooong, lovely weekend! I had a retreat with my Stitcher's Etc. group at Hinkle Hill Retreat House in Bell Buckle, TN scheduled for Thursday through Sunday. But since I knew I'd miss my boat day with Todd on Friday, I took an extra day (Wednesday), which we spent on the lake . . .

It was really a gorgeous day. Blue skies and popcorn clouds! We didn't get into any rain (you never know when a little storm cloud is going to pop up, because of the high heat and humidity), but we did see ...

sweet, sweet, sweet . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Lots of lovely little tidbits from the past week. First up, my daughter-in-love, has created a *sweet* home business called "Madelyn Mae's Bake Shop". She makes the loveliest, tastiest cookies! How do I know they're tasty, you may ask? Because she sent me some!

Tea cups, tea pots, and quilt squares! And in purples, no less! It was a fun snail mail package to receive! She's so talented!

And I know autumn is on its way, because I've started to feel the pull of all things pumpkin . . .

Picked up this sweet Benartex metallic pumpkin panel. I ...

celebrate on . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

I may have shared that I give as much time as my birthday wants to be celebrated. A week where you only work two days and have the next five free is as good a time to continue celebrating as any! I gave a whole post to the Tate Farms fun, but I'll condense the remainder of the long weekend here. Mostly. I think.

Thursday, the weather continued to be beautiful, and since a wet, cool front was moving in on Friday, our regular boat day, Todd and I decided to go ahead and get our lake action in ...

Pumpkins. I mean, right?! Doesn't everyone's mind work this way?! Haha! You know, I rarely buy wool kits because I enjoy picking my own wool for a project. When I found this darling pattern, I knew I'd definitely want to kit it from my own stash!

I had just the perfect combinations to work with! Does anyone else work out colors/fabrics this way? I do love the end game . . .

Of course it still needs to be blanket stitched down, but ...

Special-ordered sweatshirt from Quilt in Progress

My mother-in-law had two special sweatshirts ordered – Grandma’s pumpkin patch had the names of all her grandchildren. Granny’s pumpkin patch had the names of all her great-grandchildren.

After her death in 2019, my husband’s sisters wanted to know if I could think of anything to do with the sweatshirts. I’ve made pillow covers before out of t-shirts, but I wanted to do something different for these.

I decided to stitch around each name-with-pumpkin to make a small quilted ornament. I keep batting scraps in a tub in case they are useful for small projects, and it ...

Corn maze and pumpkin spice on a quilt! from Pieced Brain

Check out this magazine cover for Autumn: corn maze and pumpkin spice on a quilt! Make this easy quilt for your home or as a gift. And, read on for a giveaway!

Yes, that is my quilt on the cover of the September 2021 issue of American Quilter magazine. How awesome! I made “Corn Maze” using amazing batiks from Moda‘s Sunny Day collection. The fabrics have all the colors I most love and fun textures that add lots of depth to the design, making it really difficult to choose just a few for a project. Batiks are my most ...

New pattern: Buffalo Check Table Topper from Carried Away Quilting

Last year you all shared a lot of love for my new buffalo check patterns, which included two bed quilts (Buffalo Check Winter and Buffalo Check Autumn) and the Buffalo Check Christmas Runner.

Well, I aim to please, so I came up with a new pattern, my Buffalo Check Table Topper, which is really two patterns in one. Yes, this pattern will provide instructions to make either a Halloween or Christmas table topper for your home!

Baking Day and a Sample Sale from From My Carolina Home

It was a rainy day on Friday, and I decided to fill the house with the aroma of baking and cinnamon. Once I got started baking, it turned into a whole day with Christmas movies on the TV. I like to keep home baked treats in the freezer for My Sweet Babboo. He likes a slice of tea bread in the mornings with his coffee sometimes. I started the day out with the pumpkin I recently baked for this purpose. I had a total of three cups of pumpkin from the little pie pumpkin from my Autumn decorations. So, with ...

What's New? from From the Strawberry Patch...

I'm piecing pumpkins and couldn't decide which background color to go with; tan or black. I've been weighing my options and have gone back and forth, I really liked them both, I couldn't decide. The setting will be sashed with that same background color, the pumpkins will float over that background. Here's the setting and the pattern name and source; it's a simple block and a cute, seasonal,

Hello October, I'm so happy that you're here! It's *birthday* month and it's blog hop month, too! :)

I finished stitching up Mr. Jack O'Lantern!

He's such fun. But I felt he needed something a little more than a hoop or mug rug finish. I think I found (or rather, made) the perfect solution . . .

Yay! It's a slipcover for a Christmas pillow I've had for ages. I may go back and quilt the face of it later. Maybe. Right now, I'm liking is just as it is, where it is!

Hello, Autumn from Amy Made That

Hello, Friends!

It's been quite a while since I've posted.

Something happens every year,

that refreshes me and recharges my creativity...

it's called Autumn.

Here in Pennsylvania,

fall shows up for a day or two here and there,

before the leaves change

and summer goes away for a long long time.

It's perfect weather for a caramel latte

and some homemade pumpkin bread.

The colors of fall lift my spirits,

and they show up in flowers as well as on the trees.

My husband and I recently bought a Cricut Maker.

I hope to share lots ...

One more stitchery finished . . .

I was really pleased with this simple stitchery! I finished it out like I've done several in the recent past. I put it in a bamboo hoop, backed it with felt, and trimmed the rim out. I took this one to work to enjoy!

Speaking of enjoying things at work, my special order of chai tea, by Samovar, finally arrived! I enjoyed a nice cuppa Thursday afternoon, along with a shortbread cookie! ♥

SEC football season started up today ... hip, hip, hooray! Our church is having a Tailgate Party outside tomorrow after services.

Pin It Weekly #333 from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

Hello Weekly! Do you remember when I wrote last week that I really wanted to paint a mason jar? Well, I did. It's not so much fun, actually.

I painted a few in fall colors. Then distressed them. Then put a sealant on them. The paint still wants to scratch off. I had conned Rich into making some crates for them, so they are going in my little shop at Griffin's, but I don't know about this painted glass business.

Notice the crosses leaning on the jars? There are three. Rich made those because (I think) it ...
