It seems that most everyone loves the fall season and the beautiful colors of the leaves. Our trees have been really vibrant this year and I thought I would share what I see all day when I look out the window of my sewing room...
The picture really doesn't do justice to the true colors, but you get the idea.
I finally finished stitching the last block from the summer BOW from Primitive Gatherings and will share a picture of it next time. I received the finishing kit and it did not disappoint - the wools are wonderful and the flannel for the setting triangles and border are a much deeper, richer red than what the pictures online look like. I have the six setting squares prepped and ready to stitch. They are simple hearts with stars, so they shouldn't take long (famous last words, right?).
I've sold a lot of
Poor Lil' Punky kits...
Pumpkin pendants have been flying off the shelf as well. Now I really need to go shopping for some more orange fabrics!
I've been really busy with "Charming" - you remember these are the charms from the first month. I am almost finished piecing the second installment of charms, but the pattern is a secret, so I can't show them here just yet. We still have to do the glass work on all of them, so we will be busy for awhile!
And, I'm still not caught up with my Non-Farmer's Wife blocks (shocking, I know!). Only 3 behind at this point - so I can handle that. That's what I've been up to - are you all keeping busy?
Now it's off to the dreaded treadmill!
With that view I don't think I would ever leave my sewing room!
ReplyDeleteUm, I think you must be taking super enzymes or something - that's the only way ou can possibly get so much done!
ReplyDeleteVery busy ;-) Love your view.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to quilt study today.
Love your little charms - so sweet!
Gorgeous view, Julie. I wish my mountain view included water like that!
ReplyDeleteHave you had to make up more Lil' Punky kits?
I can't wait to get the next charm. Of course it isn't really "mine" until Christmas, but I still can't wait to see it!
Oh, good luck on the orange fabric. I wish there was more of it to be had in my neck of the woods.
Love fall... and love that view from your sewing room! You have been a very busy girl and getting a lot done! Love those pumpkins! As for those non-FW blocks... you'll be caught up in no time!
ReplyDeleteI'm not shocked that you haven't gotten caught up on your FW blocks - you have a lot going on making all those wonderful things.
ReplyDeleteOur trees were beautiful here this year too, but I think that our color is just about over. Hard to tell - it really hasn't been sunny for a few days - too much rain.
I love the reflection in your pond - twice the color! We had that normal bluegray fall sky this morning but the sun was still low to the horizon and peaking out to highlight some trees in the distance. The difference from the leaves and sky was amazing. TGIF!
ReplyDeleteMy treadmill is the sidewalk, Julie and I just got off ;>) Your colors are amazing and they must inspire you each and every day! I'm so happy Poor Little Punky is flying off the shelf! Waiting with baited breath to see your last block!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Beautiful view, Julie! How fortunate you are to get to enjoy that from your sewing room. And wow, it looks like you've been busy with all the charms! Don't know how you get anything else done with all those to do!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness......all those charms!!! You are one busy stitcher! I loved the picture of the trees. Just beautiful! Keeping busy here. Always more projects than I have time to do. In fact.......thinking of starting a new one......picked up my copy of the Farmer's Wife blocks and thought I might have to add another project to the "to do" list. LOL! Never bored!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is darling!! But those charms?!? WOW!!!! :)
