Fall Vignette's Inside and Out!



'"Punkie" is greeting you with a smile as you enter! 

So is "Stella" our witch.
We had fun gathering  pumpkins and gourds for display.
 
Made this "Happy and Bad Jack's" quilt from a pattern featured  in a Fons & Porter magazine a few years ago.


"Scary" our scarecrow sits on our lower patio and greets everyone on the bike path---
------ so does "Chester!"
 
This is where I create and work on projects...I have been organizing---- 
----and tidiing up a bit
----where I sew!
Meet "Dee", my friend of 45+ years, who moved to North Carolina in 2011. She designs quilt and needlepoint patterns. Previous to her move she was magazine editor of 
 *makeability, Fons & Porter and  Love of  Knitting. In 2006 she wrote the quilt book
Applique at Play...Learn more about DeElda  by visiting her blog and website!
 
 Trees and bushes are starting to show their fall colors and---
 
----our front porch has been a delight! 

That's all for now----- 
"My eyes will be looking out for all the beggar's!"
 
Hug's, Carolyn

    The witch with the green face and long skinny legs is a very prim one. I like it a lot. Did you make her?

    It is unbelievable Carolyn, but the book Appliqué at Play is at this moment on my table!!!! Yesterday I was reading it to learn something. How can it be!!!
    I love the chair in your sewing room. You have made the cover yourself? Everything looks so nice if you live there already a long time. Love from me.

Fanny likes decorating for fall ...she has her little pumpkin pale and ready for beggars night!      Made this quilt a few years ago. One of my favorites!  "Bad and Happy Jack's" a Fon's and Porter design. Some are happy and some are bad🤐 Love the candy corn fabric. He is a happy camper!! He is not happy..where is my candy corn! Tee hee 🐱maybe the cat ate it!! Another must is Mr. Scarecrow. I was in a swap and "Montana Weber" was my partner. We made and exchanged three pumpkins for each other. These are the ones I received from her yesterday...look who has them now!!  She should receive hers Monday. A wagon full of pumpkins.   Miss Witchie saying.... "Boo & Scare"! Always fun to display the c.c. stitch pillow hanger. A "Lizzie High" design.   Made some Salsa a few weeks ago ..still displayed on the counter. 😊 Below are the Hummingbirds trying to fatten up before going South on there long journey.   Have a great month!  Stay safe. ...

Thinking about all of you during these trying time and hope all is good with you and your family. Found this statement with a special message for all of us giving up "Hope". Thought I would share with you as to what I have been doing while being home with Gene and keeping busy! Made this shoulder bag to hold my cell, necessary information, and my mask fits around the strap,---  "handy"! Made a new small patchwork bed quilt for "Miss Hitty"!    We have 6 grandchildren. Three boys and three girls. Three grandaughters have graduated from ISU . One grandson is sophomore at ISU and other grandson is attending UNI . I have made graduation quilts for all six. Our youngest grandson, Joe graduated from high school this spring and is now attending ISU in Ames, Iowa.  Had fun finding plaids and ISU prints for incorporating into the design of this quilt...a few of these plaid came from grandpas shirts....this is "our" secret,  okay!!  Joe (3) licking the bea...

planning my next projects... Digging into my lace box, so much fun! I layered some lace trims together getting ready to make a zipper pouch. This pouch inspired me and was pictured on Rag Bag Gals Group (on Face Book).    Then, I saw these two bunnies...more fun ideas! Started this table topper before Christmas ---as you see, didn't get it finished. I plan to finish up and it will be ready to use next year!  Christmas treasures of 53 years ready to be packed up. Here we are--- Mrs and Mr Clause. Santa is saying "Bye, Bye  and Happy New Year Dear Friends." Sharing with each other our sewing,quilting projects and fun craft ideas is always so inspirational! Thank you. Hug's, Carolyn
