My attention was captured by the vintage Valentines. When I was small an elderly neighbor had an album of vintage Valentines. I loved going through it with her. Looking for ward to seeing what you create for the occasion!
This small quilt is a Kathleen Tracy design "Crosses Morning" from one of her books titled "Prairie Children and Their Quilts".

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. ...
Thanksgiving Day brings to mind the blessings in our lives that usually go unnoticed; a home that surrounds us with comfort and protection; delicious food, for pleasure in both eating and sharing; clothes and quilts to snuggle up in, books and good entertainment to expand our minds; and freedom to worship. Most of all we are thankful for our family and friends, those treasured people who make our lives extra special. You are a part of that cherished group. On Thanksgiving, and every day. I do appreciate you! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Hugs, Carolyn
