I believe I will call this one Harvest Time. I have the top row completed. I hope to find more time today to take a few more stitches. I'm now contemplating the border and what it might look like.
Here we are smack in the middle of summer, and I'm thinking about Fall.....I endeavor to live in the moment, but one day I woke up thinking I needed to work on something for Fall. So I carefully put away what I was working on, cleaned up the mess from that and began creating another mess.......and so it is in my sewing room.
A close up of the sashing detail. I have been preparing some hand sewing to take with me for the car trip to Ohio. We hope to be leaving on Friday.....and the miles fly by when you have some hand work to do.
I do love hearing from you......your kind words keep me inspired, and assist in keeping my heart happy! :-)) Have a happy heart week.
"May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries,
May the breeze blow new strength into your being,
May you walk gently through the world and know its
beauty all the days of your life."

Thank you....I'm excited about the response.
DeleteBaskets and oak leaves on a quilt are one of my favourite combinations, I will be ordering this pattern when you have it finished. Your quilt is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe have about 35 Garry Oak trees in our backyard which we just love having there.
Thanks Glynis....I hope to start on the border today.
DeleteI really like the acorns and oak leaves in your sashing and the words you are choosing. In your field you do have to work ahead of the season or else be designing for the next year! You have a happy heart filled week as well.
ReplyDeleteI think the words in the basket are defining with the title of Harvest Time
DeleteThis looks like a wonderful beginning! I love Autumn and putting the encouraging words with it is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to every season, but I especially love Autumn.
DeleteWhat a lovely design Norma, I love working with Autumn colours and your choice of a neutral palate is lovely. It would also be fun to see it on some soft yellow and purple colours or some other fall palate.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sneak peek, enjoy your trip.
You are absolutely correct......it would. I just work from my stash! Thanks.
DeleteI love this new project ... right down to the star in the middle!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI so enjoy following your blog every day. You are part of my morning coffee ritual. I especially like the words of wisdom at the end of your post, always something to inspire me for the day. Enjoy your trip! Grandma Rita
ReplyDeleteThank you.....I'd like to think I might be inspiring someone. I aim to send good things out into the world.
DeleteJust love this design. I'm so glad you went with your thoughts to work on a fall project. I'll be looking for the pattern to come out. I enjoy your blog so much.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know that you enjoy my blog.....it keeps me at it!
