Fall Days

There are too many fun things to do and not enough minutes to go around. Just needed to get that out there. Thank you for your patience.

For many years I’ve made lists. Shopping lists, to-do lists, a packing list, Christmas list, a list of the stuff that I forgot to write on another list. Even my lists have lists. Sometimes I mark stuff off and sometimes I just throw an old list away. Usually they help me and other times they are a testament to what didn’t get done. What I have not done is made a list of all the things I get finished. Even if things get marked off, I can usually think of two things to replace it. As we come up to the time of year when the lists get even longer, I’ve decided that I need a list of what I finished. Just a date and what it was, like a quilt block, a blog, a book, a chore. I think it might be uplifting to see a list of what I did in addition to the list of what is still undone. I’ll let you know how it goes.

It’s the time of fall when the mornings are foggy and the afternoons warmish and sunny.

While I’m not a big fan of dark and dreary days, there’s something quiet and mysterious about fog.

I have two “volunteer” tomato plants that are just now making tomatoes. I’m not sure how great the ripe tomato will be but the green ones will be fabulous fried. It certainly adds some color to a faded garden.

Because I went to the International Quilt Show in Houston last year, I didn’t go crazy for Halloween. This year I’m attempting to make up for it.

This tree is about finished for the year, but the leaves that are left are the most beautiful colors.

And here are a couple of our quilted Halloween favorites:

The quilt above is called Fall into Halloween. It goes together pretty quickly and is big and snuggly. The two dark stripes are pieced but two pieces of cool dark fabric would make very fast and easy.

Harry’s Halloween was a fun way to whittle down my Halloween scraps. Okay, it hardly made a dent. I have enough Halloween fabric to wrap up the whole state.

Quilt for fun.
