New projects to welcome Autumn and Winter


"'Tis the Season" from The Pattern Basket is ready to welcome Winter!  The pattern is $10.00.  I used 2 Jelly Rolls from the new Moda line "Merry and Bright" for the trees and stars.  It also requires 4 yards for the background and borders and 3/4 yard for the binding.  I used the diaganol red and white candy cane stripe from the fabric line for the binding.  It is 56 1/2" by 57 1/2".  Nikki Crisp (360-319-2914) quilted it with an edge to edge swirling snowflake pattern for $75.00.  The background is actually white with snowdots, even though it looks cream in this photo. 
 I love the fresh crisp colors!

...and this new Autumn wool project comes from Wooden Spool Designs.  The $9.00 pattern, "Happy Halloween" comes with 9 wool applique blocks, but I wanted to use this fun frame ($24.95) so I picked 6 of the blocks. 
 I really love how it turned out!

I hope you are enjoying the changing of the Season.  It has been so beautiful here.  Last night there was a double rainbow in the sky.  My granddaughters and I had spent time reading the story of Noah and the Ark and made 3D construction paper rainbows with cotton ball clouds and then out came the double rainbow!  A good reminder that even though it has been a difficult 20 months for many people, there is still so much to hope for in the future!  And beauty to surprise us when we aren't expecting it.
