Fall Quilts & Quilted Pillows

Fall decorating, started inside with a table runner, pillows and a couple of quilts.  Then I decided I wanted to make a new fall quilt too.

 Linking up with Beverly for Pink Saturday:  http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/

New fall quilt idea, starts with scouring the books for a pattern...short on time, so a simple patchwork is the answer and I found it here:

 Decided on the Rattan Squares pattern to showcase some really pretty warm toned fabrics. 

Roman glass, the red looking fabric here will be the sashing with the smaller square in between with the orange background and then the binding in the multi mirage striped looking fabric.

 

An assortment of Kaffe Fassett fabrics will be the larger squares in oranges, yellows, brown multi-fall looking tones.

So here a photo of the large squares, sashing with small blocks and the binding.  I hope to have the entire top pieced by next Saturday, so stop on by and see the progress.  Have a great weekend! 
Happy Pink Saturday, Michelle

A beautiful fall day at the park, I only had a few minutes to snap some pics, but how can you go wrong with such scenery.

I find great comfort in these words, my friends {especially after listening to current world new events}. Praise God, for his loving kindness.  Blessings to you and be a blessing, Michelle

Texture Tuesday-Dream

DREAM---Linking up with Kim today for Texture Tuesdays.  The theme Kim asked us to use today is "dream".    I used the texture "kristen" on both of the photos.   Hope to get back into the swing of posting, moved two weeks ago and still unpacking.

I picked this fall photo of the slide because it reminded me of when I was a child and all the dreams you dream when you don't think about all the reasons why they can't or won't happen when you start the negative thinking that we sometimes are prone to.    I used luminosity on the Kristen texture.

I chose this photo of the last flower arrangement I made for the season, two dreams in one.  Dremaing of a cut flower business in my future and also the scripture is inspired by John's dream recorded in the book of Revelation.  Thank you for stopping by today, wishing you a week of blessings.  Michelle

Linking up with Courtney-Feather your nest

Fall, a wonderful season to sew!  I have five different fabrics I've used to make some quilted pillows up, they take a 16" pillow form .  I love to change my decor for each season, pillow decorating is one of them.

There are so many fantastic fabrics to choose from, it's hard to limit myself, anyone else have that problem.

Hugs, Michelle
