It's Fall!

Well, almost...just a week or so and then it's officially fall.  Fall is my favorite time of year.  I love the cool crisp weather and beautiful colors.  Very inspirational!

The cool weather also makes me want to sew more. I love getting together on fall retreats with my quilting friends and enjoying the friendship, laughing, eating and oh yeah, sewing too.  


Have you seen the 2018 American Patchwork & Quilting?  There is the cutest Halloween quilt for October called, Bewitched.

Not only is there a cute Halloween quilt, there is also a fun Christmas tree wall hanging made by yours truly! 


Good news!  Twinkling Stars in teal is back in stock on Craftsy.  Check it out here:

Hope the fall inspires you today!

Thanks for stopping by!
