Happy Fall!
The weather Sunday was unbelievable.
Sunny, warm and bright.
Perfect for taking pictures.
And rocking on the porch.
I decorated the bench on my front porch for fall.
Still need to “fine tune’ it.

I know I have another box labeled "Fall stuff"
in the basement but darn if I can find it.
Just wasn't in the mood yesterday to keep digging.
Here is my favorite Fall quilt.I made this quilt several years ago from
a large variety of 2 ½” strips.
Definitely scrappy.
Set in a rail fence layout
the applique is raw edge.
It was so quick and easy to do.
Ta da.....my Oak Leaf & Reel quilt.
Finished!
The corner squares are hour glass blocks.
The binding is the solid red fabric also used in the sashings.
Just love the colors!
It measures a large 85 x 85 inches.
It measures a large 85 x 85 inches. I embroidered two more snowman blocks while
waiting for Brenna to arrive.
Did I mention they named her after me?
Yep, my middle name is Christine.
And I was named after my grandmother.
I was so touched when my son came out to tell us
Mom and baby were doing great and what they named her.
Really, is there a better smell, in the whole wide world,
than the precious bundle of a newborn?
Your Oak Leaf and Reel quilt is just gorgeuos and so is the new addition to your family. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThey're both wonderful but I love the rail fence with the sunflowers. I keep thinking I'm going to start doing some raw edge applique on the longarm because I do love applique on scrap quilts but don't have the patience to do much of it either by hand or machine.
