Summer Into Autumn

September 30, 2012

It seems the days are flying by. I have been sitching up a storm and have a new favorite to show you, but I thought I would share what I’ve been doing the last week or so. I have been taking advantage of the beauty in my backyard at every opportunity. The leaves here have been changing and it looks like out mountains are on fire. Not a scary smoky fire, but a gorgeous phoenix on the mountain.

How can I stay inside when it looks like this outside?

My little girl is two. Which brings a few lot of challenges. But it also means that she is enjoying all of these things for the ‘first’ time. And we are having a BLAST showing her the season and what it means to us.

A sweet blog reader pointed me to this recipe (Thanks, Marla!) so there has been quite a lot of pumpkin bread in this house.

And this gorgeous stack showed up at my house the other day and I can’t stop staring at it. I am so excited to have it in my hot little hands.

So, I am going to finish my little dictionary print giveaway and announce that they will be going off to live with Beulah πŸ™‚
dictionaryprintwinner

And start a new little giveaway. I’m just going to leave it open for a week (so until next Sunday, October 7th). If you can guess which fabric line I am about to sew with (up above) then you will win a fat eighth bundle when it is released and I have it in my fabric shop. It is my favorite upcoming range for this season and I am having trouble deciding which idea to use it for. So, that’s it. Tell me what it is, and maybe what you’d make if you had some, and a little bundle may come live with you πŸ™‚

See you tomorrow with a pattern review of this gorgeous quilt:

    wow – you certainly live in a beautiful place! Suburban London just doesn’t quite match up! I have no idea what the fabric is, but I love the colours!

  2. Lara says

    Oh your Autumn pics are lovely πŸ™‚ it’s spring here and I am loving the blossoms. Is it Lucky Penny By Alison Glass? Love the stack whatever it is πŸ™‚ you are so generous! X

  3. Ïvana says

    October 1, 2012 at 4:32 am

    My guess is Lucky Penny too, and wow! it looks amazing, thank you for the chance to win!!!

    So glad you liked the pumpkin bread. It looks gooooood, No idea on the fabric. Happy cutting!

    October 1, 2012 at 7:14 am

    I think I see Pearl Bracelets hiding in there, so I’m going to guess Lizzy House.

  6. Natalie says

    October 1, 2012 at 8:32 am

    Gorgeous photos! That fabric looks like Lucky Penny by Alison Glass– I am looking forward to getting my hands on some of that when it comes out!

  7. Jen says

    October 1, 2012 at 8:51 am

    Alison Glass – Lucky Penny. Looks like it’d make a great blanket for going to football games and sitting around bonfires. πŸ˜‰ Maybe backed in flannel?

  8. Chelsea @ pinsandbobbins says

    October 1, 2012 at 8:52 am

    The changing trees are gorgeous! I keep thinking I need to plant something that changes colour in my garden since I live surrounded by evergreens and really miss the fall colour.

    I was stumped by the bundle at first since it looked like it had Lizzy House pearl bracelets. A trip to Andover’s site, though, and I realized it’s not her work but another Andover designer, Alison Glass with Lucky Penny. I think her pearl prints will become as essential as Lizzy’s.

  9. Lauren aka Giddy99 says

    October 1, 2012 at 9:08 am

    Lucky Penny! I just saw this line this morning on another blog, and I am DROOLING over it.

  23. Erica says

    October 1, 2012 at 11:19 pm

  30. mary says

    October 2, 2012 at 12:50 am

    That would be the gorgeous Lucky Penny by Alison Glass, I’ve been wanting to make the Amy Butler floor pillow/ottomans, but haven’t found a fabric that could hold its own – I’m thinking this could be the one! Excuse me, must run off and practice the “please let me win, please let me win”, dance. . .maybe my two year old will help? πŸ˜‰

  97. Lisa says

    October 5, 2012 at 2:01 pm

    Should be Lucky Penny πŸ™‚

    I’m just about beginning to get a good look at all the fanstastic quilting fabrics. I jused to make just clothes and in Germany there aren’t such things as jelly rolls, fat quarter bundles etc.. (or at least not much of them). But I started my first quilt recently, with a milion mistakes and there will be a lot of undoing seams .. but still. Such lovely colour combinations..

  98. Ramona says

    October 6, 2012 at 2:29 pm

    I’m going to have to say Lucky Penny as well. I couldn’t tell that the line has as much blue as shown in this photo, but it’s still the closest of the new lines I’m seeing. I do love the colors of your fabric stack!

  99. Beth says

    October 6, 2012 at 6:20 pm

    Well, I’ll guess Lucky Penny along with the rest of the commenters.

  100. Kristy says

    October 6, 2012 at 11:48 pm

  101. Rori Jensen says

    October 7, 2012 at 7:36 am

    Well, it looks like Lucky Penny is it! Such pretty colors and it would be gorgeous for a table topper or runner. Thanks for the opportunity to win and eventually purchase some.

    October 7, 2012 at 10:49 am

  103. Janna says

    October 7, 2012 at 1:25 pm
