I usually put white pumpkins etc. in the dining room, but it looks like it has taken a different route this year. But, I will find a place for my white pumpkins. Still contemplating. I just love to sit back and enjoy it after it is done. I wonder why a person's house is so inviting during the autumn season. Martha Stewart Crafts was on QVC this morning, there was some really cute stuff. 
I made the wool pillow last year. It was a pattern from "All Through the Night", Dance of the Autumn Leaves. I love working with wool and applique. The quilt is the very first quilt I made. It was from a book by "Timbleberries". I really enjoyed making all the different blocks. The bench is really old. It use to sit in my Great Aunt Evelyn's summer kitchen. It was white. I painted it a mushroom color from Martha Stewart and put it in my dining room. The hat boxes under the bench store some of my china.
I finished this quilt last year but never put the binding on it. I am just about done working on the binding. I am using a green to match the leaves. This pattern came from a book by "Thimbleberries". I admired this pattern for years, so I finally put my mind to making it. I just love it. Anything with pumpkins and leaves pulls at my heartstrings. I have this quilt in my sunroom. 
I made this pumpkin angel a few of years ago, her pattern was in one of the crafty magazines. Her eyes are made of a black snap and her nose is satin stitch embroidered. She was fun to make and I have enjoyed putting her out in the fall. Sometimes I put her on a shelf or have her hanging over the kitchen cupboards. This year I decided to put her in the sunroom to watch over the pumpkins. I found the black metal house at a fair one year and I pretty much leave that up all year, setting it in different places throughout the house. And I love using the battery candles.
I finally finished this pumpkin quilt for my Niece. I started it last fall and finally took it out again and finished it this morning. I finished the binding before I left for work. I think binding is one of my favorite parts of the quilt process. I used a pattern from "Thimbleberries". I taught myself to quilt using her books and patterns. They are so easy and always turn out so nice. I am looking at this quilt and thinking how cute it would be in my house, but I made it for a special gal, so I want her to enjoy it. I know she will really appreciate it. She saves my homemade cards and uses them for decoration. So I know she will really like this quilt. I am so excited to give it to her. Love this time of year. I am going to start getting out my pumpkins and fall colors for the house. I am a little slow this year.
I went to the neatest home party show called "Uppercase Living" . You can buy almost any word or saying you like. I painted 3 squares of auqa paint on my wall and then I put the words on top and framed them all. It turned out kind of cute. Peace, Love and Faith. I just measured and used blue painting tape to frame out the part I wanted to paint. I bought a sample of paint at my local hardware store for $3.00. It was cheap and easy. I had the frames left over from some pictures I know longer use.
