Thank you so much for all these lovely patterns, they bring such joy, even just looking at them.
I also want to make the hot bowl holders. I have order the batting to make them, but with the 3′ of snow and travel ban, we won’t be getting any mail. I haven’t made any fall items. But I will be making more of the Christmas mug rugs. I also started River Scraps using 2 1/2″ squares I accumulated. I’m also working on a quilt for our guild I belong to.
So I didn’t get all of these done last year so came back – after all I have 10 days! LOL
Where did the time go! Got the Turkey last year now moving on to the pumpkin.
Thanks!
Connie – Thank you for you kindness and thoughtfulness in sharing such wonderful Fall treasures. These will surely keep us busy . . .
Thanks again!
We sure are looking forward to cooler Fall temps and beautiful colored leaves . . .
Thank you for all of the Fall projects you pulled together for your readers. There are so many I want to make that Fall will have to last longer than three months! Have a safe and happy Fall.
OMG, so many free patterns, Love them all, don’t know where to start. Thank U so much.
Oh Connie – such a joy to view your beautiful Fall and Thanksgiving extravaganza of patchwork items.
We don’t have Thanksgiving in Australia, but your designs show unique ways to brighten the home at any time of year.
Connie, once again your great posts have made my day! Thank you for your good taste, keen eye, and sense of fun! Keep up the great work…we need you!
I’ve been looking for a pattern to make for my wonderful new neighbor. I love her maple tree and think I will make a table runner for her with the pattern you showed.
Thank you for providing so many new ideas for me to work from.
Loved these ideas and I’ve downloaded a few! Thanks!
These are all so cute I have the hiccups from gasping “Oh isn’t this cute and this and this…” I want to make every one! I can see the turkey from Wee Folk Art as a signature quilt where all the guests sign in! Turkey Mug rugs – a must have as well. I can have the kids help with the cards SO CUTE!!!!!
We had a huge wind storm blow through and we lost a Maple tree. It was only 8 years old about 15 foot tall but still snapped in the middle.
Hope the move is not too stressful, one box at a time.
