October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
~George Cooper
Here they come! First one down.....hundreds to go!
I finished my Cozy Cabin quilt just in time for Autumn. My favourite season. Machine pieced and quilted. I kept it simple and stitched in the ditch. A cup of hot chocolate and my Cozy Cabin quilt, kept me warm, as I worked on my hand quilting.
I've been Tagged!
Yes, I've been "tagged" by Dawni, from Itching for Stitching. Once tagged, I am to share 7 random and/or weird facts about myself, then I am to tag 7 random people and include links to their blogs. Then, I am to e-mail the 7 people I tagged and let them know they have been tagged.
Okay, seven facts about me............- My favourite colour is green.
- Best time of the day is Tea Time, when I work on my Applique.
- I dream of visiting Ireland one day.
- My comfort foods are: carrot soup, chai tea, rice pudding and bread pudding.
- I collect Teddy Bears, Tea Pots and fabric!
- Would love to learn the Quick Step. ( a ballroom dance)
- What makes me happy: quilting, gardening and books.
Well, just one more butterfly to applique, then I can piece together my Butterfly Garden quilt. It seems like I have been working on them forever, but I have only been stitching them during afternoon tea and Saturday evenings.
My Dresden Plate quilt is coming along nicely. So far, I have hand quilted three of the nine blocks. I work on this one as I watch Dancing with the Stars and Amazing Race. It's looking good and I stopped bending the needles! My Baby Ralphie (mini Dresden) has not been touched since I pieced together the first Dresden. I hope to get the rest pieced this week, so they are ready to applique, when I finish my last butterfly.

Love the quilt! Very Fall! I also love tea time, but I guess I will share that with you through my tag. Love your new header.
lovely mini quilt and beautiful autumn colors on your blog today.
Love your Cozy Cabin quilt, beautiful fall colors. I really love the fall, too. And your pumpkin is so sweet. (I think we have the exact same model - and it's a darling. Thank you also for stopping by.
Karen, thanks for coming by. I snagged that kitty on the right. I used to have that in my favorites but I didn't know you could get a widget for it.
Happy Fall and Halloween. This is my favorite time of year.
