Fall Seasonal Sewing

The days have been filled with so much of this wonderful seasonal colour!

        This is the view in the lane, at the end of driveway,  as you leave and reach the road.

And this is the view as you drive up that lane way...I just love coming home!

 There's so much woodland that I don'r know if we'll ever get it cleaned out....

 Each season has its own beauty & this Fall season is exceptional with all the warm colours.

                                                The colours brighten even the dullest days!

There's a lot of dead trees standing like totem poles with blank expression, adding contrast to the living trees, with their colours of red, gold, & orange.
 

 It was raining when I took these photos, I wanted to document the colour within the woods.

                      Each tree had its own harmony of colour, singing Falls song of the season.

 The contrast of green on the red made me think of the days ahead...

Just love!! the look of the berries against the dead tree.

 It has the same feeling I get with driftwood that's been washed onto the sandy shore.

 I  do think this look would give a festive appearance to a urn decor. Mmmmmmm

Not letting go of Fall....

 Now doesn't she just make you laugh out loud?!!

 It all started out with this doll I had made years ago & never finished...she's still not finished as I've never added hair to her. She sat with the beginning of what was to be a Christmas outfit that got as far as a pair of bloomers! When I get an idea I just go with it, she needed a Halloween outfit & it began with this dress.

 Then I still didn't know what to do for hair...the idea of this 'Cat Mask' came to me when I looked on my design wall at the photocopy of the cat quilt I wanted to do last year.

 This is a Dollarstore bracelet that worked beautifully for her belt!

                                  And yes, finally coordinating bloomers to finish her outfit!!



Keeping with the Fall sewing I finally made the Fall Memories by Laundry Basket, all in batiks.
It's all 'edge stitched' a technique that I'd never done before, the pumpkin was buttonhole stitched as was the brown stem.

It really warms the kitchen with colour.

I now have to buckle down & start my Christmas sewing. I like making gifts for my family & friends for Christmas and with 64 sleeps till Christmas...each day will count as I sew my way to the start of the next season.

Fall Memories, what a nice way to view beautiful colour. 

The night is going down to -5C.

The air is filled with the smell of wood burning as the evenings are cool & fireplaces & wood stoves are filled & blazing out heat, to cozy the homes.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit. I hope you have the time to enjoy Mother Nature as she sings her colourful Fall song.
