I had a wonderful weekend of some quilt shop visiting, creative time to myself, and early nights to bed with a good book.  My kind of weekend!  Here are some pictures of the makings…

Baby booties #2!  My little boy is going to be well stocked for booties.  Actually they are a good size knitting project that isn’t too intimidating for me…maybe next I’ll move on to mittens.  One new bootie down, second one started.  (Pattern is a free one from Susan B. Anderson.)

I’ve had this little wool mitten kit in my stash for a couple years so I whipped it up.  A good fall hand project.  Not sure what I’ll do with it yet…Christmas gift topper…ornament…door hanger…

(Oh yes Christmas is approaching for all of you that make homemade gifts.  I should maybe start thinking in that direction.)

I was inspired by all the stitcheries I saw in the quilt shops so I bought some dyed muslin and made my own little pattern up.  I drew a picture, transferred it on the fabric, and now I’m using black embroidery floss on all my lines.  I am going to fill the center area with all the fall words that I love like apple cider, campfires, falling leaves…

Hope you had a great weekend.

This is a wool project that I completed a couple weeks ago.  It was so much fun to do and turned out absolutely darling.  I used a product called lite fusible web to stick the wool shapes onto the wool background, and then I just hand stitched around the pieces.  It went very fast!  It was a great project for sitting in front of the boob-tube or just having a quiet moment.  If I had it my way I would have been stitching this in a cabin in the woods in front of a roaring fire.  Someday…

Have I told you lately that I love fall??!!!  Enjoy the season!
