Fall is coming!!!

Fall is just around the corner it seems.  We have had such a terrible summer here in the Great White North.  The last few days have been feeling more like fall than it should be allowed to feel....

So with that inspiration I have pulled out my Fall Harvest panel that I had started last year and decided it was time to finish it.  It is beautiful and with some beading embellishments it will make a gorgeous wall hanging.  I know my cats would love to lay on the sofa with it but being dark with lots of black in it, I am not going to give them the chance!!!!

I am just bordering the panel in a couple of matching borders but it is really looking stunning already.  I hope to quilt around the fruits and flowers and echo some to make them really pop.  Then with some seed beads sewn on a few areas, it will look amazing.

Here are a couple of shots of it to give you an idea.

I was debating on which colour for the next border....can you guess which one I chose?  It's going to be a surprise.  I can't give it all away yet.....lol!

This will be my weekend project.  I hope to get the top sewn together and maybe even sandwiched.  I will be using wool batting for this one because the loft of the wool holds it's puffy appearance forever.  It's not something I am going to wash too often either so the wool will be the best choice I think.

The backing is going to be black too just in case I decide to lay it out as a lap quilt for special occasions.  You know those cats!!!

Right now I am giving my wrist a rest.  It's been getting pretty sore lately and I had better take it easy on the poor thing for a few days.

Off I go to pick through my messy stash to see what other goodies I can think up for the next one.....Christmas is coming soon...runners and pot holder, stockings and place mats, maybe even a tree skirt or two.....

Blessings and have a fabulous night!!!
