No Place Like Home...

Hello My dear friends...I'm so glad you stopped by!
Is your kitchen beginning to smell like hot apple cider, maple syrup and fruit pies fresh from the oven?. 
How I love this season of the year. It is truly my favorite. There's the sweet scent of Fall in the air. 

A Bowl Full of Autumn Wishes!

What a beautiful time of year the Fall is with it's rich warm hues of orange, red, green and gold.
I enjoy the long awaited cooler temperatures, nice breezes and vivid colors.

 

I had fun stitching up these sweet little quilted pillows to add a homespun touch.
 One of my very favorite quilt shops is "Little Quilts" in Marrietta, Georgia.  The patterns for these little pillows are found in their book "Little Quilts Around The House".
 I have visited their shop and fondly remember their warm and friendly staff.
 

Autumn in the Country


 
I designed and made this Fall "WELCOME"  quilted table runner.
Each year I look forward to displaying it on my antique Singer Treadle Sewing Machine cabinet.
I like using a wide variety of textures in my seasonal vignettes.
 
 
Isn't this a delightful Harvest Image?
It was a free graphic from
"Mom On Time Out"  blog.

Thank you for visiting my blog and my home.
I have enjoyed visiting your blogs so very much.
So many of you have shared your cozy homes, richly displayed with artful
Fall arrangements, handmade creations and delicious Autumn dishes.

I pray you have a bountiful week just brimming with God's richest blessings!

Carolynn xoxo

Your tablerunner is very lovely! It looks perfect with your sewing machine table. I enjoy quilting as well, I just need to make more time for it again.

Thanks for taking the time to come by and visit at Quirky Vistas, Carolynn. You make me realize I should be baking a pie or something. Well, it isn't exactly Fall here in South Florida, but maybe a pie would help me pretend. Either way, you can't go wrong with pie, right?
