SPLENDOR IN THE LEAVES

SPLENDOR IN THE LEAVES

Fall is my favourite season!  The colours, the cool crisp air and the beauty are so refreshing after a hot summer.  

Autumn Leaves

Leaves in the autumn came tumbling down,

Scarlet and yellow, russet and brown,

Leaves in the garden were swept in a heap,

Trees were undressing, ready for sleep.

The first block I choose called out for leafy fabric.  It was a 12 ½ Maple Leaf block from - http://www.quilterscache.com/M/MapleLeafBlock.html

Four blocks together make a leafy square.

Sashing and a leafy border stitch into a delightful table topper.

A paper- pieced Fall leaves table topper.

The maple leaf block stitched in a smaller 6 1/2 

 inch block still speaks of Autumn.

Leaves combined with a scarecrow become a warm welcome into my home.

Playing Hide "n" Seek in The Pumpkin Patch becomes a favorite Autumn adventure!

   

These two blocks come from the Glorious Autumn Block party hosted by 
The Quilting Gallery

 And a special thank you to Liz and Louise, my own personal computer tech people, who if you are seeing this post rescued me.

Now is the time to head over to visit other leafy creations or as often happens when all the leaves are raked into a pile to dive in feet first as the neighborhood kids do.
