Last of the Quilt Show

I hope you have enjoyed the quilts from the Sandhills Quilters show. Here are two Hop To It quilts. There were actually three in the show but I deleted one accidently. This first one is hand quilted.

  And speaking of Hop To It quilts, I picked mine up from the long arm quilter. I have not really felt like working on the binding so it is still sitting in my sewing room. Maybe next week. But I will be sure to show it to you and tell you quilted it for me.



 All those little squares are actually painted onto the fabric.
Laura, a new blogger I introduced you to a couple weeks ago has a small quilt of mine. She has just done a tutorial on pin basting a quilt. Check it out and see which quilt of mine she has. If you follow my blog you will recognize it. I will be happy to have this one finished.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Autumn Delight

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus
Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly above the earth seeking the successive autumns. George Eliot


The one red leaf, the last of its clan,
That dances as often as dance it can,
Hanging so light, and hanging so high,
On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Autumn Delight is my block for this hop. Again I  made a block from the Quiltmakers 100 Blocks Magazine, volume 5. This block was designed by Terri Degenkolb. I used the main designs and changed the flower to a leaf made from wool.

 This is where you will find my Autumn Delight block. In a wooden bowl my husband made for me.
I am so glad you stopped by my blog. Now on to the giveaway. I have a half yard of pumpkin fabric from my stash which has been washed already. I will also be giving the winner some fall colored DMC floss which you could use on your fall project. I am also passing along the pillow pattern that I won from Heather.  So all you have to do to enter the giveaway is tell me your favorite recipe you like to fix during Autumn. I have a recipe for an Apple cake that I make a couple times during the fall. It is so yummy. I will reveal the winner on October 10.
Be sure to visit the rest of the blogs for today.
