My fall quilt for today - Falling Leaves from my Trendy Table 1 book (see link in profile). I want to point out the machine quilting on this one - see how I added four feather designs and then filled in the background with cross hatching? It’s perfect for anyone that has being doing straight line quilting on their domestic machine, but wants to start learning to add some free-motion designs. It’s less daunting than thinking that the whole thing has to be free motion! #fallingleavesquilt #trendytable #ankastreasures #freemotionquilting #fmq #freemotionquiltingonadomestic #fallquilts #falltablerunners #essexlinen #shotcottons #quilts #quiltersofinstagramIt’s the last week for fall decorations and I’m getting in the mood to get the Christmas stuff out - but in the meantime, here’s a close up of the fall wall hanging from my Joyful Stitcher book. #fallwoolquilt #woolapplique. #fallquilts #joyfulstitcher #ankastreasures #quilts #quiltersofinstagram #falldecor #falldecoratingI love taking my boys to Barnes and Noble. Besides loving to go because I love to read and it was the place Joel and I always met at when we were dating, I just love how excited my boys get when we are there. I just want to laugh and cry at the same time - especially taking Carter there. He runs from book to book, so excited about everything he has read and everything he wants to read that you can hear him through the entire kids section. I learned that he’s read so many more books than I even realized, with library time at school. He told the Dr yesterday that he wakes up between 5:30 and 6 every morning so he can read ahead in the chapter books that we are reading together. After an hour of deliberation, he settled on a 3” thick Student Dictionary 😂😂😂. Did I mention that he’s in 1st grade? As Joel says, we are raising a total nerd, and I love him for it ❤️. #barnesandnoble #welovereading #ilovenerds #lovetheseboysIt’s a mess, but we are making progress! I decided that it was worth painting around the argyle instead of painting over it. Even after 7 years, I still like it and think it adds a unique touch to this room. I’m still painting the room blue, but toning it down so it matches the new quilt better. #boysroom #boysroomdecor #diy #makeover #argyle #fortheloveofargyleThrowback Thursday - To when my babies were 2 and 4. Where has the time gone??? So fun to remember!Calendar
