Fall Into Fall Quilters GIVEAWAY!!!!!

Bittersweet October.  The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter. 
                                                                ~Carol Bishop Hipps


It's the first day of October!  And it's time for the Fall Into Fall Quilters Giveaway!!  Are your ready?!?  Of course you are.  But first a quick update:  Mom is healing but is quite spacey on morphine.  Yesterday she said that my sister and I both had freckles - neither of us do.  Then she said she saw butterflies in her room.  Ah, the wonders of drugs.  Last night DS got a call that Mom was trying to pull out all of the tubes and IVs - I think she's had enough.  We will see what today brings.  Thank you all for your prayers and positive thoughts for Mom's quick recovery.

Photo Of The Day:

Orange spider gerbera in my front yard

The color orange:  Orange is vibrant. It's a combination of red and yellow so it shares some common attributes with those colors. It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow.  Orange brings up images of autumn leaves, pumpkins, and (in combination with Black) Halloween. It represents the changing seasons so in that sense it is a color on the edge, the color of change between the heat of summer and the cool of winter.  Because orange is also a citrus color, it can conjure up thoughts of vitamin C and good health.  Orange, a perfect color for the first day of October.

I did manage to complete 3 hexagon flowers for my GFG quilt while sitting in the hospital yesterday.

Final Thoughts

October turns our thoughts toward Halloween, followed quickly by Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Autumn is one of my favorite times of year as it means we will finally be heading into cooler weather, the leaves will be changing into their color splendor, the days will be shorter, and we will have a fleeting look at few different birds as they begin their migration south.  I would like to share a recent poem I found the sums up autumn rather nicely:
"October's Party"
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
                                                                                       ~George Cooper

Have a wonderful, warm, wise, and winning Wednesday!

Let's see, my favorite thing about Fall is when the leaves start turning. Living in the northeast, we have some of the best fall foliage and it makes driving to work a whole lot prettier!!

I read a lot of different types of blogs, everything from finance, quilting, scrapbooking, photgraphy, to just funny blogs about people's lives. I don't read every single post on all these blogs, but I like peering into people's lives, I like learning new things, and maybe finding a new way to look at the wrold. Blogs are like reality shows except they have a bit more reality to them.

Julie Earsom said...

I like to blog to share my thoughts (even if no one reads them) and to meet new people.. It's good therapy for stress.. :)

Miri said...

I love to see what everyone's been sewing...I love having my horizons broadened seeing fabrics that I would not pick. I live overseas-out in the boonies-and this is my connection to what is happening in the quilting world.

Julie Earsom said...

I like to see others ideas and make new friends. Seeing other projects gets me motivated and gets the creative "juices" flowing. :)

Deborah in Atlanta said...

My 33-year old daughter's favorite holiday is Halloween, and she's giving a hum-dinger of a party this year. We're preparing all those gross foods (eyeballs, brains, severed fingers - you get the picture) and we've stated decorating the stairway, the walls, the mantle - everything with gross decorations. (She isn't into the nice and pretty stuff, she likes the "gross" stuff). dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com

Deborah in Atlanta said...

I don't have a blog, but boy do I love to read them. I like quilting and DIY (do-it-yourself) blogs. When I see something "outside the box", I'm always baffled that there are folks in the world that have that "vision" that is required to do something so unique. And then, naturally I copy them. Cuz you know, they say the best form of flattery is imitation. dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com

Kyra said...

I read the blogs the most that talk a lot about quilting projects. I like to hear about people's family and such as well, but what I'm really looking for is new ideas, inspiration, tutorials, etc. Hope that helps!

Leah said...

I enjoy reading quilty related blogs to get inspiration, tips, and ideas. Quilt bloggers are all so wonderful with the sharing of information.

JuliaP said...

My fall favorite is the changing of the leaves. Growing up in MT, we really didn't experience fall colors. After moving to WV, I saw for the first time what is means to see the changing colors of a tree. What a great way to experience fall!!

There are sooo many things I love about Fall. Autumn is one of my best friends' names and what I want to name my first daughter. I love the colors, my car is even burnt orange! I love the smell of burning leaves, the crisp cool air, being able to wear a sweater and jeans and flip flops, so much! Basically everything, including spooky stories, bonfires, halloween candy, *sigh* yep, today start my favorite time of the year :)

Tiffany said...

For Halloween this year we will be having a combined costume/birthday part because my friend has a birthday on the 1st of Nov. We are celebrating that on Saturday... I am going to go as a spiderweb :) (black outfit covered in stretched out batting/polyfil and lots of fun little spider friends... cheap and easy to make!) Sunday, Halloween, we might go to my mom's to celebrate her bday which is on Nov. 3rd and she and I both love Halloween and Fall so much, it will be fun to celebrate together.

Tiffany said...

I love to be able to share my projects with the blogging community. I get so many great ideas from other bloggers, I really hope one day someone will say "wow, that makes so much sense, thanks for explaining!" or "wow, I want to make one of those!"... then I will know I have succeeded as a crafting blogger :)

Diane N said...

I love the leaves changing! I especially like the bright red and orange leaves.

Tiffany said...

Favorite thing about reading blogs... the pics! I love the process pics from people quilting... so fun to see all the steps and hear their stories and how they came up with the idea, fabric selection, etc. I am new to quilting so I look for tips on how to make things easier (binding& 9 patch tutorials have saved me!) as well as get inspired.

Diane N said...

I'm an occasional reader

Barb said...

I will be flying from Texas to Amerika Samoan on Halloween...so that is my plan.

Barb said...

Hope your mom recovers soon and returns home. There is no place like home.

Favorite memory, just getting alot of candy and sorting it afterwards and then hiding it so my mother didn't eat our candy bars while we were at school...

Barb said...

I love all the creativity out there, I enjoy reading about people and how they do things but I don't like really wordy blogs...time is short and sometimes in a hurry.

Linda said...

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the cooler weather, the changing colors of the leaves and trees, the noise the wind makes through the branches with no leaves and all the new Fall programs on TV...I know the last one just blew it, right?

Linda said...

I am now a follower and will be catching up on your blog soon. This is one benefit to having a giveaway, finding new friends...

Monica said...

I like blogging because it's like show and tell. I love sharing what I'm doing with others.

Linda said...

I will be participating in Trunk or Treat at my church. We all get together and decorate the trunks of our cars and sit on the church parking lot. All the kids and neighborhood kids come out and go through our halloween parade of cars. The church donates candy, we have hot dogs, kettle corn and we all dress up. It's a lot of fun. I also am making several halloween quilts this year and am having a fun time doing it...Trick or Treat!

Monica said...

I like reading other people's blogs for the same reason. It's like show and tell and I get to see what they're doing.

I have also learned alot through blogging and reading other blogs.

Kathy H said...

Our Halloween plans. SInce my children are too old for trick of treating, we usually watch Charlie Brown's The great Pumpkin and give out the Halloween candy. It is great to see what the costumes are and the children are so happy when you comment on their costumes.

Weatherbee ;) said...

What a great giveaway! My favorite thing about fall has to be all of the amazing fall colors. Leaves turning those wonderful shades of orange, red and brown. But I also love that it's getting chilly outside, I love sweatshirts, jeans and snuggling under blankets on the couch reading books, crocheting and drinking coffee, tea and hot chocolate at any time of the day! What's not to love? :)

Kathy H said...

I love to read blogs because I get a glimpse of someone else's area of the world. I am inspired to make the quilts that I have going when I see what other people are doing.

Weatherbee ;) said...

Halloween plans...still debating, I'm thinking about actually hosting our very first costume/Halloween party. Might be fun. Other plans include making a Minnie dress for my daughter's costume, and Micky for my son. She wants daddy and I to be Donald and Daisy...but I'm not sure about that one yet. :)

Weatherbee ;) said...

My favorite thing about writing a blog is sharing great ideas I've found and getting to share some of trials and mishaps around my house. It's an outlet. I'm really enjoying it.

There are so many things I enjoy about reading other people's blogs. I love seeing the projects that other people create, getting new craft ideas and seeing different ways to do things. It's also reassuring to read blogs from mothers like me who find it challenging to balance everything...it's nice to know I'm not alone. :)

Moneik said...

My favorite thing about writing a blog is it's similarity to keeping a journal. I can look back and see what I've created each month/year.

Thearica said...

My favorite thing about writing a blog is being able to share with other people who share the same likes as yourself.

Thearica said...

I thoroughly enjoy reading blogs because sometimes it is the link to the outside world for me. I live 650 miles from my family and I get really lonesome some days. I just grab a snack, sit down and come to blogland and wile away a couple of hours. I feel refreshed and ready to conquer the world afterwards!

Lee said...

Halloween - I make costumes for the nieces and nephews and hand out candy so their parents can go out with them!

I love blogging for the "release"

In 6 years of living in this location I've had less than 10 trick or treaters. But each year I dress up as a witch and sit outside with my cauldron burning and all the makings for s'mores. When no one shows - I have a grand ol' sugar high!

I love that the heat of summer is over and everything is turning warm vibrant colors. My favorite is to walk in fallen leaves and hear them crackle under my feet.

My Halloween plans are the same every year....excitedly wait for all those cute little trick or treaters to come a knocking at my door.

I enjoy keeping track of the quilts I have made, my progress on projects, and it also makes me want to start and finish more so that I can post them.

I read blogs to get inspiration for another quilt, or to see how my blogging friends are doing and what they have been working on. I really love to see quilts and the process quilters take finding just the right fabric, or pattern, or quilting design to make something so beautiful and functional at the same time.

My son's birthday is Oct. 30th, so we are usually still celebrating his birthday on Halloween.

My favorite ting about fall is the changing colors. My family heads up to Door County, WI every columbus Day weekend to camp with a bunch of our friends, hike in the woods and enjoy the beauty of fall!

Every Halloween our school has a costume parade. After school, I will be home passing out treats to all the kids!

I started my blog to track my progress on the mariner's compass quilt I was making for my DH. Kinda like in the movie Julie & Julia. I realized how much fun it is to share my goals, what I have accomplished, inspirations, etc. with the blogging world.

I read blogs to get inspiration, see pictures of others projects, learn new things and to meet other quilters.

I think my favorite thing about fall is the colours - Mother Nature gave us a real gift when she decided what colors to showcase during the best season of the year!

Thank you for a lovely giveaway!
