"Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
fluttering from the autumn tree."
- Emily Bronte
We have been having the most beautiful autumn so far. The weather has been relatively nice with the leaves on the trees falling at a rapid rate.
I had a bundle of fall fabrics which have colours that I am not normally drawn to. I was surprised when I found these among my stash and I think I found the perfect project for them - Modern Maple quilt. I bought this bundle quite a while back from Connecting Threads.
I found the Modern Maple quilt here and used this tutorial for making the blocks from Nicole at Modern Handcraft Blog here. Not difficult but just nice to have some tips to help you accomplish your goal.
I hit upon an idea
awhile back to buy scrap bookers storage containers. You can see one of them with my finished leaves on the table. They were on sale
really cheap a couple of weeks ago at Michaels so bought a couple to separate and
keep straight all my in-progress projects together. They are the perfect size and hold a fair bit.
I'm sorry but I can't resist showing you some sunset pictures from the other evening.
The colours were amazing. This one was particularly beautiful with it's warm colours. It was almost like being wrapped up in a quilt.
The glow was amazing.
I'm not sure it can get any better. Possibly the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen.
Have a great week!
