October is one of the Transitional Months. It’s not all hot like July and August but it’s not all cold like January and February. Last week we had days in the high 80°’s almost 90°. But forecast is calling for nights this week in the low 40°’s. Some mornings we need a jacket but by lunchtime we want to be in short sleeves.

Fall in the Yard

Several trees in our neighborhood have begun showing signs of changing into their fall colors. But one of the first signs of fall in our neighborhood is the blooming of the Pompas Grass.

Fall in the House

Inside the house it’s beginning to look like Fall. I don’t do a lot of decorating but I do bring out some quilts I’ve made.

The first to come out is my fall quilt. This is the first quilt I made for our bed. I made Fall themed pillowcases to match. The pattern is Autumn Celebration by Carole Carter. You can buy this pattern from her by clicking here.

My chair is ready for the cooler evenings. The pattern is Skip to My Lou by Donna Robertson at Fabric Cafe. I made this 2 years ago.

And of course my Pumpkins!

Hope you are making progress on whatever you are stitching this week!

Happy Stitching!
