October! Hooray!! It's finally October! My favorite month by far!! You, too?
I spent all morning putting away my Back to School stuff, and putting out my Halloween decor!
It's like seeing old friends, each time I pull out favorite things from Halloweens long also...when my boys were little and October was so magical and fun!
Hocus Pocus, The Halloween Tree, The Worst Witch and The Great Pumpkin have all been on the player in my sewing room for days now!!
This October will be extra special, as our first grandchild will be born any day!! This little man will be born in the same month as his Daddy, my younger son Anthony! So very many reasons for October to stay a most beloved month!!
Our local quilt guild had a summer challenge where we were given a page from one of those A Block A Day calendars. We could make whatever we wanted using that block. One option was to make the block in red, white and blue colors to be made into Quilts of Honor for our Veterans, so this was that block!
I also made four other blocks in fall fabrics, fussy cutting the centers, which I made into a table runner for my dear sister, Sally, who lives nearby.
She loves toile and I found a cool fall toile to use for the background and backing!!!
It was super fun to make! Love using all those greys and blues for our little man on his way!!
Yogi wants to know if you are excited about October, too!?!
I just love, Love, LOVE October!!!! It is my favorite month of the year, also. I love the color change of the trees, the smell of fireplaces and the yumminess of my first hot cocoa of the season as I sip it from a favorite mug...cold hands wrapped around its warmth!
ReplyDeleteGreat decorations Polly! October is fun and colorful! I am actually going to enjoy fall this year since I have moved from Florida and will actually see the leaves change color and enjoy cooler weather than Florida. I do love that zebra quilt...he is so cute as is Yogi!
ReplyDeleteI love October, too. Your decorations are lovely and the zebra quilt is so sweet. Enjoy your evening!
ReplyDeleteYou were really busy and as always I love what you've made!
ReplyDeleteOctober is not my most favorite month because it's getting colder and darker and at the end of the month the clock will be adjust from summertime to wintertime ... I totally hate it when it's getting darker even earlier. So sorry, Yogi, I like September a bit better and summer is the best:-)
Meeting Kaffe and Brandon and attending a lecture must be WONDERFUL!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, we really don't have fall in Florida. It does start to cool down - today was 90 I think - but the beautiful colors are completely absent. I still enjoy the season as the humidity is down too. Your kitchen is beautifully decorated!
Oct. is a great month--my DH and only DGD were born in this month (MAN, I miss my DH!!). Love all your adorable decorations (think I have the kit for the cute pumpkin table runner) and that zebra quilt--Oh GOSH, how CUTE!!!

ReplyDeleteI would love to see a Real Fall... It's always nice to see the trees changing colours and the falling leaves you have at your place...we don't have that in Australia..

ReplyDeleteOh Cute. Yogi is so adorable.
