I’ve been looking at the quilts I’m making recently and they ALL have beautiful fall colors, but can you blame me? Beauty is all around me as I write. I do LOVE fall. It is my favorite season.
Since moving to the mountains the changing of the leaves is nothing less than spectacular.
This is a picture from my studio window.
There is a river nearby, so sometimes we are treated to the fog gently lifting over the mountains in the mornings.
The river causes the fog to rise.
Our home is surrounded by dogwood trees. The dogwood berries ripened last week and the birds have been at them for a week. Not many remain except the berries that fell on the deck.

The flame bushes are starting to turn scarlet. They are a treat to the eyes against the green leaves.

Makes me think of Christmas and the projects that are piling up around me. I’ve been working on a small table runner with Christmas colors. As soon as I get the borders on it, I’ll post it.
Happy Fall! Go and crunch some leaves today if you are lucky to have some drop around you!
Who doesn’t like to crunch through leaves?
