The first signs that cooler weather is on its way for me is when my fall clematis begins to show its buds and bloom. This one grew very well in the HOT climate we had this summer. The rest of my potted plants died off and I let this one take over. Now I am so glad I did as it has been a wonderful screen to help hide the neighbors and now, the blooms are so pretty. They loved this bit of rain on the day of the photo shoot!
And now the sun is shining so I thought I'd show one of my old quilts that I still enjoy. It's a fall quilt that i like to put on my table as a topper. This was made from the book Square Dance by Martha Thompson, way back in the early 90's. She now has a revised edition called Square Dance, Fancy Quilts from Plain Squares.
Here it is all spread out!
My small group at the time had a Sewing Saturday and we each made these together. Everyone's turned out differently. I wish I had pics to share. We all brought a dish to share for lunch and it's such a fun memory.
I have no plain wooden table in this home, so I think I'll drape it over a chair this fall.
Happy Fall Ya'll !!
