October! October!
There is magic in the name.
A clear sky , A blue sky,
And sunsets all a flame ...
October! October!
The hills are all aglow
With red leaves, with gold leaves
That dance when the soft winds blow...
-D. Maitland Bushby
Good morning, Sunshine and Happy October!

On Friday, Kathleen Tracy of a Sentimental Quilter shared Step Two in the Autumn Leaves SAL Are you working on Autumn Leaves?
Lots of Halloween decor needs to be pulled out. I wish you were here to help me. I am sure I could rustle up some treats to eat as we worked and then when we finished, we could relax on the porch and enjoy some stitching. Doesn't that sound delightful?Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

October already! Doesn't seem possible, does it? Thank you for sharing your October embroidery - so cute! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem possible. Goodness how these year is flying by. Hope you had a very 1st day of the month, Donna. Hugs
DeleteI knew I was going to see pretty Autumn colors, and blocks, and embroideries here ;)) Lovely leaves, and these embroideries are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your happy place, and linking up!
Frederique, you are always so sweet and supportive. Thank you so much for brightening my day. Happy October . Have a beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteHappy October, Melisa! Lots of fall goodness in your post!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Robin. I hope you had a wonderful day. It is hard to believe it is October. Lol. Hugs.
DeleteOh how I love October! I’m going to copy down that poem in my catch-all book of thoughts, memories etc. And I will be embroidering your October doodle for sure. Thank you so much for another uplifting visit here with you.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that just a sweet poem,, Maureen? I hope you have had a lovely 1st day of October and I am so honored you will be embroidering my doodle. Thank you so much. Hugs.
DeleteHappy October to you! How about a scarecrow? Maybe a pilgrim? A cornucopia could prove difficult but would be a suggestion too. Whatever you decide will be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy October, Susie. I hope the 1st day of the month treated you well. Oooh those are great ideas. I have been on a scarecrow kick here lately. Thank you so much for the ideas and for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteMelisa, your post has so many pretties. I love your poems you share with us. Gotta get busy on that October doodle. Hope you have a beautiful stitchy day. 🧡🤗
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, dear Patti. I hope you enjoy the Pumpkin Patch Doodle. It was a fun one to work on. Happy October, sweet friend.
DeleteIt's always such a joy to visit you here! I look forward to every post, Melisa. I'm going to say it again, you're like the energizer bunny! You just keep on going and doing. Don't ever change, my friend.
ReplyDeleteAaah that means so much to me, dear Darlene. You always lift my spirits and bring a warm smile to my day. You are the best. Hope you had a wonderful day. Hugs.
DeleteYour SAL leaves are so pretty. Perfect fabric choices! October is my daughter's B'Day month so it is a special one to me. Love the monthly doodle! Hmm...yes, a November turkey sounds good. With a Quaker hat on his head, maybe? LOL Or maybe a cornucopia? So many possibilities. I would love to spend an afternoon arranging all of you pretties! I'd bring some hot spiced cider to sip.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, dear Ginny. The leaves were so fun to piece. Kathy's instructions are so easy to read and follow . Aaah a turkey with a cap would be so cute for November. Happy October, sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteHappy October!!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Betty and a very Happy October to you. I wish you a month of happiness and joy. Hugs.
DeleteCan you share the October word play pattern
ReplyDeleteIsn't the October Word Play adorable? But it is not my design. It is from Brenda Geravais of With Thy Needle and Thread . She has one for each month and they are all so cute. I do believe you can find them on her website- Country Stitches. Happy October, dear.
DeleteI love October, too, Melisa! Your October doodle is cute as can be, and the leaves are great. They are tempting me, but I'm trying to get some other things done first!
ReplyDeleteHappy October, Diann; it is a wonderful fun filled month. I am looking forward to all it has to offer. I am wishing you a very productive month. Hugs.
DeleteAll of your doodles are super cute. The October one takes the cake...or pumpkin :) I look forward to seeing all of your Halloween decor.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Jeanna. I can not wait to get this small quilt completed. It has been a lot of fun to create and share. Happy October.
DeleteMy pumpkins are out! We have thanksgiving next weekend. Enjoy your slow stitching. Gail at the Cozy Quilter
ReplyDeleteOh yah! I just love pumpkin season. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Happy October, Gail

ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Karen. I certainly am enjoying Kathleen's SAL . I look forward to seeing the finish quilt. Thank you for the sweet Monday visit. Hugs.
DeleteI love everything! Most especially your quilts. I have a special request to see a seasonal quilt parade whenever you display them. I’d love to see the whole quilt in all its glory! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Julie . I will have to do a seasonal quilt parade. That is a fabulous idea. I appreciate the sweet Monday visit and wish you a wonderful day. Hugs.
