A Stroll Down Autumn Quilt Trail

Autumn quilts all around! 

Happy happy Saturday, Sweet Peas.  Welcome! 

How are you doing on this fine sunny day? 

Would you like to join me as I hop down memory lane looking at old Autumn themed quilts ? I would be as pleased as punch if you would. 

Soon "Fall themed" quilts will be fluttering into every nook and cranny .  

One of the first pieces I usually bring out is my Rail Fence quilt. Well, it is actually not a quilt, because I have not quilted it yet , but that is not going to stop me from using it. It is light weight enough for me to hang  on the quilt shelf just above the buffet. 

The Autumn Rail Fence was pieced about 10 years ago maybe longer. It is made up of lots and lots of 3 " finished rail fence blocks.  Do you recognize any of those fabrics in your stash? 

Way  back in 2021 , I pulled out some  strings and began piecing away in my willy nilly style which often leads to a lot of wonkiness. 

A wonky gal has got to have a wonky quilt doesn't she? 😄😁😜

To wrangle in the scrappiness , I added borders and then appliqued a big ole' pumpkin and a cooky crow. Soon I had  a quilt I called  Autumn Quilt 1817.  It is made up of some of Mr. Pinker's old shirts as well. Lots of sweet memories in this one. 

Soon after creating my Crow Creek Saltbox  in  2020 which by the way was my 1st saltbox, I decided to embroider some motifs to go along with it. 

Crow Creek Mini Quilt  soon followed. I shared those little designs in 2020 as well. 

Meet my Great Grandparents. ❤🤗There is Great Grandma Annie whom I never met, but have heard many fond stories about, and my dear Great Grandpa C.E. whom I called "Rancher" because yes, he was a farmer . If you haven't already figured it out, we like to give nicknames to family members. Hee! Hee. Do you do that? 

Anywhoo.... Years ago, my Nanny gave me one of her mom's quilts. It was bright bold and beautiful! And just my colors!

Great Grandma Annie's Quilt 

I can only imagine the many hours it took for Great Grandma Annie to make this beautiful string quilt. Perhaps she was sitting in her rocker by the fireplace in "The Big House" as it was called hand piecing away.  The house was called The Big House not because it was big , but the family was "big" - lots of youngin's running amuck. 

The quilt is made of feedbacks and was lovingly handquilted.  

Well Sweeties, I will continue my stroll down Autumn Quilt Trail in a future post where I will share more "fall quilts from the vault". 

Thank you for joining me and I hope you will drop by tomorrow for some slow stitching time! Have a beautiful day! 

 As always,

Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
