Good morning, Sweet Peas and Happy Saturday.

| Isn't she a pretty gal? |
I was telling Mr Pinker the other day, that I had not been out to the farm to see Rodster and the gals in quite a spell. I missed the crew. Soon we jumped in the old farm truck and chugged on out to the farm.

I was delighted to see some beautiful morning glories trailing up the fence post and along the barbed wire fence. 
Lovely pink and white blooms.
I will gather seed from these when the pods dry and plant them next spring in the holler where right now I have only blue ones in bloom.

There's Edna! "Won't you come see us, Sweetie? "Nope she is ignoring us. LOL. Ole' Edna- you never know what mood she is going to be in. Hee! Hee! Ginger looks awful relaxed though.
That afternoon I was able to finish the "Little Prim Punkin" yarn punch that I started a week or so ago using the thrifted wool yarns I bought over the summer. I may attach it to a basket or wooden box later.
Fall Checklist is in the works!
First, I dyed my white cotton fabric with a tea/ coffee mixture. I then cut my fabrics .
Here are the cutting measurements:
Tea dyed fabric: 8 1/2" x 10 1/2"
Brown borders: Cut 2 - 2 1/2" x 10 1/2"
Cut 2- 2 1/2" x 12 1/2"
I sewed the 2 1/2" x 10 1/2" strips to the bottom and top of the tea dyed fabric. I then sewed the 2 1/2" x 12 1/2" borders to the sides. Wallah! I was ready to trace the design.
❤ My little doodles are hand drawn and are never perfect.❤
It was not long before needle and thread were weaving a magical fall pumpkin and a sassy crow. I will continue working on "Fall Checklist" this weekend.
Last year I created the Spring Checklist and then the Summer Checklist. They were simple prim embroideries with a simple border around each.

I added a running stitch in DMC 898 1/4" away from border edge in the stitchery block.
Summer Checklist ( for doodle) Finishing Instructions for Summer Doodle ( for measurements and finishing instructions. )
That is what is happening in my neck of the woods. What are you up to this weekend?
Have a beautiful day and ...
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
