It's time to change the quilts! 🍂🍂🍂
It's one of my favorite things today as the seasons change.
First, I need to say good bye to the Bees and Sunflowers Quilt Display.
Bye Bye Bees! Time to Buzz! 🐝🐝
And here comes the crows!
CAW! CAW!
First, I decorated my peg shelf on the door with a little white pumpkin quilt. I appliqued it about 20 years ago. The little sign is from the Dollar Tree.
In my small foyer are three vintage thrifted house shutters that I love to decorate with quilts. I simply drape them over the shutters and Wahlah! A simple display.
I layered "quilt upon quilts" for this year's fall quilt display.
On the first shutter is "Four and Twenty Blackbird" which was also displayed in the bee display. There are 24 crows on this quilt. Some are applied but some are quilted.
Crows and Gourds is displayed on the 2nd shutter. It is another older appliqued quilt. I used lots of clothing in this piece including shorts from my college days, pants from my daughter and a shirt from Mr. Pinker. Many fond memories are stitched in this colorful quilt.
The crows and gourds are all tucked into a plaid fabric appliqued bowl.
🍂🍂🍂
Front and center on the 3rd shutter is "The Fall Scarecrow" which was a free doodle that I found at Prim Mart in 2020. I embroidered it on a scrap of fabric from an old sheet . Some of the border fabric is from an old shirt. Waste not want not. Right?
If you would like to see how I color tint my embroidered quilts with crayons and colored pencils, just check out my post entitled Color Tinting Embroidery Designs.
The little Pumpkins sign was painted years ago from leftover woods craps from Mr. Pinker's workshop
Behind the "Fall Scarecrow" is a quilt that I pieced in 2020 called "Snowball Autumn".
I am so sorry for the poor lighting in this photo. It doesn't do the quilt justice.
I fell in love with the white fabric as soon as I saw it. The next year my sweet sis gifted me a pumpkin she bought at a yard sale made of the same fabric. Bless her sweet heart. I miss her so! ❤

The darling orange basket was a gift from dear Shelly years ago. I adore it. Thank you , Shelly. ❤😘
Homestead was a little appliqued quilt that I pieced years and years ago. It was a fun use of scraps.
That's the first round of the fall quilts on display!
These quilts may be changed out before the end of the season; I am always tweaking displays.
Do you do that?
Oh before you go, let me show you my seasonal tree all dressed up in crows and sunflowers. I promise you there is a tree in there. Hee! Hee! I like my trees full.
Anywhooo... it is tucked into an old enamelware bucket and surrounded by an old pitcher, a jar of mini pumpkins and a big fat painted fabric pumpkin and scarecrow.
So tell me have you already started "Decking the halls" for FALL?
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
