This year I am kicking off fall crafting season by making that cute rosette flower pillow you have in your store and I might also use rosettes to make a fall wreath for my door as well!

Right now I'm going through my 2011 photos in preparation for Scrap Camp at the end of October...5 days of scrapbooking & Girl Time! My favorite Fall event ;) Thanks for the giveaway and congrats on your 500th post!

That is like a line for me to start my fall things...whether it is crafts; which I have a number on the go; or getting my garden in for winter..or wood in...you know; the grind.....lol. I will start with cleaning the sewing room..haha!!!!
Just been to Quilt Fest in Provo and now looking forward to finishing my Halloween Quilt (started last year). Love Material Girls and Fall !
I like getting out my decorations that I haven't seen in a year. I always forget what I have.
I'm a follower too, and congrats on 500! I just finished a full fall clean-out and now have all my fat quarters in display boxes, supplies clipped up for easy access, and my waiting to-dos lined up on the cutting board. YAY! Excited to get started.
I am not doing much this year as I'm October is chock full of plans that will take up a lot of my time. I am planning to cut a bunch of hexies and try to sew those up during my busyness.
I'm all ready one of your followers, and I read,read,read like I'm doing now. I like to see what everyone is up to.
Bought a new quilt pattern today and I am ready to get started.
And congrats on your #500!!
Congrats on 500 - what can I say but wow. Always enjoy your store, keep it up. I am busy sewing a couple of Buggy Barn Halloween quilts and then I am moving on to Christmas quilts for gift giving.
500. Awesome!
For fall crafting season... I'm just making a bunch of stuff for The Sewing Summit. And then Christmas presents. Oh, and I have to figure out a costume for my daughter for Halloween.
Usually, I just start in on the Christmas presents.
I have been a follower for some time now. My quilting style doesn't change when fall arrives, I just keep on doing what I was doing before. Even though I will do more quilting during fall and winter, and more piecing in the springtime and summer. Waaaaayyy too HOT and HUMID to do much quilting of the quilts during summertime!!!
HAPPILY FOLLOWING YOU!
CONGRATS! ON 500+ !
I like to make something with apples,pumpkins or something to do with harvesting this time of year.
THANKS SO FOR SHARING!

I'm kicking off fall by making a new wall hanging in all the warm colors of Fall!!!
I'm a f♥ll♥wer!
Fall officially starts when I attend the annual wine-making & bottling party at my friend's house. The party was yesterday--we broke 90 cases of grapes and prepared them for next year's get together and then started to fill over 800 bottles of wine that has been fermenting for the past year! It's an amazing day for friends and family to laugh and drink together, officially starting off the fall season!
Now starts the sewing for Christmas Gifts. I am making several little things for kids and a few big quilts for my 2 boys that are BYU fans. BYU quilts coming their way!!!
I am excited about getting started early this year in hopes of a calm December. ha ha

Happy 500th! I kick off the fall with decorating first; that really gets me wanting to be in the craft room starting on Christmas projects. I'm finishing up a table runner for my sister's birthday; I want to make myself a purse...seems I make so many things for other people and I have so little of my own handcrafted things...maybe I should start a year of selfishness? naw, too many people relying on me for stuff....
Hahahah. I just left my comment on the wrong post. Congrats Nadine on reaching 500 posts. Totally awesome! I'm working on a yet to be revealed quilt that's due at the quilter's tonight so I can get it mailed off by the end of the month.

Congratulations on 500 posts! As for me, pulling all those fall colors out of my stash and will make a table runner.
Open my windows... I love nothing more than crafting with the windows open and hearing the neighborhood sounds... it's refreshing and revitalizing!...
It's boutique season at our house, so crafting hits full steam ahead and sucks up every spare (and some not so spare) minute.

I kick off the fall/winter nesting season by tilling the garden in, cutting down all the perennials, taking care of the leaves, and then loving my time to cook soup, sew, create, listen to books, and watch the storms come and go. I can hardly wait!!!!!
