Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful day full of food, family & friends, football and all the beauty of the fall season!

A Festive Holiday Stocking Cap

It's OFFICIALLY Christmas tree selling season. I know. I know. Thanksgiving isn't even here yet. Still, I received Christmas trees at work on Monday. I've been wanting to make a festive holiday hat to wear while selling Christmas trees for a while now. I decided THIS was the year!

Apple Butter Bars

I don't know what it is about fall and baking. They just seem to go together. I made these Applebutter Bars the other day and they were So-o-o-o good! I thought I would share the recipe with you (in case you wanted to do a little fall baking of your own).

Getting Organized!

Even though I didn't have enough maple leaf blocks to complete the quilt top yet......I began sewing the blocks together. I really didn't have a plan when I started this quilt top. I had bought 2 yards of the leaf fabric to incorporate into the quilt somehow....just wasn't sure how? I thought about setting the blocks in vertical stripes with stripes of the leaf fabric between. But, then, I saw a scrappy quilt set like this. Pieced block next to fabric block, set on the diagonal.....LOVED it! I had JUST enough fabric to cut the blocks/triangles for the size I was planning! I think it's turning out pretty good for having NO PLAN!
