  Since the kids, grandkids are all going back to school and there is a chill in the air I begin to think about Fall.........Fall to me is a time to slow down...to enjoy our homes....enjoy time with families....to relax....as hubby and I get older we appreciate our home so much more..........little times..........where we just set...not talking just being together........hubby reading and me doing needlework.......I know this sounds old fashioned but we kinda are "old fashioned"..........we love times when one of our kids or grandkids take time to just come and set a few minutes and share their days and life with us....precious memories....its a time of "old fashioned goodness" . What is old fashioned Goodness?  ..............Faith in God, ....love, .....wholesomeness,.... respect, ...kindness, ....graciousness, ...honor, .....manners, .....values,....morals,.... modesty.... hospitality, ...appreciation,.... good clean fun, .....family traditions,.... Grandma’s old ...

 Finally got the throw, blanket or wall hanging done.  This can be used as any of them.  I purchased a panel and added fiberfill and backing.  I began to hand quilt stitch all around different objects.  As I hand quilted it made the picture become dimensional.  So love the bright colors in it.  Love these kinds of things for the holidays and enjoy doing the hand work.  It relaxs me and I then enjoy what is created when I am done.  Notice how the pumpkins stand out here as I finished working on them.  I try to make the back as pleasing as I can but still work my way through all three thicknesses. Fall is beginning to arrives so I took the throw out and placed in one of my rod iron rocking chairs for the pictures.  The sun was shining and it was just a beautiful day to take pictures in.
