Autumn in New Hampshire

I've been blog absent of late. Mostly because I haven't done a whole lot of sewing. I finished grandson #1's quilt and will start on one for grandson #2 today so back to the sewing room. Work just gets in the way. Anyhow, autumn here in NH has been really spectacular. The colors are the best ever. One morning I got up to get ready for work and noticed golden color coming through the living room drapes.
There's some wood amongst the colors on the side of the yard waiting for the chain saw.

A lot of the leaves had fallen at this point but they still are so pretty. Driving to work, which I do on back roads, has been a pleasant thing these days with beautiful colors to inspire.

I really like the orange and yellow berries against the slate colors here. Makes me want to make a quilt with these colors. The sky this time of year is often a slate color so it's really pretty with the colored leaves shining against it. Inspiration is everywhere. 

Then there's Miss Penny who looks so good against my favorite Halloween quilt. Speaking of Halloween quilts, I scored some great Halloween fabrics in a local quilt shop which I will tell you about next time. I smell another Halloween quilt coming out of the sewing room in the future.

  7. Gee, I miss those beautiful fall colors. We had a very hot dry summer and many of the trees that should be showing red are already brown. Thanks for sending some of your color our way!

  12. Your pictures are beautiful. It must be very peaceful where you live. However, it looks like it is pretty close to winter and right now the thought of winter is not something I am ready for. If I could stay home and not have to go out it would be heaven where you live though. Love the cat and Miss Penny. I do miss having a cat, they are such wonderful creatures.

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
