Those mushrooms are otherworldly, and this year I happen to have seen several incredible ones myself. None like that however. Your hand quilting is otherworldly as well, just wow. And another one of our lakes… I, like you, do love them so. I have plans to hopefully get up to my side of Lake Huron in the next week or so as I think the colours should be about at their peak. Things are just starting to turn down by me on Lake Erie.

Have been following some of your adventures on FB (a bit jealously). You are not only back, you are back with a bang. All the butterfly blocks are complete - YAY. And that is how you turn Fall in to Spring. With a horde of butterflies. I agree with you about brown - used wisely it can work as a perfect neutral both with lights or darks.Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-30826318545599950132019-10-08T15:47:43.044-04:002019-10-08T15:47:43.044-04:00your Sedum autumn Joy are beautiful behind the pum...your Sedum autumn Joy are beautiful behind the pumpkins at the end.

That was a smart idea to keep the bodies of the butterfly until now. They will be charming no matter what way you decide to use them. The Hollyhock background fabric is very restful and sweet. Thanks for showing the lake photos.

Gorgeous area. I wish we could have seen some of that fall color, but the risk of getting trapped that far north is too risky. Your butterflies are looking so sweet now that their bodies are complete :)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-53515253889274925042019-10-06T08:48:16.534-04:002019-10-06T08:48:16.534-04:00Gosh you were busy.

I also think of browns as an old-fashioned color. I found I have a lot more brown prints than I realized while making some pumpkin blocks this month, and I love them!<br />I'm still such a fangirl of your quilting, it's just magnificent. I can't imagine stipple quilting by hand. My hands hurt just thinking about it.<br />What a great tip about pinning on fabric to make a piece fit the hoop! I'm going to try this with my cross stitching. (And yes I can cross stitch without killing my hands but for some reason hand quilting is harder - lol!)<br />Glad you got away to enjoy such a gorgeous vacation!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786068334983762178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-58602206212242976832019-10-06T08:47:12.677-04:002019-10-06T08:47:12.677-04:00The butterflies are taking flight!

They can play with it or cover up with it at your house. What little kid wouldn't like Grandma's rainbow butterfly quilt? Your vacation looks awesome, too. There are many Presque Isle lighthouses. I'm sure I've seen two myslef, but I've never seen this one. Your garden looks great, too! So much goodness in one post!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195401144486416881noreply@blogger.com
