Autumn Inspiration

Autumn Inspiration


 We are having perfect autumn weather here at the moment...........golden days with chilly cosy nights........bright blue sky, sunshine, berries, fruits, butterflies (in autumn colours) and mushrooms and toadstools to discover on our woodland walks.....
 .................and here are some of my autumn inspired makes......a pumpkin pillow......
 ............and some fabric pumpkins.....these are projects from my new book *modern vintage gifts*.....
........i am pleased to tell you that all the templates in the book are the actual size for working from so no need to enlarge them in a photocopier :) ..................
 .............. this little mushroom pillow below is also from the book............*modern vintage gifts* will soon be published and can be pre ordered now from amazon, all good book shops or at stitch craft create online here........
 ...............my big box of projects arrived back from the publishers last week and i have been enjoying seeing them all again and arranging them in my home :) .........crafty wise as well as work commissions, i have been knitting my new moss stitch sweater....here is a peek at it........i have finished the back and have got about half way up the front now.......
 ............and here are some of the crochet wristies i made last year during one of my crochet crushes....
 ..............they are just perfect to wear at the moment when a bit of extra warmth is needed......
 ..............i have begun a new blanket of big granny squares inspired by the colours on the back of my mini granny square cushion shown in my previous post..........
 .............in my kitchen there has been some crumble baking with apples from my daughters tree.....
 ..............and on my quilt cupboard door there is a new patchwork heart....part of my project in the latest issue of crafts beautiful magazine...its the christmas issue this time so it is full of ideas for lovely festive makes to get ready for gifting this year............
 ................autumn colour is everywhere.............this is a view through one of our kitchen windows, with hydrangeas on the sill and a colourful creeper turning gorgeous russet shades on a sandstone wall outside...............
 ...............more little pumpkins......i am tempted to make some more in some of this years favourite fabrics.........maybe tomorrow i will sew just a couple more .......
