HELLO FALL

 


I want to thank CARLA for putting together another fun Hop and so fitting to celebrate the next season.  Fall is my favorite season with cooler temperatures, fruits and vegies of the growing season, and the crisp colors.

I was going to make a small project, But.............


Fall, also, means plaids and snuggling under a warm quilt by the fire.  This is LORNA'S 'Buffalo Plaid Moose' pattern.  I changed the buffalo plaid setting to a scrappy use of plaids, homespuns, and shirts.  

My Dad had a run in with a moose many years ago and his favorite expression after that - when ever faced with conflict - was 'don't goose the moose'.  He had a 'moose crossing' sign here at the top of our long drive to slow drivers before getting into the main farm area - we don't have any moose here.  But he liked the gag.


I used up the large pieces of homespun for the back.  Just an added touch to the 'Earthy Fall' feel to this quilt.

And the rumple.....................


HEE HEE - Moe loved this quilt from the time I pulled that tote of homespuns and helped with every step in it's making.  So I quess he has a right to photo bomb and run back/forth behind the quilt.

GIVE AWAY



This lovely panel of owls and four fall leaf print fat quarters could be yours.  Just be sure I have a way to contact you.  I will pull the winner on Monday, Sept 28.

BE SURE TO VISIT

    Good morning, Sharon! What a fabulous Fall quilt. I like your choices for the background fabrics - they make a nice back drop for the moose. I suspect Moe knows a good thing when he sees it. It will be a good one to snuggle under and stay toasty warm. ~smile~ Roseanne

    Sharon, I love your moose quilt and the story about your father. These connections are an added bonus when quilting. I actually think I like the scrap plaid backing better than the buffalo plaid (don’t tell Lorna). Your owl panel and fall prints look festive and fun. Thanks for sharing. Janice.snell@gmail.com

    oh but your qult is lovely. i love the fabrics you used for the squares. oh but i love your dads quote. my dad had run in with a moose also, the moose decided to chase his car. thank goodness it gave up after a short while. had my dad in a dither for a while. LOL funnily enough my mom, who was in the car, was taking pictures and telling him to slow down so she could get a "great" shot. LOL what a lovely and generous give a way. thanks for the chance. my mom and i love owls. birds of wisdom and knowledge. quilting dash lady at comcast dot net

    Your dad sounds like he had a great sense of humor. I went over to Lorna's and was delighted to see her patterns are 50% off. Somehow, the moose coaxed 4 more of his friends to jump in my cart. I do like the scrappy background better than the buffalo check. It's beautifully crisp here today, perfect to root through my flannel stash for plaids.

    Love your quilt and fabulous way to use up those fabrics. LOL the moose story is wonderful. I had a run in with a baby moose and a mama in Yellowstone years ago when I was 18. Walking along a trail to the lake. Here this running. Baby moose skids to a halt a few inches from me, and here comes mama running right behind it. I moved into the woods at the side of the trial to let them pass. No harm, no foul, except to my poor little heart.

    Love the moose story. My husband and son were at Boy Scout camp several years ago, and someone left out some chips. In the middle of the night,the camper's were woken to the sound of an animal, and a shadow was cast on one of the leader's tent and he thought it was a 🐻 bear. He was terrified and was whispering, trying to get my husband's attention and not the bears. My husband laughed out loud at him and told him it was a raccoon 🦝, not a 🐻 bear. The poor leader was really embarrassed, and the boys were teasing him about it. My husband told the boys to come and stand in front of them and proceeded to lecture them about the real danger they had put everyone in by leaving out food. It was a good lesson for the Boy's. I love owls, they're so beautiful. Thanks for such a lovely giveaway. Jadahlgr at Yahoo dot com
