Hello Fall Blog Hop

A big thanks to Carla of Creatin in the Sticks for bringing us this hop!

Here's the list of today's participants:

**********************

Living in New England (Massachusetts) I really love Fall. The air starts cooling, a welcome change from the Summer heat, and the leaves start turning. There's nothing like a wide expanse of colorful foliage on a bright Fall day!

So I decided to represent those beautiful trees in my own simple way...with a Penny Rug design. If you're not familiar with what a Penny Rug is, you can read up on it here. They are traditionally made with felted wool, but can also be made with wool felt, which is what I primarily use. You can read about the difference in the two materials here. I use National Nonwovens WoolFelt, which you can explore here.

My design is called "Fall Foliage Penny Rug." It consists of tree trunks, colorful foliage atop, and a pile of fallen leaves at the base of each tree. It measures 16" and can be used to adorn a table top:


It's quick to stitch up using embroidery floss that matches the WoolFelt colors.


The pattern is available for sale in my Etsy shop.

It's a Garden Party Row Along


A big thanks to Marian for bringing us another great Row Along! 
Here's a list of today's participants:
---------------------------------

This year's theme is, obviously, gardens/gardening. I decided to focus on the things needed to get a garden started/planted. My row measures 12.5" x 30.5" including outside seam allowance, and consists of eleven blocks.

The first, and biggest block, is the wheelbarrow. It measures 6.5" x 12.5" including seam allowance. It will be the centerpiece of the row.

Above the wheelbarrow are a glove and a spade. They each measure 3.5" x 6.5" including seam allowances.

Below the wheelbarrow are another glove and a fork. They each measure 3.5" x 6.5" including seam allowances.

On the left side of the row is a long-handled spade block. It measures 3.5" x 12.5" including seam allowance.

To the right of the spade block, are a watering can block and seedlings block. They each measure 6.5" x 6.5" including seam allowances.

On the right side of the row is a shovel block. It measures 3.5" x 12.5" including seam allowance.

To the left of the shovel block, are another seedlings block and a hat block. They each measure 6.5" x 6.5" including seam allowances.

And here's an illustration of the finished row with all the blocks in their spots:
