The colors of fall "leaf" me happy so the Leafs Me Happy Blog Hop is right up my alley. Our instructions were to make fall blocks - not necessarily to finish them up, just make them to share. So........
I worked on adding some fall colored New York Beauty blocks.
 |
| The blue is actually purple!! |
They will be added to others that I have been working on to eventually make a quilt. These are the new ones to which I added a few of the others so you can see where I am going with this.
Our neighborhood is invaded each evening by hundreds of black crows at this time of the year. They come for the falling acorns that are run over in the street. The caw-caw calling of the birds is deafening for several hours each night so in honor of the crows I created this. It is hand quilted and embroidered.
 |
| A glimpse of our street with the birds. |
What would autumn be without turkeys and the wonderful smells from the kitchen? This will be my Tom overseeing the cooking of Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today. As a giveaway for those who have made it down this far, I have a wonderful sponsor for my hop.

ReplyDeleteLove your NY Beauty Blocks. Your table topper with the crows is great. We had crows in our neighborhood, but I guess there are better "pickins" elsewhere as they have moved on. That spinning illusion block is intriguing. I would like to visit the shop you refer to in your block, but couldn't find a link. From NoCA, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally in love with your crow and pumpkin! It's simple but striking and perfect for the season. blessings, marlene

OMG. Your blocks are beautiful. Love all the colors. Thanks for the giveaway and I will look for her debut on Oct 3.
ReplyDeleteThis time of year it's not just crows but Canada Geese and an assortment of water fowl that are starting their annual trip south. At the same time there are many birds that start arriving from the Arctic region so there is a lot of noise, especially at dusk and dawn. They're scavenging for the last of the berries and the nuts.
ReplyDeleteI have just become a new follower.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are soooo beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI would buy the Czech glass buttons if I'm the lucky winner...thanks for the chance!
I'm a new follower (via email)
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks. Your crow on the pumpkin is my favorite esp. the little patchworks on the sides. We have acorns, too, but it's flocks of blackbirds that descend in our neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI did visit Thearica's shop. OM goodness, I loved everything I saw! Cloisonne Heart buttons, charms, Czech Glass Buttons, tiny fabric flowers, and Beaded Cabachons were just the beginning. I'm going back to thoroughly enjoy the experience. Thanks for the heads-up!
I love your blocks!! It looks so hard! yikes! I am definitely going to have to polish up my paper piecing skills!
ReplyDeleteNadine
I will get some of the lace motifs.

169 comments before mine! Yes, I may be officially jealous.
ReplyDeleteThe crows need to come to my house and eat the acorns before they fall on my pool deck.......it makes the biggest mess AND stains.
Hello dear Mary:-)
ReplyDeleteSuch fun projects you've been working on and I'm loving the Fall colours on them!! This morning I was going through my Halloween stuff and took out the little mug rug you had made me, I so love it:-)
We sometimes get quite a few crows here as well so I know what you mean about the noise they can make, it can be deafening! LOVE the crow on the pumpkin piece you made. Your Tom block is also adorable!! It's our Thanksgiving next Monday and I haven't even bought my turkey yet!
I hope you're having a good week, my friend. xoxo
I like the wide quilt backing fabric that Thearica has in her shop. Your New York Beauty blocks are lovely.
ReplyDeleteAll your projects are great but those New York Beauties make me drool! They are just stunning! As soon as I conquer my fear of curves, I'm gonna give that block a go! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, your pictures sure give me the inspiration to get back to sewing. Maybe this winter. Having a blast with my other blog decorating. Thanks for stopping by. Linda

I'm a new follower. It took a few minutes to become one because I was reading your entire blog. It's interesting. I didn't know there's a Swoon Along. Nice! I learn so much reading these blogs and my to-do list is becoming too long.
ReplyDeleteIf I won the gift certificate, I'd probably buy thread. Wouldn't it be nice to have perle cotton on hand for a stitching at a moment's notice? Those Czech buttons were calling my name, too!
ReplyDeleteStunning New York Beauty blocks. Wow. They kinda took my breath away... then you had me smiling with the whimsical crow TT and the delightful turkey. Then there's that lovely block in yummy oranges... brilliant job on each and every block. Lots of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!
PS. I would buy some of those gorgeous Czech glass buttons in Thearica's shop. Swoon... ;o)
Your New York Beauty blocks are just gorgeous... your fabrics are perfect... I've always wanted to make a NYB quilt and you've inspired me... and Tom overseeing the cooking, he he! what fun... I need one of those in my kitchen!!! Thanks so much for joining the hop and sharing your beautiful creations!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were creating a New York Beauty quilt. Love the colors!! That is on my 'some day' list of things to create. How do you like working with the curves?
ReplyDeleteYour little crow creation is adorable! I can only imagine how noisy it must be. I usually see them flying west in the morning and then heading back east to roost for the night. I have no idea where they land.
Your turkey is adorable with his dangling legs :)
And, last, but definitely not least, your orange block is amazing!
I checked out Thearica shop and would probably purchase some of the wide quilt backing fabric if I am the lucky winner.
Visited Thearica's shop and would buy White Floral On Beige quilt backing. Your quilt block is lovely.
ReplyDeletenicolesender(at)yahoo(dot)com
That block looks like two hands reaching out towards each other -- or maybe that's just my renewed "first love"!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - those Fall NY beauty blocks made me swoon!
ReplyDeleteSo Love Your Bolg. So happy I joined this Blog Hop. I became a follower!
ReplyDeletethe new york blocks are stunners!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the noise. We have a few crows on the roof tops and they are so noisy in the morning though not so much now that it is darker.
ReplyDeleteThe “block that cherry designed” ... cherry who, does this block have a name, and is there a pic of a quilt made from it?
ReplyDelete
