As I mentioned in my last post, I've been making some coiled fabric bowls recently, and that carried forward to this post. I have made some commission pieces, but also have started making some to bring to Arts Connection, and hopefully I will also have some to post on one of my e-commerce pages soon. Here's one I finished today... if you have been following my blog for awhile, you will recall that I have a "thing" for Autumn Leaves, so each year for several years now, I make several for the season:
And I also love to make covered journals, which are a great gift item:
Some of these are used with scraps of fabric I've accumulated; one has a botanical print that I created last year, then stitched around some of the leaf imprints. The last one is of a beautiful batik leaf print, combined with a strip of sprigged blue fabric I've had in my stash for at least 20 years! I love making these, and hope it will keep journal writing alive for at least some budding writers!
On the weather front, we got a temporary reprieve from the unseasonably hot temperatures at least for a couple of days and nights! A cold front came down from Canada and made me decide to make a big pot of 15 bean soup one night... enough for another dinner, and a couple of lunches!
Having said all that, I will leave you with a giggle:
Stay safe, but don't forget to laugh!

That last picture definitely sums up this year! And your autumn baskets are gorgeous.
Love the basket. Best of success as the holiday buying season starts
