Autumn ... love those colors!

I went on a little road trip last Thursday to Steamboat, Colorado. I have to tell you, the colors were fabulous along the Colorado river.  The Cottonwoods were more vibrant with their yellows and golds than I have seen in a long time!!  Stunningly beautiful!

Seems only right to work with the colors of my favorite season.

 This little quilted wall quilt or table topper is perfect for the season!! And of course Maple leaves are more than appropriate!  It is currently for sale in my etsy shop if you are interested: https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/pinsandtangledneedle/tools/listings/stats:true/486683181

Then there are my gowns.  This one, though the picture doesn't show it to its best beauty is a wonderful green plaid.  A reproduction of a 1880's walking gown.  It, too, is being sold: https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/houseofpoleighnaise/tools/listings/stats:true/473187434

And this one as well!  A reproduction of a bustle ball gown ... I love it! https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/houseofpoleighnaise/tools/listings/stats:true/488765263

Even though Autumn is my favorite season, the winter holidays are near, so on to sewing with the Christmas season color palette .... bring on the reds and greens!

On a little side note, the 8th is a very important date.  Of all of the elections we've been faced with, this one really needs your vote.  I do not care to know which candidate you like or dislike. Just vote.  We have an interesting future ahead of us .... I wish I had a crystal ball, but alas, I do not.
