Thoughtful Thursday

 Williamsburg museum painted dowry chest.

Scherenschnitte at the Old Country Store, Lancaster, PA

I've been trying to determine if the frames are done with vinegar painting.  Has anyone ever tried this technique?  I would love to learn it.

A Touch of Fall Color

Some pumpkins I grew this summer.  

  

View from my balcony.

Since I've been busy deep cleaning my house for the past 3 weeks, I've yet to get out and about to take any color-fall pictures.  Our leaves are starting to change just a bit.  First frost is predicted for Oct. 21-31, so I'm sure after that the color will come quickly.

For those of you in the area, don't forget the John C. Campbell Folk School is hosting it's annual Fall Festival this coming weekend.  If you want to shop, get there early on Saturday just as they open if not before hand, as it gets very crowded.  If you want to visit, come on Sunday.  The quality of workmanship I saw last year was outstanding.  And of course, it's a great place to buy Christmas gifts.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Once upon a time . . .

 . . .pink and green were thought of as "preppy" colors; although, I cannot remember why exactly.

Not surprisingly, this quilt was way ahead of it's time and I do believe the alternate blue squares gives it extra zing.  Can you see the scalloped stitching within the basket and the curved lines under the "handle"?  The glass glare made capturing the quilting lines rather difficult, but I did try.  Little did I know this exhibit would be gone so soon.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
