Hello all, Mary Ellen here.

What’s up buttercup? I’ve been getting ideas together for our guild slide show showcase. We have just over 50 quilts offered for photography for the show. That should give us enough shots for 2 slideshows easily. The quilts will be coming to the museum this week, and we’ll start the photography as soon as we organize them all. We want to take advantage of the wonderful fall weather and the light should be perfect for most of our outdoor shots. Now that we have a guild YouTube channel it will be very easy to get the show available for all of you and the public at large.

Do you decorate for fall and Halloween? I have lots of Halloween “quilty” stuff but I’d like to add some things that are more Septemberish (is that a word?)

Here are a few of the links I like so far:

Pumpkin mat or mug rug (click here). For myself lots of modifying would be done since needle turn and back-basting are not in my wheel house.

four leaves (pieced) (click here)

maple leaf log cabins (click here) ( I would just make 6 or 8 blocks for a table piece or wall quilt)

Remember comments =entries in a drawing for prizes.
