This is what I'm thinking for mine. I love this quilt and I love Hope Valley Fabric.
Thank you ImAGingerMonkey for the inspiration.

Guess what is next for the Old Red Barn Quilt Along Group........ Scrappy Dresdens. Think about how awesome a quiltful of these would look. I'm super excited.

This one was made by Amy Webb at the Sewing Summit and I hope there is one next year because I really want to go.

My People

 These are my people. This is where I come from.

 This is where I learned love.

This is where I get my funny

 Smiles and dimples to live for -
my heart is full of love for these people.

And our firstborn..from baby to young lady.

Winner #46

And the winner is...........#46 Michelle who's favorite thing about fall is "For me, fall is the perfect time to drink hot apple cider." Me too. When we lived in upstate NY I loved picking apples and eating doughnut holes and drinking cider all bundled up.

When we lived in Virginia my favorite thing to do in fall was to drive and look at all the trees along the BlueRidge Mountains. Amazing color.

I'm looking forward to see what traditions we set for ourselves in New Mexico. Thank you for sharing your fall favorites with me.

Congrats to Michelle!!!

I'm sure this had to be a "Oh crap" moment. The wind was not behaving this morning. One balloon landed on the public golf course, one in a parking lot and this guy is over I 25. Hopefully he found an empty field.

40th year of Balloon Fiesta

Front my balcony. Balloons dotting the skies and heading north. Can't wait to see them up close.
