Not much sewing going on this week. I need some medical tests and procedures, so we've been traveling to the Bay Area to see doctors. Hopefully, I can get sorted out quickly and get back to my sewing. At least we found a pet-friendly hotel, so when we stay over Archie can be with us. He is not a fan of being boarded.
Anyway, I decided to cheer myself up and bring out some of the early fall decorations yesterday. The top photo is my dining room table. I love that acorn pattern. It is Acorn Love by Lori Holt.
This is my coffee table, showing Sunflower Duet, a pattern by Kansas Trouble's Lynn Hagemeier. It is a design I found in a book called The Big Book of Table Toppers.
This little table topper is called the Buffalo Check Table Topper by Carried Away Designs. There is a Christmas one I've been wanting to make in red in green with presents where the pumpkins are. Adorable. Ignore my messy kitchen counters in the background. I had to dust before switching everything out.
This fall leaves table runner was made with batiks in my stash. The runner is from the Maple Leaf pattern by the Pattern Basket. I did change things up and made it a custom size. I like to use it on the dining table at Thanksgiving. Here is a picture from a year or so ago. Isn't the quilting stunning?
A smaller runner works well on my kitchen island.
Sunflowers go especially well with this little topper. The pattern is called Corn and Beans. Can't find the pattern at this point nor recall who designed it. Sorry! It is basically the corn and beans quilt block surrounded by flying geese and a couple of narrow borders. It was fast and easy and ended up about 18" square.
This is a little dried arrangement I made some years ago that I love to bring out in the fall. It's got a little quail sitting in the middle of it, can you spot him?
I've got loads more fall and Halloween runners I can (and will) bring out, but that's it for the time being.
Hope your week is going better than mine is…

Hope everything works out— medical things are so concerning. Glad you can take Archie with you. Your house looks fantastic— gosh— I would not even want you to see my kitchen counters, then! Xox

I hope you get some answers. I’m so glad Archie could go along. The decor is lovely. I too am ready for fall and cooler temperatures. Thinking of you…

I hope all of your medical tests go well. How happy you must be to have Archie with you when you travel! I have a mammogram today – the last in a long list of establishing new medical practitioners, as I have moved this year to Florida (from Georgia). I love all of your table toppers. I will be switching out my decor once September rolls around (yikes – that’s this Sunday!).

I’m thinking of you today & hoping for good results for your medical tests & procedures. Having Archie with you takes a bit of worry off your plate. Your Autumn decor is pretty, as always! Take care of yourself & we’ll all be right here when you return.

I pray that all of your tests go well and have good reports. I love all of your fall table topper decor. Fall is my favorite season. I am blessed to live in two states during fall. So I get to decorate our Tennessee home for September and October. Then we drive home to California and get out the decorations for November. It makes a great excuse to make tons of fall quilts.

I pop in quickly just to peek and see all your beautiful fall decorations out. you forgot the crows! they are my fave.
I’m glad you could take Archie with you. He’ll distract you with demands for walks. maybe you can take him to the neighborhood where you grew up. it might be fun to see what’s going on at the old digs.
prayers and hugs for you. 2024 has been exhausting.

Oh, I love your Fall decor! My favorite season of all 🎃 Chin Up on and carry on with all the medical stuff, your Archie will calm you❤️ I went to get dreaded dental work done last week and found out I had way high blood pressure! Now I have to wait another week to see someone else about it and get it down and then back to the dentist. The dental fear is real here! Prayers for your health ❤️

Your home looks beautiful. I love fall but is doesn’t come to Texas until December. Being from Wisconsin fall is my favorite time of the year.

I love fall and all your toppers are beautiful! I will have to enjoy the work of others as I too have medical “issues” we’re trying to clear up. And how neat you can take Archie.

Your autumn decorations are lovely, and I hope it lifted your spirits to see them spread out in your home. It’s discouraging and sometimes a little scary to undergo medical tests and procedures, and I hope and pray your results are encouraging.
