Today was very warm and summery.
As evening fell it found me outside looking for some cool air
and a quiet place to sit and stitch.
The little red maple leaf fell near me as I stitched.
It is the last day of summer and night is already starting to arrive early in my quilty corner.
By 7:00pm, it was too dark to see and stitch and I had left my portable light inside.
So I have packed up and moved to the living room.
I am working on a very old UFO project ...
At some point I decided to hand embroider free form autumn leaves on the white squares.
I am a seasonal stitcher so this has been packed away for another year more than once.
Today I chose to pick up this project again.
Today I chose to pick up this project again.
I hope to have this one done this year before the snow flies.
Autumn is fleeting.
Time will tell.

Your leaves are lovely!
Yep I agree I think it needs some stitchy love in all those squares. But it is hard to work on a Christmas Quilt during the summer or a Halloween quilt during January.
Your quilt is beautiful! I was wondering if you were stitching freehand, as I don't see anything drawn on the white squares. You do great work freehand.

Good idea for a quilt! And it combines two of my favorite pastimes! Piecing and embroidery!
It will be fun to watch your progress on this quilt.
