Back To School Blog Hop

It’s that time of year again…

What does back to school mean to you?
Are you a teacher excited to be molding young minds?
A parent jumping for joy that summer is over?

Back to school always made me happy yet sad at the same time. Happy that my babies were growing up yet sad that my babies were growing up. A mother’s dilemma.

I love this time of year. It means fall, fall, fall. I love fall!

Let me introduce you to a collection that just screams fall projects!

Beaujolais Collection

My friend Carole whipped up some FUN notebook covers.

A perfect gift for teachers, students, and….

…all your sewing bee friends *hint,hint*

Pattern can be found at the Orange Betty Blog.

THANK YOU to her husband for the great photos. You’re hired

 

If you can’t decide on just a few fabrics then use them all to make a fall quilt!!

Sorry it’s not bound yet

The quilt above was made using my new Loft Living pattern available in my Etsy and PatternSpot shops.
