It is hard to describe the special quality of the sunlight in autumn. Sometime in August, though we are still experiencing hot temperatures, I can usually sense as the sun moves south when it changes from the hot summer light to the warm glow of the coming autumn. Then I start to anticipate the cool mornings and warm comfort of the sun as the season shifts.
The sun's light, especially in the mornings and evenings draws me to the window to see it make the leaves and flowers glow. Partly cloudy days make for lovely sunrises and sunsets. Though I couldn't really catch the loveliness of the light, I wanted to take a picture to remind me of how much I love the fall.
About a year or so ago, since I was getting requests for my quilting, I applied for a business license and started doing commissioned quilts. Since I wasn't really interested in building a business, I had opportunity to see how I liked doing commissioned quilts, and to determine if I would also have time to do personal projects. While I did enjoy the commissioned work, personal projects languished. Having to choose between the two, I decided to no longer take on commissioned work. Besides my sister-in-law's queen-size quilt, which I am still working on, here is the last of the my commissioned quilts. It is called Baby Steps.
It was a good experience, and many thanks to those who asked me to work on their quilts.
It is always the little odds and ends that take the most time to complete. My dear hubby's schedule doesn't allow him much time to do the extra stuff, but he took some time during his last vacation to take care of some small to-do's around the house. Several of the dowels that we use to hang my quilts needed painting, and there was one last quilt that needed to be hung above the fireplace. Now that it is up, that space in the house is finished. And again, I am loving this simple style.
