Fall-o-ween Day 7

Happy to say I am back from the Funny Farm.
I was really glad to get out of there. I'm telling ya...that horse really could use a shower.






Welcome to Day 7 of the Quilt Designer's Fall-o-ween Blog Hop.





Today's featured designer is Teri from Whisicals.
I can't wait to see what she has to offer, I so love her style.
Hop on over to her blog and check it out.



Today's topic is gatherings.
Fall is a time I like to get out in the country
to gather the goods found in the ditches.
You can find all sorts of interesting, colors, shapes and textures.



Various grasses.






Pretty blooming things.



Bittersweet.


Little tiny daisy like flowers.




Interesting shapes and textures.



Cattails, I love cattails.



Bright colored leaves, in shades of golds....




and shades of reds.



Milkweed pods. Although interesting,

I left these in the ditch as I did not like

the looks of those scary red bugs.


Buckeye.


Acorns.
The squirrels in our yard have also been very
busy scurrying around gathering and hiding
their winter supply of nuts.
This little guy has stopped to play with his....acorns.


Now hop on along to the other designer's blog to see if they have had gatherings or if they have gathered things.

    Happy Fall.

  14. Great photos Sandy, I love taking photgraphs of flowers and plants. I just came from such a walk.

    I love what you did with the acorn caps and wool. Very cute idea. What you call buckeyes I know as chestnuts.

    Thanks

  15. love these pictures! I have recently been "caught" taking pictures of the weeds on the south side of my lawn. They are such pretty little yellow flowers and I wanted to see if I could figure out what they were and how to "infest" the rest of my yard with them! Wouldn't my neighbors LOVE me?
