One of my favorite quilts for fall "Harvest Baskets" ala Gwen Marston inspiration.
End of the season for my annuals. I really enjoyed this mix.
I'll plant more of this next year~ they are drought resistant too.
I did a little fall decorating by my kitchen sink...you know where I'll enjoy it often. The cardinal was glowing on this rainy day.
Spread refrigerated crescent rolls with pesto (this is a Costco brand and is excellent!) sprinkle with cheese and bake.
I was very luck to get this last photo - they go very quickly here!
Lastly, I hung my Sumptuous Stars EPP Star quilt for the fall. It is always fun to see old friends. I use the Hang it Dang It and as I've said before: it is the PERFECT accessory for hanging quilts.

Love the warm glow of your quilts and decor. Anyone would be happy to sit and stitch that Whig Rose- it's so appealing. Enjoy the fair and show us some of the new "snacks"- those are always interesting!
I had to laugh at the he-men enjoying the fire and their "cellular telephones"! Love your decorating. I especially love that little basket quilt. Yum!
I like how you used the two different border fabrics on your basket quilt. I have done the same thing for a quilt border. Adds interest and sometimes uses up fabric I didn't have enough of to be four borders in size.
Do you have an electrical plug at your kitchen window or are the lights battery operated? Nice display.
Barb, your basket quilt is just darling!! Happy fall!
Lovely change-of-season decor! I always think of Peg Bracken's memoir, "A Window Over the Sink." When she was planning her dream retirement home she insisted that there be a window over the kitchen sink. (Alas, I don't have one in my kitchen.)
Basket quilts are one of my favorites! I just posted one today too (we so think alike). All of you rdecorations look so homey. I never heard of Hang It Dang It! Thanks for the tip!
Love baskets and Gwen. I hate the thought of tossing my annuals too. I put white vincas in one pot and they did super and still look great. Enjoy the fair. Tomorrow we are heading to volunteer for the Bourbon Country Burn. We don't bike but we like camping and bourbon!

Fun post today. I too plant portulaca and love it! I had a bunch of volunteers come up this year so I didn't need to buy any! I too use the Hang It Dang It and find it's so easy to use. I have 2 sizes so one nail works with both. jodyrandall@hotmail.com
YOu have such a knack for decorating! Your kitchen window is so cute.
I have a liberated basket quilt too done in GM class. Yours is perfect for fall.
How fortunate you are to have that lovely kitchen window, so perfect for seasonal decorating, not to mention all the natural light! I love that little basket quilt, it sings autumn, apple picking season, and fruitful baskets!
Beautifully decorated spots--love your sink area--with a view, too!! I don't have a window over my sink and i really miss it. Beautiful stars quilt--and I love your fruit baskets--they are definitely my style of quilting...hugs, Julierose Happy Autumn--my fave, too.
A fun post for sure! I love the quilty goodness and all your fall decorating. I have been decorating for fall too! Loving the cooler weather!
Two beautiful quilts in this post and another on the way. Your kitchen window decor is always fun— Love it!
Love your kitchen sink decorations! I face a wall and have hand washed every dish for the last 27 years facing that wall!
Your home always looks so cozy. Loved seeing your basket quilt again!:)
In love with the basket quilt. Omg. Xx
Wow, fall is in the air at your house! Fun basket quilt with different border fabrics and I always enjoy seeing Sumptuous Stars. I absolutely love your Whig Rose block! Pretty annuals. Wish I could grow Portulacas--they remind me of my grandmother's garden :)
I didn't know the "hang it dang it" but I used a telescopic arm for one of my quilt ! I think the result is the same !
I love a lot your fall decoration and especially the flowers ! I have the same too ! I love all the different colors they have !
Happy Fall dear friend !
Oh I forgot ! Your quilts are awesome ! ;)
Sitting in your garden with the firepit would be lovely for a fall day. Love your fall decor and your star quilt. It is fun to unfold old favorites and enjoy their colors and designs again. Thanks for sharing with us
I'm so envious of your rain. I need a few rainy days myself. I just noticed the string of lights with your cardinal and I've added the idea of outlets near high window ledges for our house... someday. Thanks.
Have a great time at the fair! I LOVE your star fall quilt -- one of these days I'm going to make something similar (my list of to-make is long and glorious LOL). Your kitchen window is gorgeous! Happy Fall!
I'm still waiting for the cooler weather to get this far south! Thanks for the pesto roll recipe - I predict that will be a huge favorite at my house. Hang It Dang It sounds like a great idea - I will be ordering one asap!
