  2. I just love teh picture of the bright leaves! My favorite memory is of when I was a child we had a yard that had a road next to it that was about 2 feet higher than our yard. there was a row of trees right next to the drop off. I would lay under the trees where teh leaves had piled so very high. Every time a car would drive by it would carry a few more leaves that would drop on me (And also more came down from the trees).

  3. Love your pumpkins! Ah Fall. Love the leaves turning, but that means they will soon fall and need to be raked up! Thank you for the great giveaway. I do not have a Blog.

  17. I can remember raking the leaves all up in neat piles and then jumping in them. What fun! Of course, then we had to rake them all up again but we were kids so what did it matter!

    ReplyDelete
  18. You designed a nice block! Thanks for showing!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Love your pumpkins! I used to play house with the leaves too! Funny, I had forgotten that until I read your memory! I enjoyed walking in the woods with my dad and then my husband and later with hubby and kids. It was always so nice!

  20. For me it's all about the leaves. Such gorgeous colours - the last hurrah before sleeping until spring.

  21. My mom and always made donuts in the fall. I don't know why we never made them any other time, but it was definitely a signal that fall is here. One year we were making them and they just weren't puffing up at all - we had forgotten the sugar!! Through that batch out and started over from scratch! Love your pumpkins.

    ReplyDelete
  22. That is a really nice design. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love traveling with my husband when he is working to see the changing of the leaves. I go at least once every fall/ marlaruthnelson@gmail.com

  23. your project is beautiful. Makes me want to make more fall decor. My favorite memory of fall is the time change. More time to stay in and stitch.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I really like your sweet pumpkins. We used to build leaf houses too, but my favorite memory is burning the big pile of leaves with my big brother. We used to be able to do that way back in the day. lol I guess I just dated myself.

  26. I remember when my son was little all the hours spent planning and making his Halloween costumes. He was always so thrilled when they were done and loved wearing them.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Great block, thanks for sharing and the promise of a tut to follow. Back in the day you raked the leaves no leaf blower in our house. It was a 2 weekend event. One of the few things we did as a family including the dogs, they loved the piles.

  34. Sad to say, I don't have many memories of fall. I grew up in Florida and the leaves don't change. I love nothing more each year than watching the colors change now that I am in NC.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I think many of us have the same memories of jumping into a huge pile of leaves that my Dad had just raked. Thanks for sharing your pumpkin block.

  45. My favorite memory of fall was going up to the park that was full of leaves and raking up all of those leaves as a big group of kids. We raked up the biggest pile of leaves EVER! Then we were running through leaves over our heads all day long. It was so much fun. We went back all week long until the leaves were little more than bits.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Thanks for the give away! My favorite fall memory would have to be apple picking and cider donuts. Mmmm, fall and comfort food.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think I'll grab a good book and my favorite cup of tea and join you! Fall is my favorite time of year. Favorite memory? Once when I was waiting for the kids to get off the school bus, I raked leaves into a huge pile, buried myself inside, and then sprang out of the leaf pile as they approached. They squealed with delight when they figured out it was me! Fun, fun.

  51. Rosemary B here:
    I love your block! I love the pumpkins, really beautiful!

    I love Fall, I love to walk and it is always humorous to find a tree that just decided to drop everything all at once, just over night, and then others that hang on to a few leaves forever. I love the colors of Fall.

    I am following
    Love your lovely creativity

    ReplyDelete
  52. Very cute block. My favorite fall memory is going to Door County, Wi every year over Columbus Day weekend and camp, see the beautiful colors, hike and just enjoy the crisp fall weather. Heading there in a couple of days!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I can tell you are from the Mid-west as this is my favorite memory. I was explaining to my grandson that we use to make houses out of the leaves and then play in the houses. Then as all the leaves would be just about off of the trees all the neighborhood kids would rake a huge pile of leaves onto my dads garden. Then we would have a huge bonfire, roast hotdogs and marshmallows. Seems so simple but made for wonderful memories. Thanks for the great giveaway.

  90. Your pumpkin block is adorble. I love all fall fabrics and ideas. As for a fall memory, I too remember making the rooms with rows of leaves. But coming from a family of 8 kids and being the youngest, I always thought it was funny when the brothers had to rake the large yard we had, then I would come along and jump into the pile of leaves. Thanks for the lovely giveaway. Thanks for sharing your talent.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I am a lucky new follower # 95 and looking forward to more post. Had to chuckle out loud about your dog barking at the pumpkin. We had a dog that did the same thing to a mini-snowman we built for him and showed it to him. Dogs are so darn stinkin' fun.

    ReplyDelete
  92. It's adorable, I really like your creation :)
    That's so funny about the houses with the rooms and furniture, I was trying to explain that that was something all the girls in my class used to do at school. He didn't get it! I would have been 7 at the time...

  103. Now that is a creative block, I like the way it all comes together. Reminds of the pumpin patches back in Pennsylvania. My favorite Fall memory. That would have to be raking the leaves, jumping in the pile and then covering myself with the leaves. It was a hide and seek game with the dog.

    ReplyDelete
  110. I grew up in Minnesota too and played the same game of raking leaves into "rooms". My dad would get so impatient with me after awhile because those leaves just didn't end up in one big pile like he wanted. And I loved that smell of dry leaves!

  118. In years past i would have shared the same favorite memory of fall. Having grown up in the Endless Mountains of PA, and life has periodically has taken me from the area. My greatest memory is the wonder ful scent and crunch of the fallen leaves. Of course it is all topped off with a glass of fresh apple cider and a Stromans powdered sugar donut.

  123. Oh, my memory of Fall really centered around the talk of the leaves. My husband was a Highway Foreman for a town close to us and then had to pick up all the leaves every day for two months. It was a dirty dusty job. He and his crew hated leaves, so there was never talk of how pretty they were. But now, we laugh about it and love to see them come. Oh, also the smell of the apple pies baking. I was always baking

A favorite fall memory is tossing a tennis ball into a pile of leaves for our mini dachshund to chase. She totally disappears and comes out with the ball every time. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.

  151. My favorite memory for fall is apple picking in my uncle's orchard in the fall when I was small. We always went there on his farm. I loved it there!

    Love your block and your table runner will be so pretty and festive.

    Thank you

  153. I love everything about fall. It is hard to pick a favorite memory. Just walking ... amid all that glorious color ... with the leaves falling ... and crunching underfoot ... would have to be the best ... :) Pat

  154. My favorite memory is the changing colors and the crispness in the air. We don't get that fall reaction down here.

  155. I too love fall colors. One good memory - my then 3 year old son had just started to wear glasses. He ran in the house and told me he lost them in the pile of leaves they were playing in. So outside we go, the kids had raked a huge pile of leaves about a foot deep and 8-10 feet square. I asked him where he'd been standing, went to that spot, and on my very first sweep with my hands found his glasses.

  158. I love the fall. I especially like it this year after the brutally hot summer. My memory of fall is fairly new since our grankids have been born. We farm and we also plant pumpkins for the grandkids to come and pick their special pumpkin.I love watching them run and checking out what has grown and finding "their" pumpkin.

  164. I love the sound of the acorns crunching beneath my boots. Did I say boots, I mean flip flops. I'm a Floridian. :) I do love fall, when it finally gets here in January. :)

  166. Raking leaves. We didn't have a lot but it was always fun for me. Reminds me of Thanksgiving so I must have done it on Thanksgiving holiday a lot.
