I just love Fall!



......... and I just love Laura Gunn's gorgeous Lantern Bloom fabrics, so much!

I've been making some Fall table runners, and having a lot of fun with her gorgeous fabrics. Laura is a brilliant painter and artist. Her paintings have been wonderfully printed onto fabric, and the depth, texture and feeling in these fabrics is amazing.



Just look at the rich colors and depth. It wasn't hard to come up with a fun and playful pattern, to pull these fabrics into a delightful table runner.



What shall I make next, with the left over fabric? I have several things in mind....a fun bag, another runner, and some little girls clothing. It means even more to me to have grown up in the same town as Laura, and graduated from the same High School. Yay! Going to put together a Fall bouquet of Lantern blossoms to go with the new table runner..........I saw some cut fresh cut blossoms at the grocery store, last night. They didn't look half bad! Has anyone ever attempted to dry them upside down and preserve them? In fact, I know where to pick some branches, that are grown locally.......I just might have to look into this! I told you I love this time of year. Crisp cool mornings, and perfectly sunny and warm afternoons. Just right. Just like Fall.
