***************************************************************************************

The topic today for our "Fall-O-Ween" blog hop is "Fall Colors"

I decided to ask my mom to join me in this look at Fall! You know we forget a lot of things we did as a child and our moms' seem to remember it all don't they? I'm excited to have my mom on the blog hop with me to share fall this year!

What color IS fall? Oranges come to mind first thing... and my mom told me that I always loved Orange because of the pumpkins and loved the leaves changing. She says I was "always ready for the changes".

And you know what? I STILL love it when the leaves change (although now I wish they would wait just a bit longer!). I also adore pumpkins... all shapes and sizes ... there are so many luscious shades of orange to inspire me!

The process of thinking about Fall colors has got me itching to take the bunnies off the corner shelf and find my fall decorations.. my pumpkins and crows and leaves need to come out of the box!

Have YOU started to Decorate, or do YOU still have bunnies out? Come one.... you can tell me the truth....

Now CLICK HERE and see what project Gudrun has for us today! Leave a comment at her blog to be in the running for a "Fall-O-Ween' prize!

I don't even know how I found out about the blog hop, but here I am. I'm a new reader, as of about ten minutes ago, and I can see that my Sunday is going to be spent catching up on your blog as well as the other blogs! Sorry, family, eat take out! Mom's busy on the computer. This is going to be a fun day!

[Mary Ann]

Loved this blog hop Pat, and the rulers sound like just the next thing I must have!

[Virginia]

I just realized that I hadn't commented on your site during the blog tour. I've found some new-to-me blogs and have gathered some great recipes, saw some fabulous quilts, learn some new tips. I love the idea of the new rulers. If I don't win, I will be purchasing some.

[Jeanette]

I have enjoyed visiting each persons blog and reading about their first quilt. And of course I have enjoyed the receipes. I am out of town but when I get home I am going to copy them. Collecting receipes is almost as addicting as quilt notions. I did say almost ;)

[Jeanette]

These rulers look great. A friend bought one when we were in Portland a couple of weeks ago and I should have to. I guess I will have to go back and get some. Thanks for the giveaway.

[Marcia Kosturock]

This hop has been such great fun! Thank you. The anticipation of an announcement for the lucky winner... great! I would be so honored to own such wonderful rulers and my poor rotary cutter would say Ahhh thank you too!

[Shirley in Canada]

The hoppin' was a blast! Thanks for so much fun and travel and most of all a chance to win a set of rulers (I would have been overjoyed with one!!)

[Quiltluver-Karen]

Love the blog hops--so fun! I would love to win the rulers. I commented on all the blogs except Canton Village Quilts. At 9:00 am Sunday I couldn't comment because her comments were disabled. I thought the contest ran until the end of Sunday? Much confusion!

"New comments have been disabled for this post by a blog administrator."

[Kim G]

Great blog hops and such interesting topics! Wasn't able to leave a comment on Jackie's of Canton Works on her day!

[Ruthie]

Now I can't remember if I left a comment here, so I'm leaving another one as I print out the recipes.

[Mary]

Pretty sure I commented already but I'm so confused ... between the Fall-o-ween and the rulers. Love the ruler - was given one a gift just last week but really want the 36" one - finally - what a great idea - a LONG ruler. Thanks Pat - love ya!

[Avon Bingham]

Would love to try the new rulers enter me please

[Debra in Ohio]

What a great idea for a ruler!
