Autumn Glow By: Yvonne Bamlett, Alberta, Canada This runner starts with a Bears Paw block and is expanded with log cabins strips all arranged for the colors to cordinate.

Scrap Flower Garden Table Runner By: Mary Ann, Oregon, USA While doing some daycare for my nephews I tried English paper piecing for the first time.

I love football and the leaves in autumn
Two things, the cooler, crisper air and college football. This pattern looks like something I could handle. It is very pretty.
I love all the great table toppers, very inspiring and fun to vote this week :-)
My favorite thing about fall is the variability of the weather, you just never really know what to expect and this week the floods in Colorado prove that! I can’t wait to start on my mug rug swap fall projects now!!!
I love the fall colors in the trees and the cooler weather. It makes me want to retreat to my sewing studio and create wonderful things.
My favorite thing about fall/autumn is the. Fall colors. The trees turn beautiful colors. There are shades of red, orange, yellow and bronze. Fabulous.
I love this pattern. I think this would be an incentive to sew again.
I live in Vermont and the fall season is so pretty here. My hubby takes us for rides just so I can take pictures of the mountains with all the different colors of the leaves. I love it and the rides gives us great family time as well.
I love watching the leaves turn the beautiful colours that they do, then I love watching them slowly fall off the trees and leave the trees bare, ready for spring.
I love the cooler weather and getting to wear sweaters again.
I love the cool evenings, the deep orange, red, purple color do the sunset…backlighting the silhouettes of the trees and the buildings.
College football & cooler weather are my favorites in the fall. Thanks.
decorating with bright fall colors. orange, yellow, purple, green. I have a spiderweb quilt that comes out in the fall.
and it is time to get serious about working on Christmas presents !!
I love the trees turning color.
I love the leaves, although those in other areas would wonder why. In Alberta, most of the trees turn only yellow, and the colour lasts for only a week or two before a big wind blows them all off the trees (usually by the end of September). But, I always appreciate them while they are there!
i love our traditional trip to get apples and admire the fall color. this started probably before i was born…been doing it for as long as i can remember, and have continued it even since my parents are gone. now it is my sisters and children that go to see the beauty and the taste of fresh apples during the drive.
Raking the falling leaves, believe it or not. I like the rustle and crunchy sounds dry leaves create AND raking them up is great exercise.
My favourite part of fall is the changing of the colors when the leaves turn autumn gold and alk the fall flowers are blooming. What a beautiful season. Love the coolness.
Autumn,my favorite season
brings cooling tempertures
the leaves exploding with brillant color,
a lazy walk in the crisp fallen leaves
down a country road.
A time of reflection. Thanksgiving!
Wow, great table runners!
Best part of Fall? Colourful Leaves! And my horse feeling frisky, and as long as he doesn’t give me Air Miles it’s all good!
The changing of the colours on the trees, nature has a way with colours and they just blend all in. As a child, we would love to catch the leaves as they fell and it was considered lucky if you caught a perfectly whole leaf.
Wow Michelle, that table runner is beautiful. Great work.
My favorite part of the autumn season is cooking. My second is making Christmas and holiday presents! You can always count on something from me that was handmade!
I like the changing colors of the leaves on the trees and cooler weather. Michelle your table runner is awesome!
It was so hard to pick just four favorites this week. So many wonderful table runners.
My favorite part of the Fall/Autumn season is hard to pin down. I’m happy that the temperatures are starting to fall. The leaves are beginning to change color. The vegetable garden is full of bounty but is reaching the end as well. Everything is slowing down, but I like the changes. I suppose I do like that sitting with a quilt in my lap to finish the binding isn’t something I dread, so that is a definite upside.
I love autumn for hiking and taking photographs!!!
Decorating. I have made many fall items and I love displaying them all.
I love the cooler weather and beautiful fall colors! This is always a time for baking and getting ready for the winter months ahead.
Fall in northern Wisconsin is beautiful. My favorite part is seeing the changing colors in the leaves.
Such beautiful table runners!
I like the colors of fall.
The cooler air make me more energetic! But I love the fall colors. I am mad at myself that I didn’t remember to get a table runner into the contest-lost track of the days!
Living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Seeing the leaves change daily as I look out my window at the Glorious Mountains around me.

I love the colors of autumn and the change in the weather to cooler temperatures. BTW, there were so many wonderful table runners in this weeks contest, it was difficult to pick four.
I love the rich warm colors of fall. They seem to be everywhere…in the trees, in fabric, in decorated cakes…everywhere.

I love seeing all the leaves changing and having cooler temps.
