Can you believe it's October 1st already??!! I love October...the smell of the leaves as they change to glorious shades of rust, red, amber and gold...the smell of wood smoke as cold weather creeps in and wood stoves get fired up...the smell of ripening apples hanging within arm's reach begging to be picked and cooked with cinnamon and spices....the fresh clean frosty mornings that clear out the stale air from my lungs and refresh me..the beautiful huge shiny harvest moon that lights the night up as if it were day and seems to hang so close to the earth that you could reach out and touch it...the feel of sticky and wet pumpkin seeds as I prepare the annual Jack-o-lantern...I love all of it!
I, also, love celebrations and that it why I joined the Fall into Fall Quilter's Blog Giveaway!; a great way to start the fall season! Thanks to Debi for this wonderful idea and for organizing it, which is a big job! Make sure you click on my sidebar scarecrow to go visit the main site where all the bloggers who are participating can be found!

I think fall is the favorite season of most quilters, maybe it is because there are so many rich beautiful fall colors. Mine favorite is red, dark rich barn red. Enjoy the season. BettyLou
My favorite color is purple - it can work as an accent color with the main fall colors, just enough to make it pop! Thanks for the chance to win!
Green is my all time fav color but at this time of year, there is a special shade of yellow in nature that is stunning. The pincushion you made is very cute! Thanks for the giveaway Shelley!

Hi Shelley. I love ALL Fall colors but to choose a favorite Fall color it would be rust-y.
My favorite OVERALL color is hunter green..and of course Chocolate Brown...oops, I guess that's TWO colors...I'm bad.
I LOVE pumpkins for Fall - everyone knows that about me. I have a small pumpkin patch out back and am ready to pick them.

Red is my favorite (tho orange and blue are close behind); I love the red you've used as the background of your blog. Thanks very much for the variety in your giveaway; the leaf fabric would be the perfect fabric to use as the "theme" fabric in a quilt.

My favorite color changes depending on what it is for but I love sea glass blue right now.
Right now I love burgundy. I like your giveaway. Thank you.
Oh, how I would love to win your prize...and you may think this silly... but my pins keep flying out of the little box and the pin cushion I tried to sew just didn't come out right, and I refuse to use the little red tomato one I have because of bad home ec memories from high school (shudder at the remembrance of that strangely shaped nightie I couldn't quite make properly)! Anyway, I am a newbie quilter and sure appreciate seeing your work for insight and inspiration!
My favourite colour is orange, whether bright and shiny or rusty and dull!
Lime green, lime green, lime green - I use it as a neutral.

How can I pick my favourite colour at this time of year? Just looking outside on our drive yesterday makes me love all the oranges and browns and reds that are out there! Enjoy your giveaway!
My favorite color is royal or Yale blue, althought I like all shades of blue. Lately, I have been on a red kick. You stated the magic word: pincushion. I collect them and belong to a pincushion group.

I have such a hard time deciding on my favorite color. I am trying very hard to stretch my palette, so to speak. I still tend to move toward earthy colors like taupe, olive green and such. Having a new grandson has introduced some wonderful bright colors into my stash - he loves to gaze at the bright colors! thank you for the chance to win.

That's the cutest little pincushion!! I love to wear any shade of pink, from pale, baby pink to deep raspberry, but I think my actual favorite color has to be teal - you know, the one you can't really tell if it's blue or green, but it's really pretty with purple. Thanks for the great giveaways!!

I can't enter this give away because I live in the Netherlands, but I wanted to say congrats to the winner. And that I loved reading your blog, so I have become a follower, I want to come back to read more. BTW Beautiful give away, mine color is orange.
Fun giveaway! I have never read a Fons and Porter magazine, so that would be fun to see! And I would definately use up that fall fabric. My favorite colour is probably blue, although I don't seem to use it in my quilts as much as in my decorating and my clothing.
I love lots of colors depending on what we're doing with them, but generally I think my "favorite color" would be green.
thanks for the opportunity to win that gorgeous fabric ~
