Welcome to our Fall-O-Ween Blog Hop! So many of you have been spreading the word about Fall-O-Ween that I'm sure we'll have a great time! I was in Wisconsin this weekend and didn't get a chance to pull out a zipper winner from last week's comments - so (drum roll please) here is the winner - #47:
- I don't have a blog to spread the word - but I'll be emailing all my quilty friends! Looking forward to the blog hop. Went to my first Groovy Girls last Saturday. Great class. Love the zippers!!!!!
- Posted by: Trina Christenson | September 20, 2010 at 03:23 PM
Trina, contact me with your mailing address and I'll send an assortment of all 36 zipper colors out to you right away!
Remember to comment on all 10 of the designer's blogs during the blog hop to become eligible for over $500 of prizes!
My favorite fall color is orange, what else? And my favorite color combinations are colors right next to each other on the color wheel. I love the orange and yellow of candy corn and the different shades of orange in the pumpkins!
And I like the heirloom varieties of pumpkins - this stripey pumpkin is a more intense orange - and it makes the other pumpkins look kind of boring. And how about flowers - can you tell which of these flowers are not real? Which one is your favorite shade of orange?
Hop on over to Gudrun's blog today and see if she has used any orange in today's project . . . I know there is orange in her "Olivia" fabric line . . . and I wonder how many of the other Fall-O-Ween designers have orange on their blog today?
Here are some of the oranges that I'm auditioning for my project on Friday!
Congrats to the winner...lucky you..now zip it lol...I know silly...back to you..ORANGE, it has become one of my most fav, and in fact just yesterday I roasted some pie pumpkins and made a custard...mmmmm can you smell it still?

I love the warmth of orange as you do. And, of all the seasons I think fall is my favorite. Maybe because that's where we are right now.

I hadn't really thought about orange much before, it's not a colour I often use, but seeing on your blog made me realise it is really beautiful.

Oh, two of my favorites together...candy corn and pumpkins. I'm stealing that idea as I get my fall decor going today. Can't wait to see which oranges show up in Friday's project.

I love fall colors too -- especially a beautiful pumpkin orange. I LOVE those fabrics!
Posted by: Frankie | September 27, 2010 at 12:20 PM
Fall! My favorite season, especially this year - my second grandson was born on the first day of fall. Orange is my favorite color also. Fall has so many comfort foods and smells and colors - that's why I like it so much HUGS... and stitches
Posted by: Christie | September 27, 2010 at 01:44 PM
love the candy corn and pumpkins together, great idea!
Posted by: Robin Crittenden | September 27, 2010 at 01:48 PM
I love the colors of fall, but sadly, orange is not one of my go-to colors in my fabric stash. I've been making more of an effort to build up more though! I esp. love the red-orange in your dahlia photo. just gorgeous.
Posted by: Anne Walizer | September 27, 2010 at 01:49 PM
Autumn is my favourite time of year and orange is my favourite colour. Autumn feeds my creative side. Mother Nature is so inspiring at this time of year. Love your decroation, especially the pumpkins and candy corn.
Posted by: Claire | September 27, 2010 at 01:54 PM
I'm really enjoying stopping by all your blogs today - But, now I really want some candy corn - Thanks

Love those oranges! --they glow. You've collected a nice variety.
Posted by: Linda | September 28, 2010 at 12:29 AM
Love the colors of the fabrics you're auditioning. I didn't even know there are heirloom pumpkins!
Posted by: Leslie Schmidt | September 28, 2010 at 01:25 AM
Love the oranges! And your apple pie pizza sounds terrific!
Posted by: Barbara Jones | September 28, 2010 at 09:41 AM
I've seen the wonderful colors of your zippers and would love to get some. Right now I have too many other projects on my plate to start anything new, but I hope thing will clear up before Christmas so that everyone on my list gets a bag for Christmas!
About orange -- I love the color in the fall, but don't think I've ever made an orange quilt or project. My sister gave me a set of index card drawers and I decided to sort FQs by color. Sometime later, I went back to it and realized I didn't even have a drawer for red. So I've been collecting fabrics in the red (in fact the whole warm spectrum) lately.

xx My college colors are orange and blue. My first car was orange and the house door was too. You have a great spectrum of oranges in your fabric for your project. Thanks for the blog hop. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
Posted by: Marcia | September 28, 2010 at 01:19 PM
After looking at all the pictures I'm going to have to go to the fabric store and buy some orange fabric.
Posted by: Jackie | September 28, 2010 at 05:03 PM
Love the mini pumpkins on candy corn ... though I'd have to put the candy under glass at my house with my two daughters ... I would blame them, anyway ;)
Posted by: Wendy | September 28, 2010 at 11:15 PM
I'm so excited to be the zipper winner. My sister called me from PA (she's on vacation) to ask me if it was me that won. I'd been so busy this past week I totally forgot to check! Wow! Now I really have to get busy sewing with my new zippers! Thanks Terry!
Now to check out the blog hop!
