Hi Friends,
The weather is getting cooler and the leaves are turning the most gorgeous shades of reds, yellows and oranges. It is breath taking outside right now. Fall is certainly here and let me tell you why I think fall is the best season to do machine embroidery.
1. The kids have gone back to school. Now that the children are back in school and have been for a bit, we moms are getting back into our school routines and that means more mom time during the day. More time for us to get out our fabric stashes and sew while it the house is peacefully quiet.
2. The colors outdoors are inspirational. I will confess spring is my favorite season, but fall comes in second. I love the colors of fall, so much so, walls in my home are painted the beautiful rusty red color that maple leaves turn this time of year. I am drawn to the colors of autumn when I shop for clothing. I think there is such a depth and richness to those colors.
3. You can embroider outside. Yes you can! Do any of you do that? If the weather is not humid or windy I love to take my embroidery machine outside to sew where I can listen to the chatter of the birds and chipmunks. The back border of our property is a stream that makes the most peaceful sound. Dear will walk oh 50 feet or so away and turkey will strut by. Oh my gosh I’m so glad to be out of the city and living in the country now.
4. There are so many beautiful fall embroidery designs that you can decorate your home with. Don’t forget my Embroidery JAM Fall Set. You can add machine embroidery accents to a beautiful fall wreath, or to a fireplace mantel. Fall embroidery decorations can be hung from door knobs or attached to the backs of chairs. There is no limit as to what you can decorate with machine embroidery.
5. Most importantly, Christmas is just around the corner and now is the time to prepare in advance for gift giving. Embroider some hand towels and have them on hand to give to holiday guests as they stop by. Embroider on Christmas stockings and make Christmas ornaments. The holiday season will be here before we know it.
These are my reasons why I love to do machine embroidery in the fall. How about you? What is your favorite season to embroider and why?
Love and Blessings Everyone,
Nancy
