| An old paint-chipped ladder found at an antiques mall a few years ago stands in our living room, holding many of my handmade autumn quilts, cross stitch, and applique projects. |
As I compose this post we are hearing a weather forecast for 6 inches of snow expected to fall today! I am thrilled because as much as I love the outdoors, I am a homebody at heart -- an inside homebody! Today I am giving you a little tour of the Autumn decor inside our home. Just as with the outside embellishments, most of what I pull out every year is not new. I may sew a few things to add to the collection, but for the most part, it's repeats, year after year, like old friends who come to visit us every October and November.

| Close-up of a pumpkin applique. The hand work on this piece was done one year when Beloved was in the hospital with pneumonia and I needed something to keep my hands busy while he slept. |
 |
| The rusty orange fabrics in the quilting stores at this time of year are hard to resist! Even the smallest pieces can be used for projects. |
 |
| This is a felt 'Penny Rug' made in 1999. It's not really a rug, but a table runner. |
 |
| A painted wood umbrella stand in our entry hall holds silk flowers -- not umbrellas! The flowers are changed out according to the seasons. |
 |
| Of all the autumn projects I've made, this one with the leaf blocks is Beloved's favorite. |
 |
| This is the perfect gift from mother-in-law to son-in-law. My mother gave this to Beloved one year for Christmas as a tongue-in-cheek reminder of who he married! |
 |
| This is a fun table runner by a pattern from Art to Heart. I always smile when this is unpacked. We enjoy it on our family room coffee table. |
 |
| Block Party is the name of this wall quilt in the family room. The neutral colors work well with any season of the year. The runner on top of the sewing machine cabinet is Minnesota Hot Dish. |

 |
| There is no place for goblins in our home -- but Mr. and Mrs. Pilgrim come out long before Thanksgiving! |
 |
| One of my favorites is this mantel quilt of appliqued pumpkins. |
 |
| You may remember seeing my blog post about this Dresden Plate table topper completed just a few days ago. |
 |
| This table runner was made by my daughter from a Connecting Threads kit. The colors are good for Autumn and the snowmen slide us easily into winter! I don't have the link for this pattern but you can visit the Connecting Threads site here. |

| Red plates in the wall rack have been replaced with deep orange ones found at Good Will for $1 each. |
