My cousin Audrey cleaned out her sewing room a couple years ago and gave me some of her things. In the bag were two of these half-finished pumpkin quilts. Sometimes I drag my feet to finish my own projects, but it was fun to finish these and give one back to her.Here is a potpourri recipe that will help you think of fall. Pour water into a kettle and add some cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, and dried orange peels. Simmer on the stove for as long as you'd like; just keep an eye on the water level as you don't want this to boil out. We use this quite a bit in the winter, too.

That was a great find. I'm sure she appreciated having you finish one for her.
Thinking of how anxious most of us are for fall, makes me so glad that God made 'seasons'....it sure gives us something to look forward to.
The quilt is is perfect for fall...very pretty.

That pumpkin quilt is adorable! How neat that there were two... you get to keep one and bless her with the other!
I used to simmer potpourri on the stove too then I got away from it for some reason... I don't even remember why because it always made the whole house smell good!
Yes, I was blessed that Mary finished one for me!! She is the best cousin ever!
Thinking and aching for fall weather too. I love the smells of Autumn and fall
What a beautiful pumpkin quilt!
Time to enjoy the blessings of this harvest season!
Best wishes

Oh yes, bring on Fall, the coolness, the smells and the wonderful decorations! I am so ready after the extreme summer weather :>)!! I love the wall hanging, very sweet finish and lucky Audrey! Your simmer pot sounds similar to mine, but I have not added the Bay Leaf, I will try that! Blessings to you from my part of PA!
