Fall is a wonderful time of year. The high temperatures of the area have dropped a bit and although I love the heat, I also hate to be cold so the temperatures right now are perfect. The trees in the mountains are changing color and fall decorations of orange, brown and yellow are everywhere. In New Mexico you also know it’s fall when red chili are hung to dry and the air has the wonderful fragrance of roasting chili.
About this time one starts thinking of Christmas crafts and the cooler temperatures certainly make it easier to quilt in the evenings or finish bindings on the quilts made during the summer. Making gifts is one of my favorite things to do and I’ve had my list done for some time. Traveling during the summer months always includes stops at local quilt shops to find that perfect fabric for gifts
Quilting classes are starting as everyone wants to make special gifts for special people. We will be making small bags for cosmetics or rotary cutters or pencils etc. in the next class.
