my fabric muse & a giveaway!

While I went to grab my camera to share this super cute applique pattern with you, Avery hurried to the kitchen to grab a piece of pizza. With the pizza sauce inches from her fresh, white shirt I snapped a photo! Not only is she fast but she's sneaky too! :) Okay, back to the pattern, I've been wanting to use this pattern on one of Avery's shirts for months and I finally did! I found it at Sandi Henderson's blog. She designed all the fabric in the quilt I made for Quincey, this book, the recycle bag etc etc. She's amazing!
The fabric I used on this tee is Amy Butler (shame on me;) but I can't wait to play with Sandi's new Farmer's Market line. If I could only even attempt to sew the skirts and other beauties she whips out for her girls, but for now I'll stick to using her fabric in my scrapbooks. :)



Also, it makes me happy that Scrap Etc loves my blog readers as much as I do and want to send one of their killer kits to a lucky reader's doorstep!! But the question is what do you have to do to win one? :) How about leave me a comment about something you're anticipating about Fall. While you're thinking click on their blog and check out the awesome examples they've made with it!
I wish I could attend their Wrapper's Delight but I will for sure be at their Spring event! Then I can hang out with my friend Gretchen & she can show me why she loves the South so much!! What are grits anyway? :)

The Big E!!! It is a fair held in MA and honors all NE states. It is a food, ride and agricultural feast! I have been every year since I was 5!!! I love it and it rings in the fall for me and my family!! Happy fall!

I'm looking forward to cool mornings with a crisp blue sky. I can't wait for local festivals - such as "Apple Days". I love pumpkin carving with my hubby! And snuggling by the fire on cold Fall nites. And of course using all of the Autumn colors in my scrapbooking:)

I'm a West Virginia girl, so of course the best thing about Fall is WVU football!!!! Last year our coach left us to head off to Michigan so we are starting brand new with a new coach. WVU football means getting together with the family, eating great food, and watching some football! :)

What I am anticipating most about fall is Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday and I love everything about it. The decorations, the dinner, the dessert, the parade, and all the time with family and friends. This year I'm hosting and I'm going to do a special mini book that everyone can write in - I can't wait!

I'm looking forward to turning off the air conditioning and enjoying open windows! Lets hope it cools off enough that that actually happens this year!!! (Last year in FL we had the air on year round...it was awful!)

Kirsten said...

You know, I used to dread Fall, because I live in the Northwest and the rain is coming, and it lasts about 8 months...but I've tried to embrace it lately, so I'm looking forward to cups of tea and cozy quilts.

Susan said...

I love autumn and one of my favorite things about it is sleeping with the window cracked open at night and sleeping in the cool crisp night air.

Wow, so many comments! :) I am anticipating our daughter's tenth birthday. We love the "double digit" birthday around here. She wants a pocket watch, inspired by the golden compass book. She wants her birthday theme to be "time/clock". Her birthday is early October. :) Their minds, growing and changing, make me smile... and want to scrapbook! :)

Not ready for it yet, but when it gets here, I always enjoy the gorgeous liquidamber trees when they change color (yes, our trees in CA change color, too! LOL) and high school football games on chilly nights.

Fall is my favourite time - the crispness in the air, the apple cider, Halloween, the pumpkins, the colours, the fact that even the trees dress up in their best to celebrate the best season of the year.

I have two favorite things about fall: First, Halloween, its one of my favorite holidays. Second would be cooler weather! Which wont happen until about Halloween since I live in Phoenix, AZ.

Pumpkins - I'm looking forward to pumpkins. They are my favorite color, I love that the whole family (grandparents included) goes to pick them out and then gathers in the front yard to carve them.

ScrappinNonna said...

I love everything there is about Fall! It's by far my favorite season. Our family loves going through the huge corn maze at a nearby pumpkin farm and carving a host of pumpkins for our porch. Funny thing with me is, I like to look out at the trees changing colors because it reminds me of a bowl of Trix cereal! The colors of Fall just make me feel so good!!

Thanks for offering those scrappy yummies! BTW, love your blog Lizzy!

Fall for me is the changing of the leaves, the chill in the air, the football games on TV, and walks in the park with my guys. :)

I am looking forward to actually being able to take my boys outside to play in managable weather and not have them eaten alive by mosquitos!! LOL...but I also look forward to all the fall holidays and that first fall cold front we have where you can actually stand outside and feel the cool air push away the hot air!! It's awesome!!!

My favorite is going to be having my 5 month old wear the same halloween costume that my almost 6 year old wore. I also can't wait to start cooking yummy food. For some reason stews, crock pot, and really good home cooking doesn't taste the same in the summer. Happy fall.

So ironic, I just used they same fabric to (attempt to) make my first fabric album. I am so looking forward to cooler weather, sweaters and jeans, fabulous fall colors, chili, picking pumpkins, fall campfires, and spending time with my family. I find so much scrapbooking inspiration from fall colors. Now I just need to start taking plenty of pictures so I can get scrapping.
Thanks, Amanda Guthrie

Fall....I'm not so sure. We left our "baby" at college. It has not been my husband and I for almost 22 years. I guess fall is going to be a time for us to get to know each other again. A time to talk. A time for us. We too have two beautiful daughters. I'm not sure what this next step of my life will be like......but hope that I will learn to like and enjoy it even though my girls are not here all the time. Time will tell.

cooler temps therefore longer time relaxing on the porch/outdoors, football games, color changes in the trees and in my wardrobe (smile).. Karen Loper

this Fall, I'm going to visit my family in Reunion Island (where i'm from). I haven't seen them in 18 months so it's going to be great. (of course it will summer there since it is in the other hemisphere and we only have 2 seasons in the tropics) but heck! That's my Fall anticipation.
Thanks for the giveaway. aloha, Sarah

I'm looking forward to taking our two children, ages 3 1/2 and 2, to our favorite pumpkin patch and having them stand next to the "how tall this fall" pumpkin display for an annual photo to see how they've grown since last year. They never really stand still enough to actually see how tall they really are, but that's the best part of the photo! We started taking the pics by the display since our son's first Halloween and it's something we hope to continue. And once that's done, I can't wait to scrapbook the photo(s)!

I am so looking forward to the cooler temperature so that I can go outside more and get more exercise and when I go to the gym with my gym partner I won't get heat exhaustion. In the last 8 months I have gone from 348 to 277 from going to the gym 3 times a week (no joke) and walking I am up to 20 blocks a day and I am anticipating more outside time not that it is cooler. Because of my health I had to take a look at my life and rethink what I was doing to myself and my 14 year old son. I am a single mom on Disability and the only parent for my son Mathew. I suffer from many ailments Fibromyalgia and Diabetes being the 2 top concerning ones. I want to be around to enjoy my grandchildren and be able to scrapbook them and make them Quilts as well... Sorry to be so long winded but I am excited when fall comes around because for me It's a "New Beginning" for me and my son Mathew.....

My favorite thing to do in the fall is go to a local Pumkin Farm. The family who owns the farm is deeply religious and all of the children work togther to care for their land and crops. The best part is they gave an adorable Pumpkin Train for the kids to ride around in and take them to a field to pick their very own pumpkins!

I'm looking forward to eating Honeycrisp apples (I just discovered them last year -- they are so tasty!) fresh from the orchard! And, I just got a dehydrator so I'm hoping to get a ton of dried apples for the next year. Is that really possible, though? My family eats a batch almost as soon as it's out of the dryer!

I'm looking forward to hearing the laughter of my newborn this fall.

You have a lovely blog and I like your pics off to the side!

My favorite part of fall is when the temperatures turn cooler- considering I live in Texas and I can't wait to have the hig be in the 70s instead of the low 100s. Really though, I love the crisper air, going on our annual pumpkin patch trip, high school football games, apple cider and getting out my fall decorations.

Love that shirt you made!

Not really looking forward to the "chill" that we don't get here in AZ, but hoping to at least throw on a pair of jeans before Christmas!
Pumpkin scented candles really "make" Fall for me!

Amy said...

Love the shirt! Thanks for always sharing your rockin ideas!
What is not to love about fall? Hard to pick one thing, but pumpkins has to be my top pick! Pumpkins on the front step, kids' construction paper pumpkins, going to the pumpkin patch and picking them off the vine,carving jack-o-lanterns... justlove them!

What do I love about fall? Really, do you want to get me started?!?

Fall is my favorite season! I love the feeling of warmth and coziness, the autumn leaves, apples, warm apple cider, the cooler weather, picking pumpkins, the warm decorating colors, candles, etc. etc. etc.

I'm looking forward to the colorful leaves falling from the trees - and laying down on them and shooting some beautiful photos. - Then run home, make a hot tea and make some beautiful scrapbook pages from them. :) And some falls later - looking at these pages with my kids...

I am anticipating my wedding, of course! 42 days and counting! :)

What a darling shirt!!

I am definitely anticipating the sound of the leaves rustling down the street. Something about the sound and the cool breeze welcoming fall to my doorstep!

No way! Look what happens 24 hours after I check! So I won't win, but I am so excited for fall this year. We moved from Canada in the middle of the summer to South Jordan Utah and we now have moved from two seasons to all four! I LOVE fall! The colors, the anticipation of upcoming holidays and family time, memories and pictures, scrapbooking.... The colors, smells, sights, and the nip in the air, but still great sunshiny weather! Happy Fall All!

i've waited 6 months for a scrapbooking retreat that is now only 3 weeks away. 3 days and nights with dear friends, a cabin on the lake and scrapbooking! i can hardly wait.

Holly said...

I'm looking forward to Halloween and dressing Damon up in something funny:) It's also fun to see what the kids come up with!

Ally's Corner said...

I love summer but I love the best about fall is that the kids dress up for Halloween. This year DH and I will dress up and join in the fun.

My twin 3 yr old girls start school so I am going to go get my Masters starting this fall :)

I love Fall because October holds the birthdays of my 3 favorite guys - my husband and my 2 boys who will be 8 and 6!

I love fall cooking-making soups, stews and all that good warm comfort type food. But I'm most looking forward to a crop in a few weeks-as a stay at home Mom with young kids I don't get much scrapbook time especially away from the house.

Cass said...

We are heading into Spring here. I'm looking forward to all the flowers coming out and all the pretty colours! :)

Really looking forward to cooler weather.....like a high of 90 instead of 115. Gotta love Phoenix summers. :)

Chelsea Van Tol said...

Ahh, fall. This year for me, I am not looking forward to any of the typical fall things like Halloween/Thanksgiving, the leaves etc. In the last year, I had a baby and moved across the country - almost coast to coast. I'm also getting married in exactly 3 weeks from today, in the place where I moved from. Needless to say, thi year has been a bit stressful for me.

So, I am looking forward to fall because it means no more HUGE life events to anticipate or prepare for. I can finally settle in, relax, and just enjoy my family and my wonderful new life.

I am really looking forward to the beautiful atmosphere, halloween, and my 4yr old getting dressed up to do her first ever "school halloween costume parade!" shes excited already!

I'm looking forward to being able to wear all those cute jackets I bought. It's still kinda warm here in Southern California so I'm still waiting to get the chance to wear my new "fall outfits". *wink*

This Fall I'm looking forward to Halloween with my kids... I love to help them figure out what they want to be and how to make that happen!

Anonymous said...

So many things to look forward to in fall...preschool starting again for Eli, MOPS group starting, a schedule again, the cool air, the beautiful colors, wearing sweaters...I really could go on and on. The only I don't look forward to is winter after fall. Not so fun here in Minnesota :)

In the southwest, it is about roasted green chilis (have you every smelled that...smells like fall to me) and pick'n raspberries in the mountians.

I'm anticipating a visit from my mama. I havent seen her in months and I cant wait to spend time together and catch up! We'll have good food, spend too much money and laugh together until our sides hurt.

kimberq said...

I am looking forward to the routines that fall brings,the celebrations, the colour orange,sunny weekend afternoons that are still warm enough to wear a tshirt, the damp smell of frost,our school bus driver, teachers, volunteering at the school and even having some quiet time for me...dare I say that?

Etta said...

Fall--temperatures that do NOT consist of THREE digits. (I live in Houston. And I hate grits.)

Great kit!

rachel b. said...

I'm looking forward to knitting. I tend to put knitting aside in the spring and summer. I'm also looking forward to campfires and brisk weather walks outside with my husband. Of course roasted pumpkin seeds and apple cider are in there too.

Kirsten said...

Thanksgiving, hands down. I love that holiday!

Grace said...

I am looking forward to going with my baby nieces pumpkin picking and hayrides and warm apple donughts and jumping in a big pile of leaves with them and just taking pictures of their huge smiles and then scrapping them. Hugs Grace

Fall. I'm looking forward to drinking espresson out on my porch in the perfect (just slightly crisp) fall morning. I live in New Mexico and fall is such a perfect season here...still warm. But gorgeous.

creativesomething said...

To me, fall means a new school year, catching up with old friends and making new ones, and learning what it means to grow up (I'm turning 20 in November). Oh, and baking and Turkey Day :-)

Megan Anne said...

Fall = Football, Friends, Food and Family! I love keeping track of (and attending) college football games. Go Bucks! ..Spending time with friends, as school will be starting again for me soon. Lots of good, hearty foods... squash, pumpkin pie, cranberries.. YUM! And lots of time with family! :)

I'm looking forward to a few starry nights where there is a little nip in the air so my fiance and I can sit nice and close by a campfire........

Only 6 more weeks of camping left and this one is a washout.......
Sigh......

I will be anticipating my first fall with my daughter - going to pick out a pumpkin and dressing her up in a cute costume and handing out candy to all the neighbourhood kids.

Melinda AKA medialady said...

Scrap Etc is wonderful!!! I live nearby and get to visit often!
Now to the other part of the comment . . . Fall is a time when it seems like all of my family comes back home. The vacations are over and its time for football games, comfy foods and family gatherings.

The cool weather and beautiful colors! And college football and playoff baseball (maybe this will be the cubs year!! ;) ~Mary S.
