October brings falling leaves and a nip in the air. Later in
the month there will scary munchkins running around. I look forward to carving pumpkins at my Sister's house, being around friends, and ea ng chili her husband makes! It is always a great me! I hope you all have some li le tradi on you can enjoy in October!
The fabric even gets into the mood with beau ful fall colors. It's always fun to make something for fall. Or as I do, start something every fall! I hope there is a lot of "Show N Tell" this month with the fall colors. It's ge ng colder and s ll raining. I think I saw an orca in the new pond in our neighbor's back yard! Although, now that I think of it, I'd rather have the water then the same amount in snow! The average snow fall for 1 inch of rain = 13 inches of snow. That will come soon enough. I hope every‐one has a wonderful Fall season. See you all in a couple of weeks! ‐
