I thought I'd share some of the apple inspired creations that I've decorated the house with this month...
This is a little painting on a wood plaque that I did some years back during my painting phase...
I didn't get to experience the pleasant delights of an orchard in person this year, but at least this finish helps to remind me of the joy of it.
A wool applique finish celebrating apple season and the harvest moon.
This is the piece that I was stitching on September 11, 2001. I finished it a few days later during one of my youngest son's many hospitalizations for asthma. I bring it out each September in remembrance.
Finally, one of my favorite finishes of all time - Johnny Appleseed by Prairie Schooler. I simply love this piece.
Hope you are enjoying some delicious apples as well.

Most people bring out the pumpkin items, I like the idea of decorating with the apple theme in the fall. I haven't been to an orchard yet, but soon...

We have some beautiful orchards 'round here and I haven't made it there either. Love your apple themed pics and the Johnny Appleseed is a favorite!
ReplyDeleteGreat apple finishes! So sorry you didn't make it to the orchard. We are headed to one in a week for Cub Scouts. I'm sure the boys will have a GREAT time... especially when the fresh cider is served. ;)

Love everything!
ReplyDeleteLove your fall pieces - Johnny Appleseed is a great design. Our apples are in now and I hope to make a visit to the cider mill tomorrow. Nothing like it in the world with a warm donut!
ReplyDeleteYou have some nice autumn decor. It is all quite lovely. I especially like the painting. You are a very good painter!
ReplyDeleteDuring your painting phase....girl if I could paint like that...I'D PAINT :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
And I love all your wool applique and your stitching...LOVELY!
Johnny Appleseed, I have him and I've always loved him, never stitched him and I bet he's fabulous in person...Maybe I need to pull that chart out!
