Hi all :) Its been another week of Autumn themed makes for me, part of me feels like i should be getting a head start on Christmassy things but i love Autumn too much to give it up just yet!
This week's offerings are some seasonal bunting and a little something for Thanksgiving, as always i look forward to your comments :)
Autumn Bunting
I used some of the fabrics from my Autumn Naturally collection (available to buy from Spoonflower) to create a couple of sets of Autumnal bunting.
The first features falling leaves and polka-dots in lovely warm colours.

The second set features my squirrels, and hazelnuts designs as well as a nutty coloured polka-dot.
I decided to make the flags single sided, they just have enough of a fold over at the back to accommodate the rustic twine hanging string and have a line of stitching around the edges to prevent excess fraying.
They are the perfect length for decorating something like a mantlepiece, bookcase or dresser where the reverse side will never be on show and using less fabric means i can sell them at a more affordable price - they are £9 each and available now from my website and Etsy shop.
Give Thanks Sign
Thanksgiving is a big deal over in the USA and Canada but i think that the sentiment of harvest celebration is far more widespread, certainly among countryside communities, so i'm hoping this 'Give Thanks' sign will have universal appeal.
Do you celebrate harvest time in your house/school/church?

I've stitched the applique letters on to a central rustic panel. The reverse side of the sign is organic cotton and the edges are neatly finished with top stitching.
It hangs from a bamboo stick with rustic twine and is available now from my website and Etsy shop priced £13.99.
That's all from me for another week!
In wine making news, we have now finished the strawberry... I did manage to get a pic before it all disappeared though!
Thinking of getting some blackberry on the go this week :)
