I'm feeling that end of the summer pull... to eek out every bit of productivity, to pick and eat some peaches, to complete things begun, to clean the refrigerator (no idea where that particular pull came from, but it happened!), to acknowledge that I actually do work and will need to return to it (not so pleasant!), and today to gather some fallish prints and begin a new little quilt project. That pull to start a new little project came from the inspiration and beautiful orange hues I'm seeing everywhere lately. Not from those famous New England leaves... yet... but from our very first peaches from trees planted two years ago...
... these little lovelies survived the squirrels and not so perfect light up on the hill in our backyard... we're thrilled...
... and these lovely heirloom carrots picked up at the farmer's market last weekend are beautiful...
So here's the plan... I'm still loving half square triangles and am going to make a zig-zag quilt. Something a little smaller than what I'm finishing right now... funny how that happens, isn't it! The grays, golds, oranges and neutrals are a little reminder that these summer days... though wonderful yet fleeting... are to be enjoyed and savored. The new season is on its way... the pull can't be avoided (much like the refrigerator for that matter) and better to celebrate the newness savoring this moment. Happy Monday!
