Fall in the mountains is just breathtaking. It has been several years since we were able to be at our mountainside cabin in western North Carolina at the peak of the color season. This year, again, the calendar is not working for us so it is unlikely that we will be able to get up here when the leaves are most brilliant. So we are enjoying this week in the early fall and I’ve brought along a few things to celebrate Mother Nature’s big show.
I love decorating the cabin for the different seasons. This pillow was embroidered before we left home and stitched into a pillow up here while I had a few quiet moments. The embroidery design is from Anita Goodesign’s Vintage Autumn Sampler collection.
The pillow fabric is a dishtowel, one of the Vintage Gingham Trim Towels from All About Blanks. These are fabulous towels to have on hand to embroider “as is” for a instant hostess gift or to make into one of these quick and easy pillows for your own home. The pastel and plaid hems are very contemporary and appealing.
The buttons were added just for interest. I raided my old button boxes and came up with anvariety of brown and fall colored buttons. I enjoy fingering them and wondering whose shirt or jacket they came from.
My dear husband took a nap on the couch and rejected the pillow right away. It seems those buttons give the loud and clear message that this is for decoration only.
