I had made this "breadboard" to sell and I am really glad it didn't.  I always liked it and it now has found its home...a place in my kitchen.   I think it was supposed to be mine all along.

 I used a woodburning tool and "freehanded" the willow tree.  My first time with the woodburning tool.  Was fun!!!

A fall Wool Applique Piece in progress

My Wool selection for this fall project

I am using a free pattern from"Create and Decorate" magazine.  In fact it is a very old one, I think.  Just using pieces of the pattern.  Only the pumpkins are sewn down so far.  I decided to add the penny pieces to the sides.  Still fiddling with the colors of them.  At first I was going to make a pillow, but I ended up adding the pennys to the side, so no pillow now, but will make a mat.  Finished picture will be next..I appreciate all comments!!

Smiles and hugs to all!
