Thank you so much, April! Your beautiful handmade pumpkin pincushion and fat quarters arrived-- just last week, my daughter turned 7 which was just old enough to start taking sewing classes at fashion camp. Ever since she got back from her first lesson, our sweet machine has been working overtime punching holes in tracing practice worksheets and your gifts will be put to good use!
Mama Hen, Debbie F., I love this Susan Branch book! I can't wait to make myself a cozy tea and pore over the beautiful lettering, art, and ideas. Did you pick a dark colored dishcloth because you know how hopeless I am with lifting stains off lighter fabric? Hehe.
You both are on the top of your game with beautiful bookmarks, cards and festive wrapping paper. I am so inspired. Thank you! Thank you!

So happy the pin cushion will be put to good use! Perfect timing, then, too! Hope your daughter loves being a seamstress - post some pictures of her creations when she gets them done, would love to admire! Have a wonderful month!

Will do, April. So far, she has made a jack 'o lantern pillow lumbar support and a bejeweled purple candy corn purse. Happy fall, y'all!

Your care package arrived, Mary Jane! As you can see, Rho is very interested in sampling backpacking rations but I have heard they are so good I may forget to share. I can't wait to try some of these copycat candy recipes in the issue of MJF, what a great idea and such great timing. Dabbing tears of joy with this beautiful hankie. Thank you!

What a treat to find these treasures on my doorstep!
I love the cow goodies, Heather! Did you really crochet this?! It is so beautiful. The tallow soap smells awesome and I had just been looking for Thieves essential oil recipes, just in time to ward off cold/flu season (as are these super portable lip balms). I love that you knew the steer who contributed. Fallon loves the cow "clutter" and has started a little pasture for the herd under the tomato volunteer forest that sprouted around her fairy house.

Wow, Denise! Is this what y'all mean by "junk journals?" I love it! They are gorgeous! How did you get the color palette and textures to be so harmonious in our favorite colors and yet every page is a little different and surprising? Fallon and I both love the 3 string tie. We are going to make short work of filling in the "blessings" note pages you tucked in. This is going front and center on our coffee table for this and hopefully many autumns to come. Wonderful!
My reign is coming to an end, but I will circle back on Halloween to nominate a November queen!

Happy Halloween! The rain is starting to green things up in SoCal, but not nearly to the extent of the beautiful wildflowers on the card Debbie K. sent my way. Incredible. Thank you for the amazing month, sisters, I have never felt more welcomed!
If I understand the tradition correctly, I nominate a Farm Girl of the Month for November?
This wasn't an easy decision with so many rays of sunshine on this chat. Hopefully everyone will get a turn in the coming months.
With that said, Karen Martell (Jokamartell) would be perfect Farmgirl to reign in November. She always has such encouraging contributions that are a delight to read and her signature line always makes me chuckle. Since Thanksgiving is one of her favorite holidays, let's give thanks for her!
