There's just something about a big pile of pumpkins that says "fall"... even when it's 80 degrees. Clockwise from the upper-left... Pink Pumpkins - Red Warty Things Mix -...

Lisa Bongean . Primitive Gatherings. She loves mini quilts. This is the collection of mini quilts that graces one of the walls in Lisa's studio. Seriously.
