Farmers Market at the Farm!

I got this line of fabric (Farmers Market by Sandi Henderson) from a fabric coop...I'd been waiting for it FOR-EVAH!! I love it, it looks awesome and is perfect for fall :D Mom says it looks like the soybean field...which is a good thing :) This was my first go at a redondo and it wasn't at all as bad as I'd feared...went together pretty quickly, though the hem takes quite a bit of time! Just about 5 yards of hemline in this baby!! Sorry the vertical pics are on the small side...

All laid out, so you can see the full radius on this thing!:

My lovely tag!

And a close-up of the hem...I used picot edged elastic to finish...I thought about a rolled hem, but my rolled hem foot doesn't work so well with wovens at it would have been a bigger pain to fool around with that than it was to attach the edging (plus, this gives the hem a little weight):

We had our first apple treat last night!! Apple dumplings...they were good! A bit rich we all agreed, but I'd definitely try the recipe again-cutting down the butter/sugar/dew mixture by 1/2.

Ahh...I love fall :D Hope it's a long one!
