This was the card I made to send to Isa in France for the September Card Chain Challenge that Deborah hosts each month. I also included an ATC for her, using the same 2 pumpkins from the card:
The background is a photograph of a quilt that is on my kitchen table during this season. Here is a picture of it, taken last fall. The quilt block is called "maple leaf" and I wanted to make a quilt that shows my love of the colors of autumn and the brilliant blue skies that we still have at this time of year.
To see the card that I received from Betty in the card chain, see this blog entry.
Lin, your card is adorable! Such a wonderful scene packed full of autumn goodness! Your ATC is wonderful too, I love that you used a photo of your quilt for the background! Love, love, love your autumn quilt! Today one of my friends was showing me a double wedding ring quilt she is making so between the two of you my fingers are itching to make something!

So pretty cards, Lin! The background of the ATC was a pic! But that was from a real quilt made by yourself! Love the colorful maple leaf pattern! And the quilted line is very beautiful! :)
