For August, I'm thinking of using the panel left from my 'in the house' August hanging:
(maybe some of the men would like them)

Then I got to thinking, I didn't design these, I don't feel right making him more for money (the first one, to me, was kind of like something you buy at a garage sale, secondhand)
So I made 2 more, and figured if he made the check out to a charity, I could sleep at night. Wouldn't you know, I have the wreaths, complete with the wood slat, but I can't find the email addy anywhere!
lesson: careful if you hang something on your door, you may get talked into selling it!
This goes up in Dec:

It's just 4 maple leaves, and I bought the stencil for the quilting either at Joanns or Hancock's

I have a spot on the back porch that I really couldn't hand anything quilty. It gets direct morning sun, and I know it wouldn't last more than a year
