It's just about time for the 2026 Stay at Home Round Robin to start, and I've been getting ready for it. During the SAHRR for the last three years, I've used embroidered blocks as my center block and created a seasonal wall-hanging to display at different times of the year. So far I've made winter, spring, and summer.
So, of course, this year I need to make a fall-themed wall-hanging to complete the series. Last fall I specifically stitched this block with the 2026 SAHRR in mind. I've been thinking about fabrics to pair with it, and pulled out a bunch of Batik fat quarters that I won in the prize drawing from last year's QAL. Now I'm getting excited to get started!
Meanwhile, I've continued to work with my blue scraps to piece together a light blue placemat sized piece. The light blues that I pulled out of the bin had some triangles in them, so that became a theme in this one.
And now it has progressed to two crumb slabs that are wide enough and when sewn together will be the perfect size for a scrappy placemat!
I had a couple bigger pieces of the seagull print,
and I love them so much I just decided to leave them a bit bigger.
My next step will be to quilt these two placements and work on finishing them up before the end of the month!

Great start to SAHRR! I'm having second thoughts about my starter block....
Yu've chosen great fabrics to accent your pretty fall embroidery for the SAHRR! I'm impressed with your crumb blocks turning into a placemat! Well done!
You had a very intentional plan for 2026 SAHRR back in the fall. The center block is so pretty and those batiks are going to work well with it. Your scrappy slab blocks are going to make a nice placemats, too.
Perfect projects for cold days. The fall stitchery for the center is just perfect, so cute.
Such a pretty bevy of Fall=ish batiks you've chosen for the SAHRR!!
I love that embroidered block--really nice work...hugs, Julierose
What a pretty block to start your SAHRR! I love the fabrics you've selected. Those crumb blocks are nice, I've always loved your "slabs". :)
You picked a great center block for this year's SAHRR. Your fabric choices are going to look really good with it. Now we just have to wait for the first prompt.
