October Mood Board

October usually ushers in the essence of fall—layered jackets, crackling fires, and haunted house adventures. Yet, it seems summer is lingering a bit longer, leaving us in a warm, sun-kissed limbo where fall has yet to fully reveal itself.

Despite this extended summer embrace, I find that the season is still sparking my creativity, albeit with a cozy autumn twist. This month’s mood board features a vibrant palette of brighter fall colors paired with softer textures, reflecting my yearning to dive into a quilt project soon.

One of my favorite color combinations—blue and yellow—shines brightly this month. These complementary hues bring joy and warmth to any space, reminding me of sunshine and cozy days ahead.

October’s mood board captures this unique blend of summer and fall: a summery yet cozy aesthetic. It acknowledges the gradual shift towards the rich browns and deep oranges of autumn while celebrating the freshness of the season with textures that invite comfort and creativity.

What projects are you inspired to embrace this month? How are you adapting to these delayed seasonal changes in your creative endeavors? Let’s celebrate the beauty of this in-between time together!
