Fall 2024

Fall brings blessed relief from the heat to Magnolia Greene's fields and woodlands. 

In this issue, we're celebrating the many beauties of fall, including the airing of treasured quilts at Gee's Bend in Alabama. With Halloween soon to come, we see how expert pumpkin carver Jaimie Houser crafts pumpkins for Dollywood. 

Chef Ford Fry tells us about his restaurant empire and favorite  Thanksgiving recipes. Laurie Byrne sets a perfect fall table. Michelle Mize of Sun Cookery shared her spirit of Southern hospitality with Carolina style. Two publishing dynamos of the Southern Coterie empower women in business through a unique collective. 

We rabbit hunt with a pack of beagles and troll Lake Pontchartrain with a Louisiana crabber. We talk to Arkansas artist Pat Mathews and take a look at the popularity of croquet with players from North Carolina and Alabama. And we feel the soul in the spirit of a New Orleans songbird, whom the Crescent City's lively culture has shaped.
