Welcome to my stop on the tilda bumblebee blog hop today!........i was so happy to be asked to help showcase this beautiful new fabric :).............
......the
bumblebee collection is so soft and pretty with a light and airy feel.....there are sweet flowers, delicious colours and lovely little bees buzzing about...just perfect for spring...................
................i decided to make some flowers for a garland ....the picture above shows them in progress.......i love the effect of the different prints next to one another.......
..............the flowers are easy to make (there is a pattern in my book *pretty patchwork gifts*) and it is fun choosing buttons for the centres.....i used some vintage ones...........
.............the next project i made was this tumbler patchwork pillow............
.............the soft and pretty prints look so beautiful set against white........
.............this pretty pillow will be part of my spring interior design this year..........
..............every new collection from tilda is inspiring and fresh, yet works with the previous collections too.......below is a hexagon patchwork drawstring bag...............
...............perfect to store all kinds of things including small toys..............(the little hexagon bag and the tumbler patchwork pillow are both projects from my book *modern vintage gifts* if you would like to make them)....................
..............i used hexagons again in the pincushion below.............this has a little applique beehive in the centre as you can see, and i added one of my favourite bee buttons (by just another button company available at sew and so)............bees and beehives are favourite images of mine for drawing and designing..................i used a technique called tie quilting to quilt this pincushion and it is a very tactile little project.......
................last week i found some pretty tulips in the local greengrocer's shop........i thought they were perfect to complement my tilda bumblebee makes, especially arranged in this vintage vase................
................visit sew and so
here to see all the other great blogs taking part in the bumblebee blog hop and to order this gorgeous fabric...............
.................i have some patchwork pieces of the bumblebee collection to give away and some pieces of the previous collection (called candy bloom) too..........also included in my giveaway is a little hand stitched scissor keep and a pair of pretty dotty scissors.....to enter the giveaway just leave me a comment on this post........there will be one winner and it is open to everyone everywhere and you can enter it until sunday 22 january.........
............thank you for visiting me here dear readers and for all your kind new year wishes ..........wishing you all a happy week ahead with lots of crafty inspirations..........back soon xxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Helen such gorgeous projects and i love the fabric,hope your day is a good one.
Love your fabric choices and projects. I just made a sugar bunny from your book Pretty Patchwork gifts and some baby blocks. Posted it on my blog today!
Beautiful and inspiring! I have both your books and am determined that 2017 will be the year to really start some patchwork projects - this fabric looks lovely 🤗❤

I think spring must be on the way if your colours are anything to go by. Til da fabrics you can spot from a mile they are unique.
I've nearly finished your pot holder made out of hexagons from your lasted book.Next one is your little draw string bag which I'm going to use 1 inch hexagons and make a little bit bigger. I'm hexagons everything at the moment. Thanks for all the inspiration you give .
Have a lovely week.
These are truly gorgeous! You always make such beautiful things!!
They are beautiful fabrics. I have both your books mentioned and would love to make the tumbler cushion if I won the fabric.
The fabrics are beautiful and so are your projects.

Thanks for introducing these lovely fabrics. I love your beautiful projects. Thank you for the give away!
Such gorgeous fabrics and I personally love the mustard colour with the pinks, thanks also for a fab giveaway, fingers crossed : )
I'm envisioning pillowcases with tatted or crocheted trim made from the bumblebee collection. The fabrics are beautiful. Thanks, Vickie
It is so lovely of you to give us some prelude projects to Spring when the weather here at least is determined to demonstrate that it is indeed Winter! We are expecting some more snow tonight which I find happily exciting rather than tiresome and troubling...perhaps because I do not have to shovel it or drive in it :) At any rate, I love seeing your projects and appreciate your kindness in offering a chance to win something you have made, and which I would treasure. Both of your books you mentioned I have beside me and have made one project from each so far. I still have two Sugar Bunnies cut out and must get on with stitching them to life! xx
What fresh and pretty colours. The flower garland is such a good idea. I'm looking forward to more patchwork this year and your blog is always so happy and full of inspiration.
What a lovely bright cheery post to start off the New Year Helen. Your creations with the new Tilda fabric are really inspiring. You've shown us how many ways this pretty fabric can be used. Also your link to Sew and So was quite an eye opener. They have definitely revamped their webpage. It's so much more exciting and a fun place to visit.
Please add me to your giveaway.
Looking forward to visiting the other blogs for the hop.
Love the tulips by the way. Happy New Year.
I simply love everything Tilda, and everything you make, as well! Your blog is always such a bright and happy place to visit, Helen.
The Tilda lines are always gorgeous and I also love how they can all happily play together. Thank you for your beautiful blog :)
I love the sweet fabrics, love the colors & the tumbler pattern! Thank you for a chance to win!
You always have the best giveaways and this fabric is luscious! Enjoy your week! Happy sewing. Hugs, Diane
Helen,
What a sweet post. I love any Tilda fabric and your creations are just perfect for these prints. I especially love the tumbler patchwork pillow.
It would be amazing to win this giveaway.
Thank you for sharing once again.
Mickie, Indiana USA
Tilda fabric is new to me, and I like it very much. So soft and pretty, but also interesting with the bee design. The items you made are so pretty, I believe the toy bag is my favorite.

Hi Helen, I'm a new follower. I found your blog from a magazine from which I stitched one of your cross stitch designs.
Your work is beautiful and I'm in awe of the pictures.
Thank you for the chance to enter in this lovely giveaway.
Your work is beautiful! a lovely sample of Spring. The new Tilda range is delightful.
As allways, your work is just beautiful. Visiting your blog is like a fresh blow of spring.
Hi Helen
That is a pretty fabric collection. I'm a big fan of Tilda fabric. I have a few simple quilts at homemade from previous fabric collections. This one is quite different I would say. Very cute, spring like and fresh. Love your puffy flowers. I use those as pincushions. So simple and satisfying to make. Thank you for sharing.

This is such a pretty and sweet new Tilda line... love it and love the little bees.. and the bright spring-like colors. As I sit here in 2 feet of snow (not literally)....should say.. as I look out the window at 2 ft of snow here in central Oregon, I'm already looking forward to spring and need some bright and cheery fabrics to add to my stash! I love all the pretty sweet things you have made! Marilyn from Oregon
I love the new Tilda collection! It's as gorgeous as all Tilda fabrics are!

Hi Helen,
I love the new Tilda Bumblebee collection. I love all of Tilda's fabric and wish they were more readily available here in the USA. I also love seeing your fabric choices and what you choose to make with it. The garland is going to be adorable and I also love the pillow and pincushion. You are such an inspiration to me and I thank you for sharing what you do every week. I recently purchased your last book and look forward to making projects from it in the new year.
Thank you for sewing and sharing so many beautiful things. It did made my day warmer. Although I am unemployed and my father just got sacked, the slightest chance of winning some beautiful fabrics has brought hope to my day. Sewing is helping me to cope with the problems.
Oh my gosh if I don't win I'm going to have to order! Beautiful fabric perfect for springtime projects!!!
Thank you for the opportunity.
Cindy Bee
Never disappointed with a new Tilda range or your makes so together they are just perfection.
I have both of your books mentioned so if I were to win I would bee (sorry !) going straight to them to make something.
Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Mandyx
These are absolutely beautiful Helen, have cheered me up on this cold, dark winters day xxxxx
Oohhh I love bees and these prints are gorgeous x
Oh what a lovely giveaway :)
Wow what beautiful projects. They make you want to smile ☺
Very happy to have found this blog, would love to win!
What pretty fabrics! You certainly made very good use of them!
Oh Helen your give ways are so lovely! I feel greedy entering again but I just have to! I have had some good fun with your books that I have! I really look forward to your posts each week! Peta Cowan
Love, love, love it!
2017 is going to be my year of creativity....Can't believe this is the first time I've blogged and my first week of patchworking. I've started on a memory blanket for my 2 year old and already wanting to make a pincushion just like yours. Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to win your amazing giveaway so I won't be distracted in my first month. Either way think I'll be adding some of the material to my stash before my year of creativity is out, just love them!
These lovely fabrics together with your wonderful talent. Wow.

Helen, you've been so creative with this fabric! Your posts are always a pleasure to read, thank you for that.
I love it when there is a new post from you Helen, as they are always so cheerful, bright and creative. Yet again you have made lovely things that make my fingers itch to sew something, thank you.
Sally M
Always been a big Tilda fan, but the last collections weren't my cup of tea at all... the colour combinations and some prints...I can't say I like the direction the designer is going in... But still I appreciate the quality of them and a few prints I do like - those with light background and no or little mustard....because along with orange it's least suitable for patchwork....ehh
Lovely projects and i now want to copy them all!
Such lovely pincushions! I like all the spring colors in your projects.
nikilsend(at)outlook(dot)com
I love seeing your blog post arrive in my inbox. Just always so bright and happ! Someday I have to try to make a pincushion. Yours are so pretty. It is always spring on your blog.
Greetings, Helen!
Love your blog posts every other week with your happy words and pictures. Such a bright burst of sunshine to look forward to! Patchwork, needlework and flowers...thanks so much for bringing them into my home and inspiring me to keep busy.
This fabric is just the sweetest and I can tell how much fun you had creating with it! Lucky you! Even the scraps would be a treasure.
We've just come back from holiday and your post was waiting for me to read. It's so nice to see such pretty colours and fabrics pop up on the screen when we're in the depths of a grey winter :)
Thank you for sharing all your makes here!
