Another very pretty post of your latest makes. I've often wondered where you purchased your fabrics , they are always very summery and showcase your various makes so well. Until the next until the next time ... Joan
You do indeed find the most delicious fabrics!
So much loveliness! I love how the elephant is in the middle of your pincushion, they reallyaregorgeoub fabrics and the little felt balls are such a pretty add on to your lovely bag xx
My youngest adult daughter, Elisabeth, would especially appreciate the pincushion you made since she has collected little elephant themed books and crafts. Once more your gathering of colors mingled with or displayed on white delights and instructs me...and inspires me to craft! Thank you for sharing your creativity and some sweet family moments, too. Wishing you happy days until we visit again. XXXXXXXX
I love your pretty bag Helen, the colours are wonderful......so useful too. :)
It's so nice that little granddaughter dresses up your dollies and bunnies, I think I'd like to play with them too.
Lots of lovely blooms as well!
Have a lovely week, so good to feel the sunshine,

Your posts are always so delightful and inspiring. I don't comment often but I do read and take in all the beauty.

What a lovely read the photos are beautiful. It so nice to see what you are making. The flowers go so well with your fabric.
I know I mention this all the time, but your talent is amazing! That's a gorgeous bouquet from your garden as well, you are a woman of MANY talents!
Gorgeous flowers! The bags are cute.
I use draw string bags for extra thick socks that crowd the sock drawer.
I drool over your fabrics - such pretty, pretty choices. Your makes are all lovely. And the bouquet equally so.
Hi Helen! So much beautiful summer feeling! Your sweet doll brings me lovely memories about sewing with my mom and godmother clothes for my dolls. Have a lovely day! x Teje
The little doll is so precious. (a little birdie told me I might be getting one of your books for Mother's day! I sure hope so...I'll let you know!) Hugs, Diane
I keep telling myself I'll try a little sewing project but still haven't. Your creations are always so pretty. I love the flowers, too, Helen! My late friend, years ago, went back to England one spring to visit some of his siblings; he wanted to be there while the bluebells filled the woods.
Enjoy the rest of your week.

Another wonderful post....such pretty colours, fabrics and flowers!
What a pretty bag.. I know you'll enjoy carrying a project around with you with such a pretty pouch. What a gorgeous bouquet too.. it's extra special because the flowers are from your garden. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Helen,
Beautiful pictures, beautiful colors, and beautiful makes! I love every one of the fabrics you choose for your projects and every project is always a winner! I would love to wander through your sweet garden, it must be glorious in the spring time.
Thank you for sharing.

Love the circus fabric and the project bag not only looks pretty is very practical. Nice to see the bluebells in the garden at this time of the year.
I know what you mean about cutting into fat quarters, but you give me courage to do so! Such lovely things you create!
Your blog is a color feast!
I'd like to follow you on Instagram! My user name is kmaston.
Happy weekend, Helen!
Back to say I just ordered three of your books on Amazon. I decided that my sewing machine would love a busy run of cuteness. Yay!
Love this little pincushion, Helen!
Your photos are drool-worthy! Gorgeous gorgeous fabrics and projects. xo
