The weather is beautiful at the moment, long may it last. I love cornflower blue, its so rich. I love the Lucy Boston quilts, I am making one myself. I loved reading her books as a child.

Thanks for a lovely look into you beautiful garden.
Your projects are amazing asusual and I want to do all of them.
The last week has been amazing for the garden!! It's such a joy to eat outside in the UK I think, it doesn't happen very often unfortunately!!
Your garden is looking lovely and I have to say I think I would really like Treacle Market....I LOVE your bucket and your flowers look so pretty in it!
Enjoy your little break, I'm sure you'll be adding to those beautiful blocks! :)

The suns been a bit more hit and miss here in East Yorkshire. I do love the blue of your cornflowers, no wonder they inspired you xx
Helen,
Beautiful post! I love cornflowers or as we call them bachelor buttons. I had some a few years ago and would love to have them again, the beautiful blue is my favorite. Loving that color in your new quilt block.
I agree red geraniums would look so pretty in your "new" blue bucket, as I am partial to red geraniums; but your cut flowers look very pretty in it too.
I am looking forward to seeing how you finish your new EPP quilt, it will be another beauty I am sure.
Thank you for sharing.

Hello Helen! That new quilt pattern is so unusual.. I can't wait to see more squares together. The robin's egg blue bucket is quite the score and looks wonderful with the garden blooms in it. Say, the photos on your blog are kind of small.. did you know when you're creating a post that you can click on the image and select "X-Large" and it will make your photo bigger. The pictures are so pretty it would be good to see them bigger. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
It was so fun to see your garden Helen! The blue flowers, simply gorgeous. They are a rarity in the flower world.
I do love the blue pail. I have something similar, light blue with white stripes (or the other way around!). I keep a flowering plant in it during the summer. I keep the plant in its original plastic container with a saucer so the pail doesn't rust.
Sending all the best for a wonderful summer, dear friend! :)

I always love reading you posts, they are so full of prettiness and inspiration. x
Beautiful post Helen and I love cornflower blue too! Such a vibrant colour! Hope you have a lovely break. Look forward to seeing your photographs on your return! Christine x
Love seeing all of your beautiful pics - and so many delicious flowers. Love your pieced block and cushion, and the cute pail you bought - beautiful colour. Enjoy your week and the holiday you will be taking!
Blue is my favourite colour Helen and cornflower blue is pretty perfect in my books.Your flowers are so pretty and I love the sweet bee project..it's just delightful xxx
I would find it difficult to make a quilt without blue in it, as it's my favourite colour. Not that I've made many quilts! Your garden is such a pretty place.
Enjoy your getaway.
That bucket would have come home with me too! I am all out of cornflowers in the garden and your post has reminded me how much I love them. I love that quilt block with white, very eye catching. Jo x
Molto bello il tuo giardino, i fiori e tutto ciò che cucisci. Buona estate di fotografie.
Lots of beautiful eye candy in this post! Love the new quilt design!
Your makes always look so beautiful in your garden, it must be a wonderful source of inspiration. I'm not going to compliment you on the beautiful fabrics because I always do :-)

Oh wow -- that little epp block is just beautiful! I love the colors -- that blue! I sure wish you were here to give me a foxglove lesson. I don't know anything about them. I planted one last year and it said it's a biennial -- so I know it won't bloom this year, but will I see any greenery at all? If I see nothing is it dead, or is it just doing it's biennial thing and it will appear next year? And if that's the case, how will I know it from a weed? Questions, I have questions LOL!
Sounds that you had a wonderful vacation. The place were you stayed looks beautiful surrounded with colorful flowers! Beautiful path way to have a walk:)
