Happy October Helen!
Cushions to big size sofa pillows will be a cheer me up for the winter.
Your September looked to be a lovely month. Happy October days now! Your new garden patch will be so pretty. It's always a pleasure to visit your blog.
You make my heart sing. Happy October!
Wonderful colors, and wonderful creativity! Happy October to You too from Cathrine in Norway!
Your pretty picket fence really makes a focal point.
Can't wait to see what you plant there next year.
Your quilts are always stunning especially photographed outside.
It certainly time to make more pumpkins to add to the collection.
Happy October Helen.
Hello Helen. I hope you plant some foxgloves in your cottage garden, they are my favourite.
Thank you for your lovely blog, I enjoy your posts so much and they always brighten my day.
Best wishes from Australia where we are finally getting some spring sunshine!
I hope you plant plenty of Cosmos in parts of your cottage garden, Helen. I had a wonderful patch of it when we lived in upstate NY, and for some reason, it prompted me to feel joy each time I looked at it. Mr. P has done a wonderful job with the fence thus far and it will be a delight to see all the flowers that are hugged by it. Thanks for another inspiring post...I so admire all the stitching you complete! Happy October to you and yours as well! xx
Ohhh.. what a wonderful husband you have! I adore the picket fence around your cottage garden to be! I look forward to seeing how it looks after you've got it all planted and growing this next Spring and Summer. You really have a fairy tale life, Helen. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
I thought those fruits look familiar. We call them Cape gooseberries here in NZ. The picket fence looks darling. I can't wait till it is all planted out. Perfect!
What a beautiful post Helen! Just love your picket fence and your beautiful quilts and cushions always make me feel cheerful! Hope you have a wonderful week! Christine xx
Lovely post and pictures again, Helen :)! Love all your pretty flowers and wonderful crafts. Those pillows especially look so cozy - the patchwork on them just 'speaks' of home. Enjoy your beautiful Fall season. We are enjoying our coloured leaves and rain - yes, rain :) - we transplanted two good sized spruce trees, and are so thankful, that we are getting lovely soaking rain for them.
Another wonderful post with beautiful pictures! Love your crafty makes....those fabrics look scrumptious!
Happy autumn!
Everyone needs a white picket fence! Yours is lovely... and I agree, Foxgloves are a must! We had a huge hillside of them when we lived in SW Washington state, but now in central Oregon, they don't seem to want to grow. Too hot and dry here I think. I love Lupine too. Every quilt needs a white picket fence to lay upon............ love your cheery colors of reds and deep pinks.. they really make me smile. Your posts just make me pure happy! Fall is appearing here too and I'm loving the changing of the leaves..... hugs to you for a good week. Marilyn
Helen,
Such a happy cheerful post full of lovely flowers and quilts. I love the way your carousel quilt is coming along. I'm looking forward to seeing what plants you choose for your new cottage garden. I always love cosmos and delphinium, and of course lavender. The picket fence will be the perfect backdrop for all your plantings.
Thank you for sharing.

Oh Helen, I'm so excited about your cottage garden, it's going to be wonderful ... delphiniums, foxgloves, larkspur, lupins, hollyhocks, sunflowers, tall flowers are my favourites! :)
So much gorgeous quiltiness too!
Happy October my dear,
