Beautiful things as ever. Sadly, your Etsy link doesnt work.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has certainly been a mixed bag. I wonder what March holds for us.
ReplyDeleteYour makes are very eye catching.
Good luck with your Etsy shop.
Lovely box and pin cushions
ReplyDeleteIts hard to believe spring is almost here in Vermont after a few more snow storms.
It's such a change in the weather isn't it Helen. Lovely photos I love those wax flowers! How exciting about your Etsy shop...I am sure it will be a huge success for you. Keep snug, hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post this month , I shall be buying the Mag next week for sure .
ReplyDeleteI will also pop over to Etsy shop.
Do you hand stitch all quilts or use the machine ?
I think I will try one of your pin cushions soon it may be my first step to quilting .
Helen,
ReplyDeleteSo many sweet projects in this post that I am not sure which is my favorite, but I am always partial to quilts. Your flower applique quilt is another winner, love those little flowers in the border. Your square flower pincushions are adorable, too. I must get back to cross stitching this year, the cross stitch box is inspiring me.
Another frigid winter day here, but the sun is shining which makes it bearable. So ready for spring. Should I knit, crochet, sew or read this afternoon? So many possibilities, I don't understand people who say they get bored, do you?
Thank you for sharing.
Love your handmade, as always!
ReplyDeleteYour new shop is very pretty and I know will be very popular!!
ReplyDeleteThose little wax flowers are very pretty as is your quilt and gorgeous little pincushions!!
Wishing you a happy new week Helen, not as sunny a start as last week sadly,

Such pretty goodies, Helen! Congratulations on the new etsy shop! I loved seeing your lovely, smiling face on there, too!
ReplyDeleteHelen I looked at your Etsy shop and everything is so pretty in your chosen fabrics. I didn’t see the dimensions of the sugar bunny listed. Is it the same as the one in your book, Pretty Patchwork Gifts, which I have made?
ReplyDeleteIt's all so very pretty and cheering! Lots of snow here still and no bits of sunshine yet. I'm (patiently?) waiting?? How fun to open your Etsy shop. I went and took a look... the link worked fine for me... and love the patterns you have so far. I have two of you books, but it's always fun to find more patterns and ideas of things I want to make! I do love the little cross stitch pillow with the horse on it.. I may have to try that one! I've never done counted cross stitch, just stamped cross stitch which I liked. It was also nice to see your smiling face at your Etsy shop! Happy week.. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteI got to your Etsy shop just fine and it's beautiful.. and your prices are so reasonable! I am tempted to get a bunny pattern.. can I hand sew it all or do I have to use a sewing machine? As always, I enjoyed each and every photo on your blog post. You have the eye of a glossy magazine photographer!! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, as always, Helen. How great that you've begun an Etsy shop! I'll pop over there to take a look!
ReplyDeleteI love all of the photos that you have shared here. Your quilts are always very inspiring. The cross stitch project looks beautiful
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes with your Etsy shop Helen. Your designs are top quality so I am sure you will do brilliantly. Jo xx
ReplyDeleteHello Helen! Everything you make is so exquisite and your blog posts are always beautiful too! Hope you are having a lovely weekend! Christine x
