Sewing Days

 Happy new week dear readers......i'm a little late here this week as i've been very busy in my sewing room..........so many things to do at the moment i've been a busy bee.....

 ...........the weather has been incredibly cold and rainy here for june...........

 ............so staying indoors and sewing has been easier than usual at this time of year when the garden calls me....

 ..............i love this pretty jelly roll of bluebirds on roses fabrics by elea lutz for penny rose fabrics....

 ..........such a shame to unfurl it and cut up the fabrics but it had to be done........

 ...........i have several projects planned for these sweet fabrics but first i made some quick pincushions.............my littlest grandsons were staying here last weekend and they left some colourful blocks on my table after building towers.....i thought they looked nice with my new fabrics....

 ........in between rain showers and blustery winds i have of course been out in my cottage garden, even managing a few quilts in the garden pictures.............

 ..........the current work in progress quilt below is my little plums quilt which is a companion to my little apples quilt (seen above on the picket fence...pattern in my etsy shop)........the spools were new to me vintage ones sent to me by a kind friend to add to my collection...............

 ...............love these soft colours and fussy cutting the tilda fabrics to make the plums and leaves....

 ............below is a little garden view of our new table on the patio where we had coffee one day just before the rain began to fall continually............my eldest daughter gave me the pink peonies as she adores them and thought i needed some too x.............

 ............regular readers might remember the blue and white penmon point quilt i made last year....i love blue and white quilts in the garden...........soon i'll be away on holiday but someone will be looking after the garden for me................i'll be taking a blog and facebook break next week but back as usual the week after.......

.............thank you so much for dropping in here lovely readers and for leaving me such kind comments.........wishing you all a happy crafty sunny time...........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
