October Days

Hello everyone....it's a cosy october evening here in my little bit of the uk and i'm bringing you some cosy pictures....
.........little cross stitched toadstools made into pincushions using linen and festive belle and boo fabrics....
.........and lots of dottie drawstring bags (pattern in my etsy shop link in sidebar)........
......the belle and boo fabrics were gifted to me and they are perfect for these cute little gift bags.....
........either using the whole fabric or just an appliqué patch.......
...........such sweet designs just perfect for children's gifts and very useful too.......
.........love the nutcracker collection........
...........this week's quilt stack is a very cosy one......and below are some pretty little mushrooms we found in the nearby woods......
........still flowering by the back door in our garden.......beautiful clematis......
..........and a pot full of winter violas looking bright and sweet too......
..........and finally a peek at my newest quilt called october stars.....this is being hand quilted and might even be finished for halloween.......

 .........thank you for dropping by to see me here dear readers and for leaving me such kind comments.....wishing you a happy cosy week with lots of crafty inspirations.....keep safe lovelies.....back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So sweet.
It is chilly here in Northern Virginia. I believe the coolest October we have ever had. Your little pouches are absolutely precious. Now I want to make a few

Lovely little pincushions and the drawstring bags are very sweet too.
The violas are always so cheerful and brighten any corner don't they :)
