Cosy Autumn

Hello dear readers........back today with some warm and cosy autumn pictures......beginning with my autumn coloured irish chain quilt......
............candles, berries and toadstool decorations on the mantle in this room.......
.......i love all my irish chain quilts (pattern is in my etsy shop link in sidebar) but this is one of my favourites with it's warm and cosy autumn colours....i made it using left over jellyroll scraps......
..........this year autumn seems especially beautiful and i appreciate the cosy times as well as the bright days.....
...........although we use quilts all year round now they are really needed.........
..........the fabric pumpkins are all appearing too as the house leaves summer behind and autumn decor arrives.........
...........we had a lovely day out to dunham massey and saw the gardens in their autumn glory.....
.........and with some of the apples in my last post i made this delicious apple cake.....it's a dorset apple cake (recipe found online) and i swapped the raisins for cranberries.......it was yummy......
.....the bottom of our garden is like a mushroom farm at the moment.......so many perfect white mushrooms growing there....
........and while i was busy photographing them and looking at the ground, this was happening up above....hubby called me to look up and there was a huge skein of geese flying over our garden....such a magical sight......
........small autumn joys, small seasonal pleasures are things which have always made me happy and inspired......cosy times, quilts, flowers and berries, finding conkers and acorns, pretty coloured leaves and always looking out for those red spotted toadstools too of course........

 ......thank you for visiting me here dear readers and for your kind comments......hoping you are having happy autumn days and finding joy in the little things too.......take care lovelies........love and peace.......back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Beautiful autumn images, Helen. It's slowly arriving here, too, and those skeins of geese fill our skies occasionally. Such a lovely Irish Chain quilt in autumnal tones. Enjoy this season.

Beautiful autumnal post. I enjoyed your photos very much. That is a lovely quilt as well. Geese in skeins passed over my house today too here outside Ottawa, Canada.

Pretty autumn photos and quilts. Love the colors in your Irish Chain Quilt! The autumn colors and flowers have been extra lovely here in North Carolina.
