Spring and Snow

Hello lovelies and welcome to my blog on this bright but snow covered day in my little corner of the uk.....
.....we need all our quilts today.......and after spring time coming along so nicely over the past couple of weeks suddenly we are having a cold snap and winter's back......
........but never mind....the sugar bunnies, like lettuce here, have put their cardies on and are enjoying some carrot cakes.......and we are making lots of spring decorations, like fabric carrots.....
.....and cross stitched seed packets.......(all patterns in my etsy shop link in sidebar).....
.....we even have a new poppy seed packet design today to brighten up the snow day....
.......below is my new rainbow quilt made from tilda scraps.....
.....it was fun to make and the lovely longarm machine quilting was done by scrapbox quilting......
.........below is my hand quilted spring nine patch with some sweet spring flowers....
........on a walk before the snow came....snowdrops in this picturesque churchyard....
.........and along the lane to the church the first blossom tree........
........ today in our garden..........a blanket of snow.......sunny though so it's beginning to thaw.....

 .....thank you for dropping by dear readers and for your kind comments and  friendship.......wishing you a happy spring week (or autumn if you are on the other side of the world) with plenty of flowers and sunshine as well as crafty inspirations.........take care lovelies............peace and love.....back soon xxxxxxx

At least it's still spring on your blog Helen!!
The new poppy seed packet is so pretty ... you're keeping us very busy cross stitching. :)
Love all your beautiful quilts which I'm sure have got lots of use these past couple of days.
Hopefully that's the end of winter weather and we can get back to spring again.
Happy weekend lovely,

The spiral quilting is a nice pattern. The churchyard is an enchanting photo.

I love your pretty cross stitch seed packets Helen. They would be lovely to make in to a pouch to hold some of the actual seed packets and give as gifts.

The jumper of the bunny is so lovely, it has a very beautiful combination of colours. I really love your photos too, they are very inspiring. Wish you a lovely day xx
