Hello again lovely readers.......my first pictures today are of my latest daisy quilt (pattern in my etsy shop link in sidebar) made with tilda *pie in the sky* fabrics and photographed in the potting shed in between gales and rain showers.......
......we had a lovely easter weekend and luckily the weather was fine for the children's easter egg hunt.....
.........this quilt was longarm machine quilted for me by scrapbox quilting and i love the texture with the jewel like colours.......
.......after lots of time in the garden last week, the weather became wild and windy and we had to move plants and garden chairs and pots to safety as the gales got up........even our tall bird feeder blew over.....
.....but i did manage my outdoor photoshoot anyway :)..........the backing fabric below is kona cotton solid in candy pink......tilda do matching solids too but i already had this in my stash........
.........for a complete change of feel here is my next vintage charm quilt made with very soft pink and low volume fabrics including lots of the flower farm fabric from moda........
...........i began making this after the busy bank holiday weekend, enjoying a quiet spell of sewing, a nice cup of tea and some easter chocolate......
.........looking forward to next month's pageantry and excitement of the king's coronation.......here is my little coronation keepsake with some of our first bluebells from this year's garden......pattern in my etsy shop link in sidebar.......
...........below.......lots of bluebells coming into flower under the ash tree in our garden........
........and my favourite auriculas and primroses in pots, safe from the storm........
..........despite the wild weather though we've had some lovely spring moments that we are so grateful for.......the scent of hyacinths, the blue sky and green grass, and eastertime spent with family........such happy moments.......
......thank you for dropping by dear readers and for your sweet words and messages.........wishing you a happy week ahead with sunny days and crafty inspirations.........take care lovelies..........peace and love..................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Awe I love the title of your post Helen, it pretty much sums up this past week weather wise! :)
Love your pretty quilts, I think the choice of backing for your Tilda quilt is perfect.
Your garden is looking so lovely, glad you got to enjoy some family time in it over Easter.
Meanwhile I need to get on with my Coronation cross stitch!! :)
Happy weekend

Such an array of beautiful things in this post, Helen. I will definitely be watching the Coronation. I am originally from Newfoundland, Britain's oldest colony before we joined Canada in 1949. Love the monarchy.
Lovely Quilt , wonderful post .
Love every thing , have a fun weekend.
Beautiful quilt. The stitch patern takes it to another level.
Your coronation keepsake is super cute!
Beautiful post. Love both your pretty quilts. It has been wet and windy here lately, although the sunshine does seem to be more abundant the last few days! Have a lovely week. Hugs Christine xx
