Pretty Patchwork

Hello again dear readers......today i can show you the finished  pretty patchwork i began last time.....

........now made into a pillow.......in fact the simple patchwork pillow pattern is now available in my etsy shop link in sidebar........

........the fabrics used are delicious ones from atsuko matsuyama (with a few extras from my scrap basket, like stripes and dots).........you can find them on etsy and at rose garden patchwork online......

.......i loved the fruit label design so much i made it into dottie drawstring bags, just as it was........here's the blue one.....

......and here's the pink one........

......and i used some little pieces of the blue fruit label print in my simple patchwork pillow too.......

........for the backing fabric i used a very pale rose and ribbon design from the same designer........

..........as well as pretty patchwork this week i've been so enjoying all the pretty flowers....everywhere there are bluebells......in the hedgerows, in every corner of the garden and wherever there is space to grow they pop up and look beautiful.......as well as in great drifts beneath the trees in the woods.....i hope to take more pictures of them before they are over........

........and here is my sweet little crabapple tree covered in bright pink blossom......

..........i moved it into the front garden bed last year as it didn't seem very happy in its pot......love this pretty blossom...such a splash of colour among the green......

..........thank you for visiting me here dear friends and for your kind comments which i always enjoy..... wishing you a happy sunny week ahead with plenty of crafty inspiration.......take care lovelies.........peace and love.....................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
