Heartstrings

Hello again dear readers........the past week has been all about quilt finishes, flowers and gardens.....

.......this is my latest heartstrings quilt made to celebrate 25 years of tilda fabrics......each heart features a tilda fabric from early designs to the latest jubilee collection........

......i've worked with tilda fabrics for many years, doing blog hops in the early days and always finding inspiration in the designs and colours.........it was fun to find so many different tilda fabrics to use in my stash......

..........the backing fabric is the beautiful bird print from the jubilee collection, and i made scrappy binding using jellyroll strips also from the jubilee fabrics.......

..........the quilt was hand quilted which i think suits the appliqué hearts so they can shine........

............it was fun to make this quilt and it brought back lots of memories of previous makes and favourite fabrics.....below is a little souvenir pincushion..........

............lots of sunshine in my sewing room this week........flowers and floral quilts in a stack......

.............the floral quilts give a very summery feel any time of year........

.........my treasured auricula are flowering again after being nurtured in the greenhouse, split and repotted and fussed over........

...........always a delight to me to see these sweet little flowers bloom.........

..........one last picture of my latest heartstrings quilt on the cottage garden gate (the pattern is in my etsy shop link in sidebar)........the last of the bluebells is in the foreground........sorry to see the bluebells finish but lots of exciting summer flowers are just waiting to bloom...............

..............thank you so much for dropping by lovelies.............and thank you for the kind comments and messages you leave me.....always a treat to hear from you.......hope you are enjoying happy sunny days................take good care................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
