Hello lovely readers..........we are enjoying some gorgeously scented sweet peas here today......
...........our sweet pea plants were a bit slow to get started this year but now they are flowering happily....
...........one of my favourite things is to pick a bunch of sweet peas and have them near to where i'm working to enjoy the scent and colour all day long.....
............sewing up a scrappy trip around the world quilt using my tilda stash and scraps.....above is a postage stamp pincushion made with some of the tiniest scraps (pattern in my etsy shop link in sidebar)....
.........loving making this scrappy trip quilt and playing with all the different pretty colours........
.........also loving visiting national trust gardens and seeing their sweet peas too :)........
.....the ones above were at speke hall.........below is my red and white version of my easy nine patch quilt (pattern in my etsy shop as before)......showing when your pinky sweet peas match your quilt and your beautiful birthday cup too..........
.........tangled sweet peas at erddig looking so pretty and attracting so many bees........
........pea sticks against an old mellow brick wall with twining sweet peas.......
..........a pretty balloon in our garden last weekend, celebrating both my birthday and my younger daughter's too.....we were so lucky to have a bright sunny weekend in our little corner of england.......many other places had cold wind and rain storms......
...........leaving you with a close up of these pretty flowers in a lovely greengate jug......will be picking some more later today to keep them coming and enjoy the gorgeousness as much as possible while it's still sweet pea season.........
.............thanks so much for popping in here to read my post dear blog friends..........wishing you a wonderful week ahead with sunshine and flowers and happy peaceful times..........take care lovelies........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I love sweet peas--one of my favorite flowers--

Sweet peas are definitely the scent of summer ... I love them, they remind me of my childhood as my mother always had them in the garden.
Beautiful quilts as always toning in beautifully with the sweet peas.
So glad you and your daughter had a lovely birthday party.
Happy weekend Helen,

A very belated Happy Birthday. Love your quilt and the pretty flowers. I've heard of Sweet Peas but didn't know they had a fragrance. Oh I liked your sweet pincushion. Can never have too many of them. Have a wonderful week.
Helen, I hope all is well with you. You haven't posted any of your beautiful pics in awhile. I hope you're having an amazing vacation! Just want you to know you're missed!
