Your new blanket is gorgeous - I love those colours. Is that a sewn on edging or did you crochet the pom pom edging?
Such a lovely post - and the pom pom edging is absolutely perfect !
Have a lovely week, Kate x
Thank you Helen for the beautiful , colourful and inspiring photos of your work. I also was impressed by the pom pom edging . It gives this 'extra something' to the beautiful blanket.
Have a nice, creative week , as always.
My best ,

Your colourful blanket will keep someone cozy once the autumn rains begin. The pompom edging looks like fun!
Beautiful apples and flowers. Late summer is filled with delights.
Gorgeous - I love your blanket and lovely photos as always thank you xx
You've outdone yourself once again with a gorgeous blanket for Fall!
I love the pompoms especially that they are all different colors.
Cinnamon is so precious with her little hand knit sweater and that darling frock she's wearing under it. I feel like Alice in Wonderland when I visit your blog. Love the Quilter's Diary too!
I love your new blanket! The pom on edging is original and cute.
Have a nice week!

This is the most glorious time of year, especially when we get a little sunshine. Your lovely blanket sums it up perfectly! I'd love to know what yarn you used.
I always enjoy your posts and turn to them when I am in need of a little colour (which is often actually)! Thank you so much.

Dear Helen,
The garden you visited looks beautiful.It's still so full of flowers! What a joy to walk through it.
Your blanket looks perfect. I like the pop pom edging! It finishes it finishes it off beautifully!
Happy week!

Hallo Helen, deine Decke ist traumhaft schön geworden und die Bommeln am Rand gefallen mir sehr gut. Ein wunderschönen Garten hast du da besucht, richtig einladend, bunt und toll.
Liebe Grüße Annerose
What a lovely colourful post Helen. I love the pom pom edging on your beautiful blanket and the potager in the garden you visited looks wonderful. Have a great week.

September is such a beautiful month - the new beginnings of a school year, changing colours of leaves & flower heads, cooler mornings & evenings...I do so love the changing of the seasons - I think I would struggle to live somewhere where it was warm all year round. Much as I'm enjoying this beautiful weather, I'm also looking forward to lighting up the log burner in the evening & snuggling under a blanket in front of the telly! Have a lovely week!
Oh wow -- it's just gorgeous. You have such a great eye for color -- and those pompoms look fantastic!!/1
I adore the richness of the autumn blanket and the pom pom trim gives a lovely touch. x
Your blanket is beautiful! What a way to welcome fall. Love your blog .

Helen , as ever a stunning piece of work.Did you sew the edging or did you crochet it on? It looks stunning
Hi Helen, I'm going to look for this quilters desk diary, sounds like just the thing I need to be inspired and organized!! xo amy
Your blanket is wonderful around with pom pom! and my favorite photo is the white basket full of fabric above the blanket crochet ... I love this photo, Helen!
Today is the National Day of Catalonia, my country.
At 17:14 hours in BARCELONA. We hope the world will listen us.
There will be a V, with the following meaning:
VOTE (votar in catalan) , WILL (voluntat in catalan) and VICTORY (victòria en catalan) .
We, the Catalans, hopefully one day we can celebrate our Independence Day.
Above all we are a peaceful people.
FREEDOM FOR CATALONIA!
Thans for sharing, Helen!
Have a nice day!
Helen, love your new crocheted blanket, and the pom-pom trim just completes it beautifully. The Quilter's Diary looks lovely, will look out for that. Cinnamon is really sweet too, and what a great name for her.
Many thanks for your lovely comments on my blog, I appreciate them so much. I think a word to describe your style is 'Fresh'.It is always so crisp and clean and pretty in your corner. Have a lovely weekend, with love, Linda x
Your crochet blanket is beautiful Helen..a really pretty mix of colours and I love the pompom edging!
Cinnamon looks so sweet in her autumnal shades and how lovely to have two of your projects in your new quilters desk diary!
The cottage garden is so lovely too x
Hope you have a lovely weekend,
Susan x
I love the pom pom blanket - what a happy thing to curl up under. The photo's of the potager are gorgeous too - that's what mine is supposed to look like but it is far from it this year!
Haven't the last couple of weeks been lovely? Although I am back at work after the hols it is so nice to come home to a lovely evening!
Love the blanket, so cosy for the autumn.
