Flowery Wreaths: a Finished Quilt

 It's always nice to finish a project and then have someone crafty to share it with:)......so i am very happy to share the new flowery wreaths quilt here in my little space with my crafty friends today...

 ...........those of you who read my blog regularly will probably remember this quilt as a work in progress......below is one of the pictures i took as the applique shapes were being cut out to make the wreaths...........each one uses the same shapes but arranged a bit differently........

 ...............i liked making this and choosing the different backing fabric for each block....

 .............the shapes were applied using fusible web and then stitched round by hand with blanket stitch and matching thread........peaceful work perfect for the evenings........

 ............i chose a check backing and binding and plain kona cotton in pink for the sashing.....

 .............and it was longarm quilted for me by the lovely debbie holland here.......we are both loving twirls and curls at the moment and this one is our favourite sticky buns pattern.......

 .............all the family use the quilts i make and i love having them around the house....quilts often feature in my pictures as well as in actual quilt photo shoots..........

 .............this one has my little grand daughter daisy's name on it......she loves pink and has a real sense of joy in colour just like i have (and my daughters too)......

 ..................here is lolly the bunny still wearing her sundress, but glad to have a cosy quilt nearby too.....

 ..............and here are a few real flowers..........always my inspiration and endless source of pleasure...

 ...........the sweetpea plants are still producing gorgeous blooms but i know their days are numbered now...better enjoy the scent and colour while we can.....

 ................a simple jug of flowers from the garden............happy to have cosmos and snapdragons flowering well too and to add them to my sweetpea posy............

..............thank you for dropping by dear readers and sharing some crafty times with me.......and for leaving me such sweet comments...next week i am taking a little blog break but will be back the week after that as usual............wishing you a wonderful time in the meantime with sunny days and plenty of happy crafty inspirations.....................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
