I wonder how you hand applique your hearts that you mentioned. Lovely pics! Natalie
Love your applique hearts. I am doing mine on point and mostly red and pinks with a few novelty ones threw not in. They work up real fast.
Oh I love blue, as you know, Helen! Those cornflowers and agapanthus are stunning and I adore your lovely cushion and quilts.
You know I don't think you need to go further afield to photograph your quilts, your beautiful garden is just perfect.
Have fun with your grandchildren!

Must be the day for blue because I am writing up a pattern for something blue today with blue in the name of the pattern! Lovely to see your blues while I skipped away from my work for a little bit!
Love that blue quilt and cushion! And the hearts are so sweet with those different background prints. Have a great week Helen!
Summer blues are always wonderful! Both your cushion and your quilt are gorgeous! The smell of fresh lavender is always wonderful. Have a wonderful time with your grandchildren, Helen!
Love the blue and white quilt

Sempre bello il blu in tutte le sue forme e sempre nelle tue foto. Ciao
You take such lovely photos.Your blue quilt is looks beautiful in its outdoor surrounding.
Have a lovely week Helen.
I love your blues! I got tired of blue when in the U.S. we had that 'country blue' that seemed to take over everything but since it is now gone, I am liking the color again. Especially the mix of hues and patterns in the fabrics you chose! I've always loved navy blue but the periwinkle is a favorite too and bluebell blue and so many more....thank you for reviving my love of blues...that 'counry btlue' saturation for so long almost ruined them for me.
I love the SAL that is planned and if I get my frosted pumpkin done in time I may join in. If not I may just print it off and plan on it for later....is that kosher? Anyway, I'm sure it is darling as that little 'peek' indicates. I will get may material ready just in case! Enjoy your garden, your grands and your crafting! Hugs ~ Sam
Beautiful. Cool summer blues quilting and in your garden, which is a fabulous place to show your quilts and cushions. Love the simplicity of the hearts too. Your cross stitch see along is a great idea, hope to join in. Keep enjoying the summer. Love Pat XOX
Gorgeous, as always, Helen! I love those blue flowers in the pitcher, how perfect!
I hope you'll have lots of fun having your grand-babies with you, I know you will. Good job on all those pretty things you're making, the kids will enjoy them too, I'm sure. Your x-stitch house is so sweet! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Blue is my very favorite color and I love your pretty blue and white quilt. It looks beautiful in your garden too. When you go further afield to take quilty pictures, be prepared for some stares LOL!!!
Beautiful!
Bachelor Buttons are a favorite flower.
What a lovely summery colour palette. I love the blues especially when combined with the gorgeous red fliers in the last photo. The blue and white quilt and cushion look perfectly at home in the garden.
