Lots of pretty here today, Helen!
Your piecing is always fresh and lovely.
I do think your crocheted blanket is picture perfect.
Your quilt is amazing Helen....I think you get through your WIP's quite quickly actually. :) Beautiful crochet blanket too, I'm looking forward to seeing which border you finish it with!
And what a delicious looking apple....yum!
Happy new week Helen,

A gorgeous blog post as always Helen. I love the colours in your V-stitch blanket, they look so fresh and I look forward to seeing your border. Hope you have a good week & take care.

I love the pretty bright colors, so cheerful.
The colours you use are so pretty. I do wonder how you find the time to do all that you do!
Your scrappy hexie quilt is gorgeous. Such pretty fabrics!
I love that blanket, Helen!
I wish i knew - and had the patience- to make a quilt! Well done to you Helen! Have a lovely week.
Helen,
What a sweet starry quilt. Love the way the Kona solids become tumbling blocks around the stars. I admire all your EPP projects, such intense cutting and stitching. I would love to have the patience to make a quilt like this. Beautiful! I recently finished sewing in a "million" ends on a multicolor blanket, so glad when that task was finished. Love your flowery v stitch blanket, such sweet colors.
Thank you for sharing.

What a pretty read. You colours are always glorious. I love to see your crotchet. It give me so many ideas. I love autumn the colours speak for themselves.
Your talent in the choice of colors just takes my breath away....xoxo
You always have such beautiful eye-candy here Helen! I LOVE your stars -- it's going to be such a bright, happy quilt. Looks like you wear fall well!!!
Those star blocks are so interesting! I love them. And your v-stitch blanket is so delicate and feminine. Just lovely.
So lovely, and so inspirational xx
It's fun to see your colorful quilt blocks and the crocheted blanket too. I wonder who will be the happy recipient of that candy colored blanket? A granddaughter, perhaps? Anyone would love it. I'm working on a baby blanket with similar colors but it's variegated so no ends to sew in. Enjoy your Autumn. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Dear Helen, it is a treat to visit you here! Not only do I admire your use of color, but also design. Today my eyes are having fun admiring the pretty flowers and cubes in your latest quilt. After two months of traveling, today I enjoyed visiting your posts I missed. I'm so glad you have had good times with your family, gardening and crafting. Thanks for the links to lovely fabrics and projects. Your flowers are gorgeous! I grew some Sweet Peas and Hollyhocks this year, too, and so enjoyed them. Wishing you a happy week!
Things are bright and pretty here today. The applique circles in the midst of the pieced blocks are a perfect little finishing touch.
You'll enjoy those apple crumbles come winter. I have a few in the freezer here, too. Happy Autumn Days to you.
I love the appliqued circle in the middle of the stars. Looking to see what border you crochet on you blanket.
Your quilt blocks are bright and beautiful, Helen. You are so versatile without straying from your true love and style. The crochet blanket is so very sweet, I can imagine the warmth as it sits on your lap in the colder months - finishing it for yourself or a loved one.
Sending a big hug from across the pond,

Such a pretty quilt and it is like an optical illusion as I can see squares in there too...like children's colored blocks set on end. I like the addition of an applique center too and the pincushion is so precious and would make a nice gift too. Your flowers and vases are always so pretty and how fortunate your are to get fruits and berries fresh from your garden and walks. I love the crocheted blanket and I don't think I've ever seen that stitch before but I really like it! Have a great week and enjoy your Fall....I'm waiting for a 'cool down' here as it is still very warm! Take care! Hugs ~ Sam
P.S. I was able to get the Homespun magazine on my Kindle for a reasonable price and so happy as I have always loved that magazine! I can't wait to see you in there but haven't had time yet to browse it! I have always loved your bunnies! I told people about it on my blog too so trying to get the word out! LOL!
Beautiful post Helen! I love this pattern for the diamonds! x Teje
Love that star template. In my early stages of quilting I forget to use solid colours but this is inspirational. jo x
Beautiful colours! I love the EPP
