Oh Helen....all your lovely pumpkins, you must have so many now! I really enjoyed making mine, such a satisfying little make. :)
I'm afraid 'Ophelia' destroyed my nasturtiums and they were looking so well too. :(
Glad you're having a lovely time with your grandchildren.

I've always been partial to gingham. I've made many curtains out of gingham. Primary reason? Easy to follow the lines when stitching!

The pumpkins are gorgeous.
The cake looks yummy

Helen, everytime I come to your blog, past and present, it cheers me up because of all these fun fabrics you use. Even the gloomiest day becomes brighter. Love the pumpkins and all the other pretty things you create. Thank you.
Susanne :)
I love your pumpkins,Helen and your fabric and colour choices.Have a cosy and happy week! Tina x
Gingham always looks so fresh and pretty.
Gingham is a classic print that makes anything cheerier. You have a great collection of pretty pumpkins. Enjoy these days with the grandchildren!
Such darling pumpkins in such fun colors. I also love that you found enough flowers in your garden for some bouquets, such a darling little pitcher!! We're at the beach and are enjoying a sunny warm day after days of stormy wind and pouring rain. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Your pumpkins are so cute! I love the gingham and the colors!
Your posies and pumpkins are perfect! I'm so glad you are having lovely days with your family. The fall colors around here are spectacular...I'll try to post some photos soon xxxxx
I've made some of your pumpkins from your book this year . I'm still in Spain at the moment it's still warm. I love your photos of Manchester park particularly the colour of the trees in there Autumn colour.
We don't get that here. I'm back to the UK in a couple of weeks. I hoping I won't miss too much of what is left of Autumn.
Your gingham pumpkins are fantastic, Helen! What a cute idea. I love the other ones too. The cake looks delicious, I hope you enjoyed it. That is a very nice park, I love seeing the seasons changing in other places. Hope you're having a good week so far. :)
Helen,
Your sweet autumn post is inspiring once again. The gingham pumpkins are so cute. I am finishing a garden inspired nine patch quilt top alternating with white squares. Love the fabric called Garden Delights by Gray Sky Studio. It reminds me of Liberty of London fabrics and keeps the summer flowers in mind. We are enjoying beautiful autumn colors finally and some cooler temps. Not looking forward to the cold blustery temps to come.
Thank you for sharing!

I love all your fall pumpkins.
This autumn day will be for making here also. I bought fabric for Christmas pillows and need to get busy.
Sounds like you are having lots of lovely quality time with your family. All your pumpkins are so sweet. I bought gingham last summer to cross-stitch on and still haven't done a thing with it.
Fun pumpkins! Your cosmos photos are the best I've seen.
What a wonderful pumpkin collection you have made Helen, full of autumn cheer on these wet and windy days. And the chocolate cake looks scrummy. Xx
I finally caught up with your posts...how do I get so far behind? The time just goes by so fast! I'm glad you are enjoying your grand children and family. I wish mine lived closer or vice-versa. What a great cafe like you are in a tree house. Adore the Susie Watson pottery and those cute little hands decorating the cake. The pumpkins are propagating like rabbits around your place...so cute and one can never have too many! Red gingham...all gingham actually, is a favorite of mine too. I can't wait to see what you work on next! Happy Sewing!
It is always good to spend time with family. I am having a craft light week this week but it is good to be with the girls. Cool pumpkins! Jo x
Were those Smarties on that cake? I haven’t had those since the last time I was in Tyrone! Ahhh I miss Irish chocolates!! May I please have a Flake and a Crunchie?
Belli i tuoi racconti, le tue zucche, quelle piccole assomigliano un poco alle mele. Ciao
Gorgeous pumpkins and the cake looks delicious too!
Lovely photos Helen - so pleased to read that you have had a good week with the family.
