Helen,
I do not know where to begin. Each and every picture has a winner. Love the striped socks, and of course the farmer's wife quilt. Must say the vase from your mum is something special and so sweet.
I can't believe temps will be in the 60s here today and tomorrow, and bulbs are beginning to pop up.
Have a wonderful week and thank you for sharing.

Wow Helen
Your blog is more vibrant than usual.
Which is a bonus on a very grey Monday. Your farmer's wife quilt is stunning. Mine is a slow work in process. It's always nice having family to stay especially the little ones.
Love those socks, think I will seek the wool out it will make my grandchildren lovely jumpers. I especially love the hearts, the top picture when I first looked at it I thought you had made some 3D hearts and stitched them onto fabric in an embroidery ring

Gorgeous I really love the socks :-) xx
Sp glad you had a lovely family weekend!! :)
Your socks are looking lovely Helen and I love all your pretty hearts.
I buy alstroemeria all the time for my dining room table....they last for about three weeks, such good value for money flowers.
Happy new week,

the socks are fun, your posts are always so colourful and refreshing.
I enjoyed hearing about your family visit, the little ones and baby cuddling. Enjoy this time with them as they grow at rocket speeds. Our two grandsons are almost as big as us now and they're only 8 and 9! Loved all your pretty colored crafty endeavors. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Lots of lovely hearts and flowers... and socks here today Helen. Glad you were all able to get together, family occasions are so enjoyable. How lovely that even your gorgeous quilt was in use. Happy new week xx
I love that alstroemeria!!
And the hearts
And the socks
:-)
Everything is so beautiful and those socks really caught my eye!!
Thanks for another lovely post, Helen. You continue to inspire me as I admire your beautiful crafting. I enjoyed crocheting some hearts to give away last week and hope to get more crafting done in the days ahead.
Wishing you beautiful days. xx
It's all so beautiful and bright and cheery! We've had a little sunshine today so that helped brighten things up. Those flowers are so pretty and love the colors in them.. hum.m.m. purples and yellows in a quilt? sounds interesting.... and grands and family.. always a wonderful combination! Cheers to a good week ahead... we're in for some super cold temperatures the next fews nights.. down close to zero. Time to wrap up! Marilyn
I enjoyed this cheerful post, Helen. And I always enjoy the pretty fabrics you choose.

So much beauty! Loving all the flower pictures and cute vases - so unique. Your pretty hearts and rainbow socks sure brighten the day. We have lots of rain and wind today, but it is chasing the snow away :)!
Dear Helen, what a beautiful uplifting post - so much to see.the farmers wife quilt is stunning, cheery hearts aplenty - love them all, and your special vase from your Mum, with bright flowers. Your rainbow socks will always make a smile. Lovely happy family birthday celebrations. Thank you for sharing your treasures. Love Pat XXX
I just love the colors you use--they always make me smile :)
Your post is full of such lovely bright colour! Daffodils are slowly blooming here, too, although we've been plunged into a bit of a deep freeze this week.
Time spent with little ones is always special. Glad you had a wonderful time.
The soft stuffed fabric hearts caught my eye--always love those. I have a bouquet of sunny alstroemeria too, from Valentine's Day. Your quilt is beautiful, and I love the pip studio plate! I have one like it with cherries in the center. It is nice to read about your enjoyable times with your family. Kindly, Alexine in Maryland
Love the hearts you made and the socks are wonderful! The vase from your mum is really pretty.
Love the haerts !and the colour socks so nice ...Greetings<Joan
I love those socks. I am making a cable pair at the moment and fixing a 50 year old crochet blanket for a friend. Have a good week. I only have 21 more blocks to go on my double bed quilt. Your fabrics have made it pop! Jo x
