It has been a lovely day here too. I found outdoor jobs to do on our building site. Although I must say it always looks sunny on your blog Helen. Jo x
Your flowers, fabric, and precious little hearts have me thinking of spring! I always enjoy my visits, Helen. Have fun making your new quilt!

Helen,
I just returned home from one of my knitting/crochet groups, such fun times with great ladies; and I had to catch up on your latest blog post.
I love, love, love the Tilda Apple Butter fabrics, and they are perfect for your sweet little hearts. Using them in a quilt would be just the ticket too. I completely understand the "cutting into it" thing. I have several precuts that I have been admiring for quite a while.
Your dainty cherry blossom wreath reminded me to take down my winter wreath and hang my pink and white tulip wreath on our front door. Maybe it will encourage spring to get here sooner, do you think?
Your sewing room looks so inviting. My sewing room needs a lot of tender loving care and tidying up. I have expanded into our spare bedroom. Yikes! I need to get serious about de-stashing. Is that a real word?
I am looking forward to seeing your flower and flying geese quilt when it is finished.
Thank you for sharing your talented crafty world.

Lots of lovely Valentine images Helen!! Your new fabric is so pretty, it will make a beautiful quilt!!
Yes, it definitely felt like spring today and I believe it's going to get milder as the week goes by which is wonderful.
Have a great week,

Dear Helen, I must say that a visit to your blog post today was like a breath of warm, flower scented Spring air! I am now envying the string of floral hearts.. I would like something like that and even feel inspired to get some similar fabric and get out my antique Featherweight Singer sewing machine and sew some up. Enjoy your week ahead! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Another beautiful post Helen , I love all the soft colours around your house , the flowers I just love the pretty hearts and quilt all so pretty.
The sewing machine took me back in time when I use to make all my daughters dresses , it was the best machine I ever had , I wish I still had it now.
Have a good week.
I love your blog it's my start of the week go to.
The colours are wonderful, especially this time of the year.
I think your hearts are so sweet.
Thank you for sharing Helen.
Fiori, cuori, fantasie di stoffe, sempre belle le tue foto e la tua casa così colorata.
Such lovely fabrics and cute projects, Helen! Love your bouquet of tulips to brighten the room with - and the day :)! I'm still enjoying the twinkling lights on my Christmas tree - as our days are blustery and wintery - this covers the window nicely, and makes it all cozy inside :)!
Hello Helen from dreary and gray Oregon! Glad you got a peek of sunshine on the day you wrote this post! I LOVE those new Tilda fabrics and the label is just as darling! Oh.... and I must have some of those tiny fabric hearts. Why can't I get myself to make some? I don't know. I sure do love them.. and love how they are hanging in a row from the hutch..... and the cherry blossom wreath and little pink heart... oh just so cute! I'm kind of in a crafting funk right now so I really need some inspiration. It's been SO COLD here, windy and we did have about 8 inches of snow and more on the way. I stay cozy inside but wish I could get my mojo going again. As always I love seeing your bright and cheery colors and quilts and sweet little projects. Hugs from Marilyn
Another beautiful quilt Helen -- your color selections are always so beautiful. And Apple Butter -- it's my favorite Tilda collection in recent years -- I just wish I could decide what to make with it -- tooooo many choices. (Oooh, and that beautiful old machine. I recently acquired one -- I was going to sell it, but I still have it -- not sure if it runs or not, but thinking I might just keep it for display like yours!)
Tilda fabrics are so pretty, but a bit difficult to find here. Your photos are full of pretty things that hint at spring and at Valentine's Day. Have a lovely week.
You always work with the nicest fabrics, Helen. The heart is beautiful.
