Oh those bluebells are so pretty! And I really do love that garden bench.. painted another color? or white again? it adds such a lovely backdrop to your quilt! And I love the fabric collage bag you are making. I wish I could get myself to try some hand applique.. just seems like whenever I try to sit and do handwork in "my chair", all the cats feel like they need to jump up and sit there with me! So I tend NOT to do any handwork! I HAVE started crocheting a baby blanket though for new twin great nephews coming very soon (one for each) so I have to sneak that in "between cats"!! Your garden is just so wonderous... I would love one similar with the picket fence, bench and pink tulips! Marilyn
Hello Helen! Oh how I love your photos in the garden on the bench of your gorgeous quilt! I actually like the bench as is, rust and all. It looks so natural. I have a patch of Bluebells out in my garden.. I think today would be a good day to pick a bouquet! You inspire me, always. We planted tomatoes, a pepper and 8 lettuces yesterday, soon I will use my trug (inspired by yours) to harvest them for a salad. I'm crocheting a flower garland, nearly ready to crochet them all together. Sending good wishes your way... ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
The blossoms are very similar to my Crab apple flowers
Bluebells are such a joy aren't they ....I think your bench is very photogenic Helen!! :)
So glad you got some pink tulips this year!
Your project bag is going to be very pretty.
Happy new week, stay safe,

Such pretty bluebells and tulips. Ours are blooming, too, and cutting little posies for the house is such a fun thing to do. Pretty projects you are working on.
Good morning, it is a wondrous time of year. The one blessing of this quarantine has been the very untypical weather. I think the sunshine has made it possible to be out and about a little each day. Especially for those without gardens. I think your blossom is crab apple. Keep an eye on them they are wondrous for making jellies in the autumn. I used to use them as a basis for herb jellies, like mint and sage jelly.
Have a beautiful crafty week. Keep safe

how lovely the blossom is, I think the other commenters are right and it's crab apple. Despite having loads of bluebells in the woods, not one has made its way over the fence into my garden!
Bluebells! Your forests and gardens full of bluebells is one of the most gorgeous events on Earth.
What lovely photos your garden looks stunning.
Good morning Helen ,
Lovely bluebells in your garden , my garden is also full of them .
My ones I had from mt fathers and my grandfathers garden so they are very old some are well over 100 years old and brings back so many memory,s .
Your photos are always so beautiful and lifts your heart .
Love your new work It gives me a lovely idea for a pillow .
Have fun and keep safe .
We had a sniff of a huge lilac bush on our walk today - beautiful. I like the look of the project bag - my kind of thing. Stay well. Jo xx
