Flowers and Blackberries

 Hello again dear readers.......we have been blackberrying here as you can see.....
 ...........this is a little autumn blackberry inspired pincushion new to my etsy shop (link in sidebar)...
 ...........years ago i did bead embroidery and loved how the beads made the berries look so juicy....
 .......so i decided to create something new and this is what i made.....juicy blackberries among some sweet little vintage fabric scraps with a bit of extra surface embroidery....fun and easy to do....
 ........and this is my circle table topper from my new book home sweet home sewing, out very soon....it can be pre ordered on amazon now......
 ...........the gorgeous campanulas were a gift from my eldest daughter...aren't they beautiful...i love these colours together.....
 .........the snowberries look pretty with the table topper too.....
 ...........these flowers gave me a lot of joy :).......and i took a lot of photos of them ;).....
 .............must make some more quilts in these shades....the one here is my rosy lavender four patch...
 ...............and below are two of the quilts from my new book on the rocking chair....
 ........one last campanulas shot......(my daughter also gave me the very tall glass vase they are in....she's very kind to me!)...
.........thanks so much for dropping by to see me here lovely blog friends and for the sweet comments you leave me.......i hope you are all keeping safe and well and enjoying your week.......take care lovelies.......back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Beautiful flowers and how I love your bead work to look like blackberries. Lovely shade of lavender in your quilts and your new table topper and quilts from your new book are soooo pretty - especially the beehive one. Thank you for these sneak peeks.

Such pretty berries, what a neat idea! I have ordered your book and will so enjoy it. You are lucky to have such a devoted daughter. And to have her close. Mine moved 2000 miles away and we rarely get to see them. :-( ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

As always Helen a delightful and colourful post. Congratulations on your new book, without a doubt it will be successful!! The pin cushion is so beautiful and those tiny beads make the blackberries practically real. I also like the colour scheme of your table topper and as always those wonderful quilts! keep well Amanda x
