 ........i found this piece of patchwork in my sewing room sort out and am going to make it into a bag.....am just quilting it at the moment......
 .......pretty fabric piles....these are some sweet japanese florals.....still sorting fabrics, ironing and folding here.....
 ..........meanwhile molly is happy dozing on a snuggly quilt all day.......
 .......this is a small set of book shelves which was left in the house when we moved in many years ago......it has been painted lots of times and i brought it down from the top floor this week to paint it again.....
 ........but first i put some quilts and other things on it........
 .............still lots of cherry tomatoes to harvest.......they taste so sweet and delicious.....
 ...........and i absolutely love walks at this time of year.....this is a regular walking place for us.....
 ........love seeing the rosehips appear among the hedgerow greenery and ivy......
 ...........and here's a view from the woodland path we were walking on across the fields to an old farm.....it's another lovely day today, sunny and bright with blue sky but also with that unmistakeable september chill in the air......

Beautiful views and pathways for your daily walks. Lovely bushes and flowers along the way too. Here things are more unkempt and wild looking, but still beautiful in their own way. Yes, we too smell and feel Fall in the air. We have had a lot of rain lately, but we did get some of our last outside work done inbetween. (Some front and back porch work). Love your pretty hexagons - enjoy your quilting, Helen.

Awe little Molly is such a lucky little doggie with so many beautiful quilts to snooze on!! :)
You have some lovely walking paths ... so many berries appearing now and the leaves are beginning to turn ... so true about that September chill even on the sunniest of days.
And lovely tomatoes, I made some more sauce for the freezer this morning.
Enjoy your week my friend,

Molly is so cute! I can see that photo as a drawing on note cards.
The end of summer is scenting the air here in Vermont, on some days. On other days, it is still summer.

It is a joy to see the beauty around you inside and out, Helen. The farmland view reminds me of some I have seen on this side of the pond. The Sweet Pea blooms you showed us in the last post are so pretty. In my last post I had a view of the one Sweet Pea bloom I was able to grow this year and it never fully opened up but still was pretty. Please give Molly some love pats from me. xxxxxxx

You pick the most lovely fabrics with pretty images and luscious colors. I'm glad your cherry tomatoes did well. Our Black Cherry tomatoes did well but next year we'll go back to traditional red ones. I enjoyed seeing your countryside, too. Enjoy your Autumn days. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Hi from Oregon! Always love your beautiful colorful posts.. your hexagons are so pretty... will look forward to seeing your lovely bag! Your walking areas are so so pretty... so green and lush there. I love your little quilt shelf. I have always wanted one... I put some of my quilts on top of one of our tall hutches, but trouble is, our rescued kitty (now 5 year old!) thinks that pile of quilts is HER exclusive bed! So be it. We didn't have a veggie garden this year. I do miss those tomatoes though and sweet lemon cucumbers. Hopefully next year....... Hugs.. Marilyn

Walking in the autumn is such a pleasure. Your makes are lovely, and what a delicious bowl of cherry tomatoes. Ours are producing well just now, too.
