Summer Brights

Hello again dear readers.........it's been VERY hot, sunny and bright since i last wrote my blog....actually we've had a heatwave all week.....tonight is cooler though.....here is my red and white checkerboard quilt matching the red poppies......

......this quilt is one of my very favourites.......the simple pattern is in my etsy shop.......

........sunshine and poppies and pretty fabrics.....an old blue bucket too.....

.........some of our garden seating is in the shade and that's where you'd find me in the afternoons, sewing english paper pieced patchwork......in the mornings we walked on the beach with molly our dog and enjoyed some cooling sea air and refreshing salt water.....

.......lots of poppies have grown up next to the sweet peas.....i love how poppies literally just pop up...

...........i sewed a little summer inspired patchwork bag......this is from my dottie drawstring bag pattern also in my etsy shop...link in sidebar....

..........love these bright summer colours this week :).......poppies, zinnias and nasturtiums.....

............some sweet japanese fabrics, scraps and belle and boo summer designs inspired this bag....

.....with cords and stops...all from rose garden patchwork.......

.........a nice little bag to give as a summer gift (or to contain a gift)......and to keep tiny toys or treasures in...

..........or maybe some fabric fish......children love these little fish....and i like them too for summer decorations.....

.........thank you for dropping by to my little bit of blogland lovely readers.....and thank you for your kind comments.......wishing you a wonderful weekend and a happy week ahead......keep well lovelies.....back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
