Vintage Hearts and Wildflowers

Hello again dear readers.....here's my vintage hearts quilt finally finished.......
........it was made a while ago, and i decided to hand quilt it which was very enjoyable......
.........now it's finished and perfect for autumn.....though this past week we had a mini heatwave here and quilts weren't needed for a few days......
........i used many favourite scraps for both the patches and the appliqué hearts for this quilt, and chose ones with a vintage feel, or a vintage colour way ........
..........it was fun to make and now i'm hand quilting my next quilt....will show you that one soon....
...........a little basket of fabric pumpkins has appeared too ready for autumn......
.........both the pumpkin pattern and the vintage hearts quilt pattern can be found in my etsy shop link in sidebar.....
............my next set of pictures was taken at erdigg (a national trust property)........
.........these wildflower borders are so beautiful and inspiring to me.......
...........and below is another pretty wildflower mini meadow........so gorgeous to see, and we have bought  some wildflower seeds ready to try this ourselves next year........
.........during the very hot days this week we had some cooling walks by the sea and here is a picture of some rosehips growing at the cliff edge........the misty view beyond is hard to see but it was sea and sky on a very hot day........
........thank you for visiting me here and leaving me such kind comments dear blog friends.......hope your september is going well and wishing you happy days and crafty inspirations ..........keep safe lovelies......back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Helen! I just love your little heart quilt. I love the colors and the design. It's just beautiful. The wildflowers are beautiful too. I'm so ready for fall. The summer in Alabama has been almost unbearably hot and humid. My flowers have just shriveled from the heat despite getting watered. Thank you for your lovely post!

Beautiful heart quilt, the comfort vibe is strong in the design. Love your fabric pumpkins. The wildflowers are a really good mix of colors and shapes.

The quilt is just lovely and will be a joy to use when the weather is cooler. The pretty colours will lift the heart during the darker seasons. x

Your heart quilt is precious! You'll be proud of me as I have several quilt projects on the go now! I did finish a little mini quilt...more of a mug rug in size. I have to get out your pattern for the pumpkins as I bought that one and several others.
Such beautiful wildflowers. Enjoy the changing season!
