Helen Philipps: Spring Flowers

Hello dear readers....it's been a sunny week here and increasingly a flowery week too....

.........as well as sewing flowers on my new quilts, i've also been sowing flowers in trays in the greenhouse....and photographing flowers in my garden....a few more each day....

.........the top picture is the beginning of my vintage version of the flower pots quilt and the next two pics are of my spring nine patch quilt (both patterns are in my etsy shop link in sidebar)....

.........the little hen is also reappearing as are the pretty fabric eggs.......

.........and last week's stack of quilts had some primroses in an emma bridgewater mug in the picture too...

........each day a new flower opens in our garden.......

..........some have self seeded and pop up unexpectedly....and are always welcomed.....

.......the flowering currant is in full bloom now in our own garden and many other gardens in the neighbourhood....especially striking against this week's bright blue skies....

........sweet violas in a terracotta pot.....i just love these pretty little flowers.......

..........and some more in the greenhouse.....so pretty .......the seed trays (also in the greenhouse) have not shown any signs of growth yet.............but soon :).......

...........thank you so much for coming to see me here dear readers and thank you for your very kind comments last time (and sweet emails too).....they mean a lot......wishing you a happy week ahead with flowers and blue skies and sunshine...and hope in all our hearts for peace and love in this wonderful world of ours.....take care lovelies......back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

March is still a very moody month. we had snow yesterday and now heavy wind. Last week it was so warm I was wearing shorts.
April is a little bit less volatile but Spring is always exciting.
Wonderful that God created such hardy plants to give us hope even on the coldest days.
I adore your flower baskets, and patch quilts are so nice.
Everything you share is sweet; 27 March 2022 at 17:29
