Summer Time

Hello dear readers......we are enjoying our summer time here today.......this is my nautical checkerboard quilt.......

........and the striped beach house and some little fish.......(patterns for all these are in my etsy shop link in sidebar)........

.........summer is about outings, garden days, strawberries, quilts spread out on the lawn....

.........morning walks on our quiet local beach with our dog molly who loves to dash in and out of the sea....

........and summer time is about flowers too.......last weekend we had the family all here for lovely birthday celebrations for my younger daughter and me.........lots of jugs and vases were filled with garden flowers....

........colourful and scented......

.........i love mixed posies of simple flowers so much........

........i did buy the peonies and stocks though to add to my garden flower arrangements.....

.........got out the picnic quilts....here they are on the white picket fence, with lupins in the background.....

.....one picnic quilt is made from tilda florals and one with red and blue scraps, so they look different but are both made from the same pattern (also in my etsy shop link in sidebar).........

..........loving these summer days and being outdoors.....quilting or hand sewing outside is so lovely to do, listening to the birds, enjoying the scents of roses, sweetpeas and pinks.......

..........thank you for dropping by to see me here lovely readers.....and thank you so much for the kind comments, birthday wishes, emails and sweet messages.........hoping you are enjoying the season wherever you are in the world.........wishing you happy days till next time......take care lovelies........love and peace................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
