Beautiful post. I love your heart quilt and it goes so well on that beautiful blue chair. The postage stamp quilt is going to be lovely too, can't wait to see more. Hope you are having a fabulous weekend. xxx
Simply beautiful! I have loved all the Tilda fabrics since I discovered it. Your quilts are beautiful and such an inspiration. I just purchased some windy days and saw the quilt you made fussy cutting out the lady. I had left a comment there also, asking what size your blocks were and what size is your finished quilt. Are you sewing with a machine or hand piecing? I will be purchasing more variety of Tilda fabrics in the future, I just happened upon a sale as we were traveling through Utah, here in America. I love reading your post, which I recently discovered!!
Hello. Just discovered your blog. Was watching an old vlog from Emma of the Vintage Sewing Box and she mentioned you. The heart quilt is beautiful. Just starting to learn so will be looking at all your past blogs. Lesley
And here I am seeing your last blog post of August. I LOVE the postage stamp quilt colors you are using.. the pops of gold with the little pink flowers really makes it feel "autumny" (is that a word?).... and I think the season is finally starting to change. I had planted two blackberry bushes last summer, and this summer, they grew well and huge, but the berries seemed to turn half brown and fuzzy.. even though I watered them well.. I just don't think they could take the 110 to 112 degree weather we had for such long stretches of time. I do so love blackberries! Your dahlias are gorgeous too. Have a wonderful fun trip to the country cottage! Marilyn
