Happy August

Hello again lovely readers......happy august......even though the weather here isn't that summery we have some bright cheerful pictures this week anyway.......

......first is a new quilt called the nine patch on point quilt......i really love a nine patch quilt.......

.....this one used lots of pretty colourful japanese florals and some cute novelty prints with white solid for contrast.....

...........the backing is pink gingham and the binding green and white stripes.....

........hubby and i had a little outing to chester at the weekend......we walked round the town, through the park, photographed the ruins and the flowers......

.........and along the river.......

........where we had scones and coffee at table by the river bank, watching the boats come and go.....

........and in our garden the dahlias keep on growing.......

..........maybe next year we'll actually plant a dahlia bed and add some more pretty kinds......

.........they fascinate me with their big blooms and bright colours....have never grown them until the past couple of years........

.......here's an old favourite in our garden.....the pink day lilies.....they were here when we moved in and i've split them and spread them round the garden since then.......short lived but beautiful flowers.......

......thank you for popping in to see me here dear readers.......thank you too for your kind comments and messages to my weekly 'letter' to you.......hope august has started well for you and you have a happy cheery month ahead........take care lovelies...........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
