Happy New Year

Hello again dear readers....here i am back again after a lovely family christmas time........

.....in january when the days are often grey and gloomy i like to sew with pretty colourful floral fabrics.....this is my pinwheels quilt which i've just finished hand quilting........

.......it was almost complete before christmas, so i just had to stitch a little bit more and add the striped binding.........am trying to get to the bottom of my to-be-quilted pile right now :)........

........i also began a new floral, colourful vintage charm quilt using gorgeous richly patterned tilda fabrics from my stash and scraps.......

...........sewing and drinking coffee at the start of a new year.......perfect.........

............the patterns for the vintage charm quilt and the pinwheels quilt can be found in my etsy shop link in sidebar.......

..........colour is such an important part of my design life and my life in general..........

..........using paint or fabrics or threads to create colourful work on dark days is so cheering for me and always has been.....

..........and the scent of flowers is also a big joy for me at this time of year.....the hyacinths planted in this dairy bowl and in smaller bowls too fill the kitchen with the scent of spring.........

..........love them all and the perfection of each tiny flower........

..........there are blue ones to come too........and lots of other bulbs just poking through to look forward to as well.........

 .......thanks for dropping by lovely readers and for your kind comments and messages.....wishing you all a happy healthy and creative 2024........take care lovelies and enjoy the start of the new year........(you can find me on instagram as well as here if you'd like to)..................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
