I’m hand piecing a lap quilt at the moment — first time I’ve done the running stitch piecing as previously I’d done English paper piecing and machine piecing. It’s slow but therapeutic! My daughter and her family live in Chester and I love visiting them. I hope to move up there when circumstances allow. At the moment I live in Cambridgeshire and enjoy my spring garden but the summers we’ve had lately are so dry that the garden starts dying back in July and it’s so disheartening. I look forward to being in the wetter Northwest, your garden and home are beautiful and you are the queen of style!Dianajayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07371863792952230999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-67585608640029070152019-10-09T10:11:21.793+01:002019-10-09T10:11:21.793+01:00Love seeing your Autumnal decorations Helen and th...Love seeing your Autumnal decorations Helen and the pumpkin quilt is gorgeous.

I'm a fan of historic buildings, architecture with character that tells a story and holds memories. Thanks for sharing. Always lovely to see your pretty makes. Have a good week.

We have snowberries here but they are all white, no pink at all.. I love yours! Thank you for sharing your amazing tile entry.. I love it and I can see why it would inspire you to quilt. And those historic buildings.. what I wouldn't give to be able to go inside one one of those.<br /><br />Happy Autumn!!<br />((hugs)), Teresa :-) Teresa Kasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228404538876664577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-25232624639876406162019-10-08T00:50:50.713+01:002019-10-08T00:50:50.713+01:00Are those snowberries real????

And I love how you can take your favorite colors and make them work as autumn decor. No changing out the whole house, just a few touches and it all works. How clever of you! I'm just a teeny bit jealous that you can visit a town with a pub THAT OLD nearby. We don't really know old here in the USA (comparatively speaking.)
