We have been having the most beautiful indian summer days here, misty mornings and then hot sunshine.........not summer, and not autumn but a few golden days in between..............
...........the autumn blanket i began during the indian summer last year is now complete......
................i added a pom pom trim all the way round to finish it off.......regular readers will know i loved adding pom pom edging to the ripple blankets i made...........i already had some of this darker multi pom pom trim in my stash and when i laid it on the blanket i knew i needed some more of it to really complete it...................
...............it was inspired by the bright berries, fruits and blue sky of the lake district last year.......
............this year too we have visited lots of lovely gardens, and last week went to one of our favourites where the potager was burgeoning with all kinds of vegetables and fruits in mellow colours......
.............i love the canes and other structures in a kitchen garden and the decorative way the climbers twist and twine around them...............
...........there were masses of marigolds and other orange flowers like nasturtiums, and the bright colours of swiss chard mixed in with them created a lovely autumnal effect...............
.................an autumnal bunny just popping in, this is cinnamon.............
....................new fabrics to add to my stash.....kona cottons in gorgeous colours...........
..............and a new book on my shelf this week........the quilters desk diary for 2015 is a colourful and practical organiser with beautiful quilting photos ........two of my projects are in it :) .......it would make a lovely gift for a quilter and is available in book shops, on amazon or here.................
............thank you for visiting me here in my little bit of blogland, lovely readers..........it is always a pleasure to see you, and to read your sweet comments is a real treat..............wishing you a happy crafty week filled with golden days................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxx
