Our Golden Dollar plant is flowering more profusely than I've ever seen before. It looked especially delightful after a lunch time dusting of tiny rain drops.
The peachy colour of this African Daisy (Osteospermum) always pleases my eye. Even in our autumn it continues to flower beautifully. I couldn't resist snapping this shot in this morning's sunshine as we spent a little time tidying the garden.
I've been looking forward to making something from Tasha Noel's The Simple Life fabric range. I have a little of three of these fabrics as well as two from her more recent Little Red Riding Hood fabrics. After added a couple of other fabrics I am now enjoying some fussy cutting and hand stitching, working on 5" squares with an everyday lap quilt in mind. I hope Miss E (5) likes it as much as I do. Keeping it simple, keeping it fun.

What lovely blocks! And those flowers are just beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Miss E will love it:-)
ReplyDeleteSimplicity is one key element of modern quilting! This is going to be wonderful - such cute fabric!

I wonder if Miss E knows that you are making it for her. She is sure to love it - your Autumn looks soft and pretty in the sunlight.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous images! Like it...;)
ReplyDeleteI love bright yellow flowers too. I think the quilt is going to be quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look beautiful especially with those few drops of rain on them.
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow flowers. I'm wondering if all the flooding you had earlier is making the blooms more plentiful? I'm sure your little one will like the quilt you are making her. Your children are so fortunate to have a mother who makes them a special piece. Something they can treasure for years and years.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is so delightful!!
ReplyDeletePlease forgive me as I pour over your blog... and possibly comment way too much. I'm sorry I have been so absent. Life has been incredibly stressful, Bec had a 7+ week stint in hospital and my health hasn't been great. I enrolled in Uni, but my specialists have asked me to put it on hold... so I am now hoping to catch up on my favourite blogs.
God bless you, Karen! xxoo
I appreciate flowers that bloom late in the season. Someone's been sewing. :)

ReplyDeleteSpring has just arrived here, so I'm looking forward for more flowers, so I can start click-click-ing around!
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric line. I have some in my stash, but haven't decided what pattern to use fir it yet. I may also go simple and do a simple patchwork. Sometimes simple is best. =)
