Saying it with flowers.........

Good afternoon everyone..
Have you had a good week?
Misty autumnal mornings have been enjoyed here
but often they have turned dark and blustery as the days have progressed....
....not the best weather for crafting and taking photographs!

Lots of pretty flowers in jugs have definitely brightened up 

our house and spread a little cheeriness around the place..

they never fail to work their magic!

I'm loving my new fabrics too...

the floral design is from 

Liberty's  Bloomsbury Gardens

...such a beautiful collection.

and the second is 

Michael Miller's Little Elephants 

both purchased from a new favourite shop

Eclectic Maker

~♥~

The gorgeous Liberty prints are inspiring me 

to make some pretty tea dresses!

I've always been a fan of their fabrics but

I'm suddenly in love with Liberty!

So tea dresses are now on my ever growing 'to-do' list...

It's good to dream though, isn't it?

My blocks have been sewn into rows and now the rows need to 

be sewn together making my quilt top complete

and ready for adding the border...

I did start rotating the blocks the wrong way for some reason...

(due to my terrible sense of direction I think!)

but I'm finally on the right road I'm happy to say.

I tried to take some pics of my progress yesterday but due to the 

terrible light the lovely strawberry reds

 were turning out very odd indeed developing a strange orangey tint

so will try again on a better day...the one above

was a quick click as I decided to give up and put my camera away

but strangely it was the best of my attempts...always the way

(must add the dress is on my mannequin and not me!

I don't dress like that when I'm working....

Ah....but I so like the idea!)

....and still I have to photograph my last quilt but it's so large that

I've now decided to try and photograph it in situ on the bed!
