Well, the weather continues to do that British thing of being gloriously sunny one minute and dismal the next, but I managed to grab some pictures in the garden yesterday evening when the last of the sun seemed to make everything glow!
This Comma butterfly was soaking up the warmth.
The berries on the Spindle tree looked like jewels
The Cornus bush is a mass of red leaves and twigs at the moment
And the ruby chard is as beautiful as any flower!
The sweet peas have been glorious, but I haven't cut any for a while, so they won't last much longer, but it's always nice to let them go mad at the end of the season!
Back indoors, I've been glued to my sewing machine and have attached the binding to the two latest quilts. Hand sewing to the back might have to wait though, as I've just somehow agreed to do a stall at a local craft fair in November! Guess that means I need to get on and make some stuff!

The gardens are definitely winding down now aren't they - I just want to keep taking photos of my Rudbeckia which are still looking lovely and giving some welcome colour. Love your pictures of the sun shining through the leaves and your quilts are to die for. Good luck with your craft stall.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs and I love your quilting too.

Your photos are beautiful, such lovely Autumn colours and the quilt is stunning.
ReplyDeleteMust admit I get fed up off cutting the flowers from sweet peas so they don't last a long as they should.
ReplyDeleteStunningly beautiful pics as always! LOVE the butterfly especially, and oh to be able to get my sweetpeas to flower like that. I've struggled with them for 2 years now, so perhaps I should just give up and rather just admire yours from a distance!

ReplyDeleteHello wonderful blog lady! I have come here via Madelief and I feel as happy as a pig in mud with all this beauty indoors and outdoors portrayed here. Seeing your Spindle tree reminds me of my Flower Fairy reading days when I was little. Thank you for sharing these gems with us.
