England Swings!

good afternoon!

i can't say i've rushed to complete these,

but today they're done.

as soon as i spied this fabric collection..and

this isn't the half of it,

i loved it.

i loved the jazzy name that rebekah merkle called it,

"england swings"

and i loved the seemingly eclectic look of it,

different styles and colours

all vying for attention!

a georgeous trio...

comprising of two 40cm or 16" cushions

and one 45cm or 18" square cushion.

 in threes or pairs..or standing alone,

they work!

little red bobbles flip flop across the seam at the top!

i must admit

i would love to see a real english summer garden

with blooms of rich colour

and the deep emerald green foliage

and soft grassy knolls.

i think i would enjoy

the history and formality of england

&

of course,

spying

a few mad englishmen

strolling

out in the midday sun!

but i will have to dream of england a little longer

&

satisfy myself with 'england swings'

&

perhaps a few english comedies this winter

or a bit of  'back to the country' on tv.

at least after a foggy morning

the sun has warmed us all today...

and there are plenty of kids about

enjoying their holidays.
