Civil War Diary Quilt, niet te stoppen..

Recovering Items
Guerilla Warfare
Sadness and Silence
Poor Columbia
Na de workshop van afgelopen dinsdag ben ik weer helemaal bezig met quilten. Heerlijk! Jammer dat ik nu alweer door mijn stofjes heen ben en moet wachten tot M. de doos met stofjes weer meebrengt. Voornemen voor de komende weken: meer patchen, minder kleding naaien. Ik heb nog zoveel leuke patchwork/ quilt projectjes liggen en de Pinwheels is daar zeker één van! Het lijkt overigens wel of ik bekeerd ben tot de blauwe stofjes, maar in deze serie hoort nog een compleet rode, die ik heb uitgeleend aan M. Volgende keer gaan we weer los in het roze! G.

Bidding Goodbye
Old Abe Lincoln. Nothing Lincolnish about it, I'm skipping the politics in this quilt.

Pinwheels in my garden

Last night I. and I did a course at "the Stitch Cottage" in Den Haag. We started working on the "pinwheels in my garden"miniquilt. To our surpise we did the course with two sisters, who we met at the "Ragtime-quilt"course. We had so much fun! Here are my first applique pieces... G.

Measuring tape

Our friend A. gave us the pattern for this measuring tape holder (is this even a word, please, M. I need some help here..) She even made a complete package of it, with floss, charm and beads. It is so very cute and I had so much fun making it! I spent some delightful nights on the couch working on this lovely project. Thanks A. !! G.

Baby Remco

Baby Sister started this cross-stitch pattern over two years ago, but never finished it. So when she was expecting her baby, she asked me to finish it. (It has to be said, that she did the most difficult parts of the pattern and left the easy ones for me!)

And here he is, my cute little nephew, Remco. A gorgeous little boy. Such a shame he lives over 500 kilometres away from his adoring aunt.
