Holiday

I've been away for two weeks for a holiday to Germany. I didn't do as much "kreuz-stich"as I had hope to, but I made some progress with the Seasonal Blessings sampler.
Last year I saw some old sewingmachines in museums, but I really had to search for one this time. Here's an old Pfaff machine in the "Freilichtmuseum" in Konz.
M. is making the same sampler as I am, and is going to give it to her customer Little Miss T. She had a great idea of turning it into a little wall hanger quilt with our gingham fabric leftover of the quilts for the girls. It's quite fun doing some cross stitch again, especially now that M. has given me a whole new series of McLeod's Daughters to watch.... G.

Short Autumn Break

I've just returned from a short holiday with my family in Limburg, in the south of the Netherlands. We had a great time and visited the regional museum "de Locht" nearby Horst. I was surprised to find 5 old sewingmachines! I like my own Pfaff in pink better.... G.
