Some to show

Vandaag heb ik druk aan de spring fling round robin gewerkt, moest de eerste rand toevoegen en dat is goed gelukt. De foto is in zwart wit en het midden weg gefotoshopt, want dat moet geheim blijven, anders weet de eigenaar al dat ik aan haar quilt heb gewerkt en dat willen we niet.

Ik heb ook weer druk aan roodkapje gewerkt en heb inmiddels 2 pagina´s weer af, nr 26 en 27. Nog 29 te gaan. Ben blij dat eindelijk de quilt op het bed te zien is.

Today I have been working on a spring fling round robin and I am very very happy with the result. Off course it is in other colors but we may not show them. And the colors are so beautifull. Also cut away the center.

Also came to the conclusion that it had been some weeks since I made a pic of Little red riding hood and the quilt is a bit showing now in the stitching. This is another 2 pages finished since the last pic. I am now busy with page 28.

Stash report

Not a whole lot to report. I used half a meter for a round robin and that is all. Nothing in, but I am expecting something.

Fabric in week 17: 0 meter
Fabric in this year: 29.05 meter

Fabric out week 17: 0.50 meter
Fabric out this year: 33.05 meter

Stashbusting report week 16

This week I have done some more blocks on my snowball and ninepatch quilt, but for that one I already made the bust. So now on to the new things.
I got my order in from fatquarter shop, a layer cake from Beach house and some yardage from Nature's Chorus.
The layercake went out right away to a new quilt together with another layercake and some yardage I already had in stash. So this weeks bust is:

Fabric in week 16: 3.70 meter
Fabric in this year: 29.05 meter

Fabric out week 16: 3.00 meter
Fabric out in 2009: 32.55 meter

So total busted this year: 3.50 meter

New quilt

Ik had van de week mijn stoffen binnen om deze quilt te starten, omdat in de layercake van Nature´s Chorus weinig donkere stoffen voorkwamen heb ik een layercake van Beach house erbij gekocht plus nog een klein beetje yardage voor de sashings en borders. Het is een BOM en allemaal applique met een klein beetje stitcherie en ik vindt hem erg leuk om te doen, dit is het blok van januari. Denk dat ik dit weekend ook nog het volgende blok ga voorbereiden. Het is weer quiltathon, dus moet druk bezig zijn, maar dat wil nog niet echt lukken. Gelukkig weet ik waar het aan ligt hoe ik me voel.

This week I got in a layercake from beachhouse and some yardage from Nature´s Chorus to get started on this BOM. This is the block from january, so still 3 to go to get up to date, but hope to do another block this weekend.

Busy

Begin dit jaar heb ik besloten dat het een jaar werd om oude werken af te maken en ik moet zeggen tot nu toe gaat het erg goed. Inmiddels heb ik 6 oude werken afgewerkt. Mijn moeder is nu mijn hexagonquilt aan het quilten en waarschijnlijk ook nog ombiezen, dus ik denk dat in een maand of 2 die ook wel af zal zijn , mijn moeders snelheid kennende. Verder vanavond de luierhangers afgewerkt, ik moest nog steeds het karton voor de onderkant stofferen en dat heb ik nu gedaan. Ik moet nu alleen nog 1 roze afmaken.

I decided at the beginning of this year that it would be a year of finish old things and I am doing great on that. I already have finished Cat's Paw, Lentekriebels, Be Gentle, Christmas wave, Nature's Trail and the dancing goose. So 6 oldies are already finished. Than today I also finished the diaper hangers. I just had to to the finishing on the hard bottoms and so I did this evening. Only one of the 4 I made still needs to have a little sewing on it. Hope to do that also the coming days. So 3 more finishes for me. Yeah!!

Ik probeer op dit moment gewicht te verliezen al sinds dat ik in de rolstoel heb gezeten, was in de rolstoel ook al afgevallen en heb dat daarna volgehouden. Ik doe het door minder te eten en meer te bewegen. Ik zwem elke woensdagmiddag 1 km (40 banen), maar vandaag was het zulk heerlijk weer dat ik heerlijk heb gefietst, 32 km, was een heerlijk tochtje. Helaas wel wat verbrandt. Ik heb gisteren en vandaag er weer 20 blokken bijgemaakt bij mijn nature's chorus quilt (naam nog te verzinnen).

I am trying to loose some weight and that is going great. I am now always swimming 1 km on wednesdays (my day off), but as weather was great here today I deciced to go an jump on my bike for some exercise and so I did do 32 km's this afternoon. It was a very nice ride. Also have sewed 20 more blocks on the nature's Chorus quilt.

Stashbusting report week 15

Well it was a very good week as I used fabric for the backing on the gooses and the romantic stripquilt. So I am finally using more than that comes in, but naughty me did do an order for a new quilt I am going to start.
Also in my last post I said I would be buying fabric for the binding, but well that doesn't really work on the stashbusting, so I used some fabric from my stash instead. Binding is on now, just have to do the handpart on it.

Fabric in this week: 0 meter
Fabric in this year: 25.35 meter

Fabric out this week: 5.50 meter
Fabric out this year: 29.55 meter

An exchange and an almost finish

Last week I received a beautifull exchange from Ruth. It is the spring swap. I just love the pillowcases she made me. Thanks Ruth.

This week I have also been quilting on this one. It is an UFO and just needs to be finished. I just have to get some fabric for the binding and than I can finish it. Probaly will go to my LQS tuesday.

What I have been doing

Well what have I been up to these past week. I have been stitching on Little red riding hood and finished another page. So now 25 are finished and 26 is also going great and will be finished soon.
I am very pleased with how it is looking.
Than I am also working on the new jellyroll quilt and just to let you see how it looks so far. Here a pic with a few blocks. So far I finished 7 snowball blocks and 9 ninepatch blocks.

Stashbusting week 14

Great stashbusting week and I am almost in the positive now that I used more than added. There came in some stash this week, but it wasn't for me but for my mother. So no stash added for me.
Than the stash out, well had a great stashbust as I busted a lot for my new jellyrollquilt in which I use also charmpacks. It is with the Nature's Chorus line and done with ninpatches and snowballblocks. I am thinking about using the layer cake I have from this line for some applique in the snowball blocks, but haven't decided yet. First will be making all the blocks and after that I will see what I will be doing with the snowballs. Will have to bust big time the coming months as in June there will be coming in a lot of fabric as I will be attending the 2009 designer mysterie BOM at the fattquartershop and I have ordered the backing and assembling kit too, so well lots of fabric coming that month. I have planned already some new things to start and also to finish.

Fabric in this week: 0 meter
Fabric in this year: 25.35 meter

Fabric out this week: 5.30 meter
Fabric out this year: 24.05 meter

And yes I am really seeing a little hole getting in my stash LOL.

Some new blocks

What have I been doing the past days. Well on monday I made these 3 little pinwheels (3"inch) for my 1930 quilt.
I really love working on this quilt and so yesterday I sewed another block with lots of applique and I am loving applique every day a little more, may one day I will make a huge applique quilt.
Today I wrapped the gifts for my spring swap and tomorrow I will put the whole package in the mail. I hope when it arrives at it's new owner in a few days I hope she will like it.
At the moment my brother is in the USA (Milwaukee) and as the new book of Jennifer Chiaverini came out this week he will bring it with him. Yeah I am very happy with my brother.
