November schnibbles

Yesterday evening I finished my november schnibbles, as soon as I finished the october one, as slow I am with the november one. It wasn't my favourite, not totally happy with the result as it is very red (I think). May be I will add another border to it when I have looked at it very long and can decided which fabric will look great with it, but maybe I will leave it this way.

SSCS and more

Well my sscs gift is send and here is the pic of it.

LOL that is all I will be showing of it till after christmas. Loved working on the gift.

I decided to partipate in Bonnie's next mysterie, the carolina christmas. I already picked out my fabrics, very scrappy, had big problems finding the right colors gold and big enough pieces. Looking forward to see how it will look like when finished.
Than I am also busy with the november schnibbles, which I only have to add the sashings too and the border, won't do it according to the pattern. A pic of the finished top will follow later this week.

Monthly update of lttile red riding hood

She is growing fantastic. This month I have finished 2 pages, but I also have stitched on another piece, so two pages is not bad at all. And do you she HER, there she is little red riding hood, showing her face.

Also in the coming month there will be a giveaway on this blog as I am up to 700 posts and also I am posting here for 4 years next month. If you are on my follower list on the left of the page you will get one more entry on winning, but I will explain more in the coming weeks. It will be a big stitched piece from me (no not little red riding hood), one that I finished a few years back, only left for you to do when you win it is framing it.

Yesterday evening I finally started on my picnic quilt and I did already do all the pieces for the baskets, now I have to cut the sashings and the border and than start to do the assembling.

Well like you can see I have been very busy. Later I will change my sewingroom back into a quiltingroom. I am not totally happy with the light blue one, so that one maybe will change or I maybe I will make two dark blue ones.

But first it is time to work on my sscs gift.

stashreport week 45

Nothing in , nothing out as I only worked on cloths, hope something will go out this week.

I am still busy

I am very busy with making cloths. Here are two sweaters and a little two sided panties. I just love making these little cloths. I am now busy with a shirt and two jeans. Pics will follow soon.

I am a winner

I am a very happy girl. I read on Sherri her blog from the year of schnibbles that I won a prize, it is a panel from Fabulous fall with coordinating fabrics. I will show the prize when it will arrive.
Than today when I was at my work I saw on our webpage from the hospital that there were tickets for the musical Chigaco, two for the price of one and as we are married for 9 years this weekend. I decided to do it and order them. So we will have a nice evening in two weeks.
Hope it will be as good or better than Mamma Mia, where we were at the end of September, also with tickets from my work.
I really have to go now and work on the cloths.

Two baby jackets

Did you see the parade of schnibbles. I just love the look of them all. Next one is Picnic. I have the pattern and the fabric line that is in line to get used is Winter. Looking forward to see how that one will look when finished.

Today I have been working on both these jackets. They went together very fast and also I think they came out very nice. Next to make are two sweaters. Fabric is cut already, now only the sewing is there to do.

stashbustingreport week 44

Well nothing came in this week and nothing went out this week. Isn't that great, lol well at least that nothing came in. There will be a bust the coming week for sure.

The perfect jeans....

or at least "Knip magazine" says so and I have to agree with them. Only the front is not perfect, a bit leftover fabric there, but that can also be my sewing and not the pattern. Done with my lockmachine and sewing machine.

Next is sewing cloths for two babyboys. Pics will probaly follow tomorrow.

stashbusting report week 43

A very good report for this week. Only the new bom block came in and I used 5 meter of backing for my gobble quilt, which I should be quilting soon.
There are no orders coming in, but this week will also not be filled with quilting stuff as I plan to work on some cloths. So probaly not will there be a lot happening on the stashbusting front. But I plan to make fabric selections for my sscs gift that has to be made soon and for a quilt for my colleague.

Little red riding hood

I had big problems to take it out of my q-snaps to make the picture as I am just addicted, but had to do my monthly update. I have finished 4!!!! pages this month. I think I am crazy for sure to stitch that much. Am curious how many pages will be finished next month.

a new top finished

I finished the top of my gobble gobble quilt. It is by the pattern sweet escape from Miss Rosie and uses 2 layer cakes and a bit of yardage. I did it with Gobble Gobble. I love how it came out.

Next is to finish the top of 40T.

A finish

Due to my mother Good Fortune was finished last weekend. She has hand quilted it for me and also put the binding on it. I love my mother very much. Thanks Mom!!!. I love how it turned out very much. She has done a really good job on it and now Cindy Lou Who is with her to get quilted. I am sure I will get it back soon. She is a very fast quilter.

Than another quilt which I think I will not finish totally as my cat loves all quilts that have no binding on it. The quilting is already finished for a few days, but my cat never lets have it to put on the binding.

Tomorrow I am almost sure I will show a new top as my gobble gobble quilt is going really great. I think it is now 3/4 finished. Also Little red riding hood is growing fast, 3 pages finished for this month already.

stashbusting report week 41

Oops don't want to talk about it, but most of it is for backings, also a quilt for my colleague and some charmpacks with yardage.

Oktober Schnibbles

This weekend I took the fabric for the oktober schnibbles with me to Nieuwkerke to cut everything, so that I could sew it when I came home. But Lutgart was so nice to let me use her sewing machine and so the top was finished on Saturday already. Now just have to see how to quilt it. It is done with two charmpacks from fig and plum and some yardage.

The Gobble Gobble quilt is also going great. Yesterday I finished the first 3 blocks.

Quilting retreat

Tomorrow I will hop in the car and go to Nieuwkerke in Belgium to this house with 20 other woman from the Netherlands and Belgium. I am sure we will have a lot of fun. I hope to show a lot on monday, hope to have cut everything for two new quilts than, that only sewing is there to do for both and off course both are miss rosies quilt co. patterns.

The new quilt will be Cindy Lou Who. I will do this one with Fig and Plum. Hope it will look good in the end, we will see I hope soon.

Than this week I have been sewing on the next BOM block. I am very late in making it, well at least for me. Hope the next one will be done sooner.

And here the other quilt I will be cutting this weekend, which is sweet escape with Gobble Gobble fabrics.

Than I am very sad to say, but it is the first time I am really late for an exchange, but life has been so busy that I haven't had time to go to the postoffice, I will put in some extra's. I hope she will like the little bag I made for her.

stashreport week 39

There came some yardage in from Mill house inn and some patterns from miss rosie (schnibbles). Also I made an exchange which used some yardage from my stash. I had hoped to do the bom block and the binding on my snowballs and ninepatches quilt, but I still have to do some quilting on it.

But first I have to go and finish my exchange piece.

stashrepot week 38

Well not a great week at all as I only received stash and didn't bust anything. Astor Manor came in during my vacation and yardage for the somerset charmpacks and saturday BOM block 4 arrived. Hope to make that one today, so that will be a bust for next week and also I have to use some fabbies for the exchange I mentioned in my last post.
If I am a brave girls this week my last order for the year will come in and than only the bom blocks will arrive. Hope I will be a good girl.

Monthly stitching update

This past month I have been stitching again on Little Red riding hood off course, but more about that later in this post. First I want to show a finish. It is spring from Bent Creek. It is for an exchange, but I am almost sure she doesn't read my blog. I loved stitching it very much, because it was nice to do something differest than Little riding hood. It will be finished probaly in a bag.

Than off course you are waiting for the pic of little red riding hood and here it is. 36 pages finished, so only 20 to go (LOL). When I go on like this and don't count that therea few small pages still to do, than it will be finished in 10 months, but when I count the little pages less than I think maybe it can be even finished this year, but that is very wishfull thinking of me. We will see what happens.

working on my schnibbles

Thess past two days I have been working on Winter white (roman white) and I just finished the top. I hoped to quilt it tomorrow and do the binding, but now I have to work due to a sick colleague, so if it will be finished tomorrow I am not sure yet.

Loved doing this pattern very much. Not to much cutting going on.

And a pic of me being very happy to make it to the top of a hill/mountain (200 meters).

stashbusting report week 36

Well a good week as I busted some stash for the year of schnibbles, the pattern this month is winter white and I am using Roman holiday.
Also a package of charmpacks and yardage came in. For Somerset Cottage I already ordered yardage and as soon as the mill house inn yardage comes in I will be ordering that too. And well Astor Manor precuts arrived at the fatquartershop and I just couldn't resist that line when I saw it the first time and reserved already a fqbundle. So well this is not good for the busting, Rouenneries I am still thinking about to buy some charmpacks or not when the line will arrive. Probaly not, as that is not good for the stashbusting at all.

Fabrics, lots of fabrics

Today we got to know the first pattern in the year of schnibbles. It is Winter white and I have to say it is one I like very much and as far as I can see not a lot of cutting on it, like you have with some of the other ones. I will be doing it in Roman Holiday as I decided I already had these charmpack in my home the longest and they really needed to be used by now. I have picked some cream background fabric for the flying geese blocks as I think the blue one will not work for that. I think the blue will be the backing for the quilt and the yellow for the outside border.
Today the PO box was filled with my mail. There were charmpacks and yardage from Flourish and charmpacks from Mill house inn and Somerset cottage. Today also ordered some yardage for somerset cottage. Those charmpacks probaly won't be used till next year.
Also got some fabrics in from de stoffenkraam for the future baby of my colleague and a fabric for my niece. These will be cloths this year.

SSCS (a little help for my partner)

Well I just couldn't resist to participate again in this exchange despite the dissapointment last year with Cindy never sending me a thank you message or showing the gifts on her blog. Well that was last year and this is a new year.

Just looking forward to making something for my new partner. No ideas yet and I didn't know her blog yet, but love reading it already.

I thought let's help the person who has me a little bit and give her a little list of thinks I like:

I love traditional patterns. I love items I can use like bags, pincushions, etc. My favorite colors are not bright, but rustique. Love blue the most, but fall colors like in Gobble Gobble are also favorites of mine.

A new club

I just joined this new club . It is about schnibbles which are the little quilt patterns I just love to make. I have made two now and just am in love with them and you can even win something at the end of each month.

Just go here and sign up. You can find some of the patterns here. I have a lot of them and also a lot of charmpacks with some yardage (just ordered some more (naughty me)

Also finally started this kit. Just had problems cutting in those beautifull fq's. I have cut the background fabric so far. Hope to do some more tonight as the last days were just to warm to do anything.

What I have been working on

Ja, ik heb niet echt stil gezeten de afgelopen weken. Ik heb veel geborduurd aan roodkapje en heb weer 2 pagina's af sinds de foto een maand geleden.Yeah I haven't sit still these past week. I have been stitching on Little red riding hood a lot and I have finished another 2 pages since the last pic a month ago.

Deze laatste week heb ik aan de mysterie designer bom gewerkt en een groot deel van de finishing kit is al klaar en ook het derde blok wat vandaag in de postbus zat is klaar.

This past week I have been working on the mysterie designer BOM and today I got block 3 in the mail and it is finished already.

Stashbusting report week 33

Yes I have been busting again. I started the finishing kit for the mysterie desiner bom and I am going very fast with it. Hope to have some sewing time again this coming week as the last 3 days were very busy with other things. Today I will just rest a bit.
Nothing came in, but I have a few orders coming in. 20 half yards in white and cream for some quilt I need some backgrounds for and I don't have any background fabric at all at the moment. So probaly will use them soon. Than an order for gobble gobble (2 layercakes and a bit of yardage for a miss rosie pattern). And block 3 of the mysterie designer bom. But lucky me that still all has to come in. But when I will have a bust also this week I will have still used more than came in and I have a bust in mind.

stashbusting report week 32

First don't forget the giveaway in this post still running till wednesday. I am giving away a jellyroll and that is always nice to have in the house for future quilts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Than the report. Well it is a very good one for me. I have used a backing, 2 bindings and two jellyrolls. One jellyroll for the give away and one as a present for my mother's birthday. That is 13 meters in total. Not bad at all and another big bust is going to happen next week, but I have a big problem as Gobble Gobble is really tempting me to buy it. I am not sure if I can keep it in the store for much longer.

A finish and a round robin back home

First let me remind you to not forget the giveaway in the last post. Still more than enough time to sign up for it. You can do so much with a jelly roll.

Than next I have finished my romantic strip quilt tuesday. I finally decided on how to quilt it. I have done it in a circle pattern and it is made by using a jelly roll from Harvest Home and a bit of yardage.

I love how it looks very much and am a very happy person, but that is also due to me getting back my spring fling round robin finished. The centerwas made by me, the first border by Chelsea, the second border by Trish and the quilting is done by Tami. Thank you girls it is beautifull.

Jelly Roll Give away!!!

I was thinking already for some time about a giveaway and due to me having two time the patterns for Tag Sale en Sweet Emma Rose from Rosie's Quilt Co. I decided to give them away together with a jellyroll from Zaza Here you see a bit how the fabric line is. You have until august 12 till noon to leave a comment before I draw a name . Good luck.
Ik zat al een tijdje te denken over een giveaway en doordat ik Tag Sale en Sweet Emma Rose van Miss Rosie's quiltco per ongeluk dubbel heb. Geef ik beide patronen weg en een zaza jellyroll. Hier zie je hoe de Zaza stoffenlijn eruit zien. Je kunt tot 12 augustus 12 uur een reactie achter laten op mijn blog en ik zal daarna laten weten wie gewonnen heeft. Succes.

Top finished

Vandaag heb ik deze top afgekregen. Hij bestaat uit 117 blokjes, 58 snowballs en 59 ninepatches. Ik heb niet genoeg stof voor een rand er langs, dus het moet hem zo maar worden. Ben zeer tevreden. Zodra de vulling binnen is ga ik hem sandwichen en quilten.

Today I finished this top. It has a total of 117 blocks in it. 58 snowballs and 59 ninepatches. I don't have enough fabric for a border, so it will stay like this. As soon as the batting comes in this week I will sandwich and quilt it.

stashbusting report week 31

The good news nothing came in and also no order on the way, The bad news is nothing went out and well that is not what needs to happen when you are busting fabrics, but next week there will be a good bust. Watch this blog.

Newest finish

Ik heb deze van de week afgemaakt, hij lag inmiddels al sinds voor de vakantie op de bies te wachten en van de week heb ik dat dan ook gedaan. Ik heb hem helemaal (inclusief de achterkant) van 1 charmpack en iets van een halve meter extra stof, voor lichte stroken en bies, gemaakt. Vandaag ook nog mijn doel gehaald en alle 59 snowball blokken gemaakt voor een andere quilt met nature's chorus stoffen, maardan van een jellyroll en 2 charmpacks.Morgen hopelijk alle ninepatches en dan de top in elkaar zetten.

I finished this one already tuesday evening, but just didn't have time to take a pic. I have made this one from one charmpack (inclusive the back) and a bit of yardage not more than half a meter. Also made my goal today as I finished the 59 snowball blocks for another quilt, now only 58 ninepatches to go. More later.

Finished some cloths

Druk bezig geweest het weekend met een nieuw setje voor de toekomstige baby van een collegaatje. Het is Dwergenverpakking van farbenmix en makkelijk om te maken met een leuk resultaat. Misschien dat ik het zachte broekje van het patroon ook nog maak. Ik heb nog een fuchsia met witte stippen bijpassend aan de tricot van het shirt. Eventjes kijken nog. Ik denk dat ik eerst weer even aan een quilt ga werken. Wil er deze week eigenlijk nog 1 af hebben waar ik alleen het biesje nog van moet doen.

I have been busy sewing cloths this past weekend and just finished the last part. It is from farbenmix, the Zwergencollection. Easy to do with a very nice result. Now I want to work on a quilt which only needs the binding to be done and as it is a very little quilt it will be done soon.

Stashbustingreport week 30

Well not a lot to report. Block 2 of the mysterie designer BOM came in and I sewed it right away when it came in.

Fabric out week 30: 0.25 meter

Next week I hope to make a bust with the bag pattern I bought last weekend and maybe a backing or binding, depends on how fast I am going on the cloths I am making at the moment.

And the last one I worked on

On this one I have done the quilting and finishing.

Block 2 finished

Vandaag lag het tweede blok van de mysterie designer bom 2009 in de postbus, helaas moest ik wachten tot John met de envelop thuis kwam Gelukkig was hij niet al te laat thuis voor zijn doen. Na het eten gelijk begonnen en nu is het blok al klaar. Goede beschrijving en erg leuk om te doen. Nu alleen heb ik moeilijkheden om te beslissen wat ik ga doen

A: Gelijk de finishing kit beginnen zodat ik over 10 maanden bijna gelijk klaar ben, want ik kan dan de blokken er telkens tussen zetten als ze binnen komen.

B wachten tot het eind dus over 10 maanden en dan maar hopen dat ik er gelijk aan ga beginnen en dan zal het toch nog wel een paar weken duren eer hij daarna af is.

Wat vinden jullie?

Today I got the second block in the mail from the Mysterie designer BOM 2009 and I just had to make it right away. I just love the block. Now I am trying to decide to

A: start already the finishing kit so that I will have it finished right away when in 10 months I will receive the last month and can join the blocks as they come in and probaly this way it will surely be finished

B: Start the finishing kit when I have received the last block in 10 months and it will take another month to have it finished and I have to feel like doing it.

What do you think?

Another one I worked on

and returned home. I did the last border. It was a hard one to decide on the border http://springflingroundrobin2008.blogspot.com/2009/07/heres-mine.html

A finished set and Little red riding hood update

De laatste dagen ben ik druk bezig geweest met de Lore van Farbenmix. Ik vond hem erg leuk om te maken en ben erg blij met het resultaat. Morgen doe ik hem denk ik op de bus naar mijn broer, want dan kan Anouk hem nog op de vakantie aan.

These past days I have been working on the Lore from Farbenmix. It is for my little niece and I will probaly put it in the mail tomorrow as they will be leaving on vacation next week and she can wear it than.

Ook maar weer eens een update van roodkapje. Ze schiet heerlijk op, 3/4 is in zicht nu. Ik heb nu geloof ik iets van 31 pagina's af nu, dus nog 25 te gaan.

Also an update of Little red riding hood. I have now 31 pages finished probaly of the 56, so now I am on the road for the 3/4 mark.

Vanavond heb ik blok L3 van de SBS quilt in elkaar gezet. Leuk blok, niet al te moeilijk.

Tonight I sewed a new block of the SBS quilt. It is block L3.
