Fabrics

This week I received thse beautifull fabrics. I bought them as a birthdaypresent for myself. There also has to come a jellyroll, but that is probaly in another envelope and is taking a longer way :-)

Some asked if my dad did again all the cutting on the quilt that my mother made and yes he did.

Today I got in Carol's Quilt Round Robin and well inspiration came instantly and I know what to do on it, it will be an applique round this time.

Quilt that my mother made

I have a learned my mother a few years back how to quilt and it looks like I learned her very good. Isn't it a beautifull logcabin.

6 march we are going to baste it at my LQS. She will be handquilting it.

I learned her quilting a lot through phone as we don't live close, she never followed a quiltingclass, so yes she is my perfect student.

This one comes from the magazine magic patch.

Had a great birthday

Yesterday I had my birthday and I am really spoiled, more pics will follow later this week, but this is what I received from Chris for the stitching bloggers birthdayclub. I just love the bag she made very much. I will love it forever.

fabrics

This evening I received a envelope from webfabrics with the fabrics I ordered for my Strawberry lemonade quilt. It is the yardage for the borders. I already have a few charmpacks.

The flower one will be a wide border and the other one will be a smalle one and maybe also the binding.

SBS A 9

And here is another block. Only one more block till this first row of blocks is finished.

A 8

Here is another SBS block. This morning I had a quilting course and I will be making gooses, but well a pic will have to wait for a few weeks as there is nothing to see yet.

Received some mail

well already a few days ago. First I think even more than a week ago I received mail from Anne with two charts in it. I did know the package was coming and love both of them. I won both in a draw. Than a few days ago I received a birthdaypackage from Carol and I wasn't feeling very well these past days I decided it was opening time. I received the kit for Mother's love needleroll from Sheperd's Bush.

Thanks to both you ladies.

Leanne's Journey of a quilter block 4

I finished the stitcherie on this one last night and I have to say I just love this quilt very much. Block 7 is already sewed, so I can work on that one next month.
Now I am back at stitching on Nature's Home Afghan block 24 if I am correct.
Our neighborhood rr had a glinch due to Lauren not sending any pieces anymore and not responding to e-mails she has two pieces in her pocession that are'nt hers Katrina's and Michelle's. Now they both have to make up another round robin and I will be getting Michelle's in two weeks and will hae to send in 3 to 4 weeks from now and the deadline falls together with my quiltingretreat, so well that will be tight. She has a halloween/harvest theme if Iam correct and that will be lovely to stitch as that is one of my favorite seasons.
Katrina's will than come around the time I need to send Michelle's to Erin and that needs to be finished the 15 of April, I am hoping than Erin won't mind if I send Annemarie's a long as the sending date for that one is in the middle of my vacation. Lucky me it is already stitched.

Horrible day

I just had a horrible day due to my hormones going crazy as it is almost that time of the month. I am stitching busyly on block 4 of Journey of a quilter and will finish tonight. I also traced all the bees and bears stitcheries, so that I can work on them the next days, but NHA also needs some stitching time, I want at least another block finished, probaly some tree.

Here is a quilt I have been making lately, now only find time to quilt. It was first for a friend, but I decided it was for me instead. I have some charmsquares left and also some yardage, so that will be probaly be used for another bigger quilt also for me.

Yesterday I bought some yardage for my strawberry lemonade quilt, I had already some charmpacks. Today I bought some charmpacks, a jellyroll and some yardage from Zaza fabric line from Moda. I already have an idea in my head for that fabric.

Some more stitcheries

Yeah I am busy with them, but now I first have to trace the next one, which I will do tomorrow by daylight.

Oops I now I see I cut of the left part of the pic.

Enjoy.

Another new quilt

In May I am getting a new nephew or niece and I am going to make a quilt for her/him. It will be with 11 stitchries and put together by ninepatches. These are the first two stitcheries.

I am also busy with block 4 of Journey of a quilter. Hope to show that one this weekend. Also I will be sewing A-8 of SBS, start the box for RoseMarie and maybe even do the finishing on the teatime exchange.

Annemarie's rr and a-7

Here is Annemarie's Round Robin. I stitched her Bent Creeks autumn snapperland the last two pieces. I loved stitching on this one very much. I like her Round Robin very much.

Than today I also worked on A-7 from Sylivia's Bridal sampler. Loved making this block very much. This week I will be cutting for the next block probaly, but first I decided I will do the stitchery of block 4 of Journey of a Quilter. I plan to do one of those blocks a month and than in 8 months I will have all blocks done. When I have time left I will work on the BOM from my LQS and a mysterie I am still busy with. Yes I have made some plans for the coming months. This month I also have to finish a box for someone and I am busy stitching my tea time exchange which looks lovely already.

I received the chart as a gift more than 5 years ago and now saw an oppertunity to stitch it. Hope my partner will like it.

A4 finished

Today I finished the applique on Sylvia's Bridal sampler block A-4. I know there has to go another more smaller round on the red one, but well did like it this way and maybe I will stitch something as the middle. I think I only will decide in the end.

Next block to make is A-7 I will make that one tomorrow as I have a full week in front of me and I will just gladly sit on the sofa when I am home.

Annemarie's Round Robin is also finished, will make a pic tomorrow and put it than on here together with a-7.

Than I will be stitching on the tea time exchange.

2 other blocks and a wip block

Well yesterday I have been busy with the SBS and now I have finished A 5 and A 6, on A 4 I still have to do a bit of applique, which I will do tomorrow. Now I have to go and cut the pieces for A7 and than I can go and work on it next week.

She has already done 6 blocks, so I have to go hurry and finish 6 of them. So we can start next week with block 7.

Some finishes and some mail

Well first I received a beautifull fob from Shelley. I just love it, but I can't get a proper pic f it. It is Queen Anne's Lace from The cats Whiskers, she changed the colors. I also received the chart Queen of the needle from Just nan from her. I will be stitching hopefully this chart soon.

Yesterday I finished block 23 of Nature's Home Afghan so I could finally make a pic of the 3 blocks I stitched already this year. Only 6 more to go from which wo are big and 4 small.

Now I am busy with Annemarie's Neighborhood Round Robin. I am stitching part of Autumn snapperland from Bent Creek on her Round Robin.

This weekend I also got fabric for a quilt I am going to make with Roman Holiday fabrics, I already had bought some charmpacks and I also bought now to fabrics with it.

From a for me new shop and well I have to say excellent service.

Also decided that the Nature Trails quilt will stay at my place. I already basted it. Now I have to go and quilt it. Pic will follow probaly when it is finished in a few weeks.

Mailman was busy

My mailman got a load of mail for me. I heard him doing it in three time in my mailbox otherwise it wouldn't fit.

There was already a second envelope for my birthday and I have put it away till the 25th. Than I had to decide what to open first. Well one I felt at the envelope and I knew that was my winter doll quilt, so I just had to open the package from Cathy as that was something I didn't expect and when I opened it I found the Gratefull heart exchange. This exchange was run already at the end of august beginning of September, but I never got something, my original partner never send, so Cathy made me a replacement. She made this gorgeous Hardanger Heart and also a few lovely goodies which I like all. The fabric is gorgeous also the chart and floss is very yummie. Thanks Cathy for this beautifull exchange. I have to say I felt a little emotional, because sje thought of me. A few big kisses for you.

Than I really had to go and open the other package. As I said I was almost certain that it was the winter doll quilt and off course it was. I got a beautifull quilt from Paula. Love the look of it very much. It is totally my thing. Also got a pattern to make aprons and a bunch of DMC which I always can use. I already am thinking about making the apron.

Today I also got my name for the "Here's to ewe" exchange, already received the tea time exchange a week ago so I can go and work on both of them soon, but first I really have to finish my NHA block and it is really almost finished. Thank only 6 more to go.

Fob exchange

Today I heard from Dawn that the scissorfob I stitched for her arrived at her place. It is butterfly fob from The needle's Content. I love stitching her designs. Also included some silks that can be viewed on Dawn her site and a postcard of my city.
Yesterday evening I had sewing class and my skirt is almost finished. Also I hope to finish my next block on NHA tomorrow or maybe even tonight.

Here is something

Yeah just to show you I really am doing something, this is an Round Robin and the last corners are from me, after the dark fabric small border. I had to put in off point and now I have to do the peieced border on this one, already decided what to do, just have to go and sew.

Tomorrow evening I hope to baste a another quilt, so I can quilt it and send it out, it will be late at the receiver, but as she doesn't know she will be receiving anything it won't be a problem.

Today I heard my first birthdaypackage was send, so I have something to look forward to the coming weeks. Also the doll quilt is in the mail to me and I will also be receiving a scissorfon from the exchange, so my mailbox will be loaded. And yesterday I bought two fabrics from Roman Holiday from Moda to make another charm pack quilt, maybe for me, maybe for my mother, maybe for someone else.

new patterns

Well I am working very hard on a quilt and am stitching like cray on Nature's Homae Afghan, when this block is finished I will make a pic to show them. Also got my teatime exchange partner and now I have to choose what to stitch. This week also Annemarie her RR came in the mail and I decided what to stitch, now I just have to go and stitch it. Also decided what to do on Connie's quilt RR and hope to work on that one this weekend. All 3 have a deadline in the first two weeks in March, so I have to spread it a bit, set some priorities.

On the pic you see two patterns that I bought here, when you clcok on-linestore you can read it in english and french. They are two miniquilts, "Flowerfestival" and "where in my body". They are planned to work on some time soon.
