New camping plates and dishes in bright colors,
It happens al the time, I go shopping for one thing and come home with something completely different. My dh. always wonders how I do it.
Anyway in the thriftshop I found this strange thing,
A hairdressers jacket, ( is that the right name for it?) 'Kapmantel' from the sixties. It looks lovely embroidered.
Remember this one?
It has been waiting to be finished for a few weeks now. I guess I just didn't find the right fabric for the border. I'm happy to have found it now.
Between the border and the patches I sewed a little vintage ribbon. It gives this quilt just the little finishing touch.
And I almost finished handquilting the mini quilt.
It's fun to work on the miniquilt and it is finished much faster as I thought... maby I'll make an extra one for the shop!
Have a good week everyone,
Heleen

Heleen, Your quilts are beautiful-as always. I've never heard of a hairdresser's jacket. That almost looks like a Christmas tree skirt to me.
Herkenbaar hoor , ik kom ook bijna altijd met iets anders thuis dan geplanned, maar ja als je iets leuks tegenkomt , kun je het maar beter meenemen , toch.
Mijn moeder deed ook altijd zo'n kapmanteltje om . Mooi om het op deze manier te kunnen hergebruiken.
Prachtig je camping servies! En je kapmanteltje....pure nostalgie. Ik had zo'n nylon kapmanteltje met een kantje afgezet, een hartewens die Sinterklaas vervulde. Ik speelde er vooral prinses mee! Ach beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Mooi camping dishes, so colourful and cheery. the kapmantel isn't used much in North America, except for ones made from organza for the 'old' ladies when they just had a wash and set...no cutting. Sure is nicer then the rubber heavy ones they still sometimes use in Holland.
I love the molen quilt, typische Nederlands! Is the molen a pattern or your original thinking?
groetjes!
Love the new camping plates - the flowers and gingham trim make them so cheerful - i would want to use them everyday! Your latest quilt is looking gorgeous, and the hairdressers cape was a brilliant find.
What a lovely cape for hair cutting. And your quilts are so beautiful. I especially love the dutch one. Cherrie

Those plates and dishes are beautiful! They look too nice for camping. I would want to use them everyday.
Ik hou van de kleuren van je camping dishes! Héél vrolijk en mooi! Ik heb dezelfde met winkelen: Ik ga iets specifieks kopen maar dan koop ik altijd andere dingen kie ik niet nodig heb ;-)
Oeps! Ik bedoelde 'die' en niet 'kie' ;-)
*swoon* your finds are always the sweetest!
How could anyone resist that camping crockery! It's gorgeous. You can try for a chair another day and see what you find ;-D
