Windmill block,

Remember this?



from a post in september?

This block has been laying around here and there in my crafting area waiting to become a pillow or a quilt or... I don't know what.

Until yesterday

When I just knew the right perpose for this block,

A new Dutch windmill bag!



I searched all the fabrics and locked myself up in the my crafting room and started sewing. This the result.




Do you like it?

Wel I can't stay in my craftingroom so now it's time to focus on the household and family area... it is weekend after all!

And do not want to have grumpy people around me.

So have a good weekend everyone

More houses,

Yes, now I really am in real estate,



In this street I put up two houses for sale,



One with lovely blue frames and a sweet front garden with pink flowers.



And the one with the dark purple frames, the lovely garden with red flowers and a small blue postbox!

So if you are in search of a new home.... come and visit my street!



Groetjes

For someone special,

Hi everyone, I have been sewing and quilting and now it's finished!



It is a gift for a very special person, she's very creative, a great story teller, a very generous person and has a great blog!
She gave me the fabrics to make the large quilt!




And from the very last scraps I made a few pincushions,



Dear Elizabeth this miniquilt is comming your way (I hope you like it).

Groetjes,

Little quilt,

With the scraps from my last quilt I'm making a little quilt,



And with all the kids being out at the moment... I'm going to use my time sewing this little quilt! Hope to show the result soon!

Enjoy your sunday!

Finished quilt

This afternoon I finished this quilt,



I love to handquilt, here the backside..



The quilt is great in the kitchen or on top of the other quilts,



Now I do have some scrabs left... hope I can make a mini quilt out of it!

Rood met witte stippen...

My Ria brought these shoes for me from Spain,



They are a gift for little Luca when she turns two. Luckely it'll take 9 months before that happens, so I can look at them for a long time!

It seems these are the polka dot days here and at school, have a look,



Polka dots on the table. (Today I hope to finish this quilt, so it stays on the kitchen table and every free minute can be spend useful.)

And polka dots in our class,



The season table



painting,



felting and folding

And of course, can't live without polka dots fabric!



Well, I'm of now to do a few more stitches on the quilt, before my son is home for lunch.
Next post you'll see it finished!

Thrift shopping,

Oh how time passes by so quickly! before you know another week has started.

This mornig we went thriftshopping and found this,



And a lovely book from 1957 with all kind of nice carpenter ideas,



(I don't think anyone is ever going to make a thing, but I love the 50s pictures!)



And who is making all thes lovely ideas...



Yes the handy father while smoking a pipe!

And since I'm not a carpenter I'll stick to do some quilting



Have a good start of the week everyone,

Rainy day

It's a rainy day, ideal sewing time!
I managed to finish the quilttop,



And between the rain periods I was able to take a few pictures.



Now I need to find fabric for the back,
think I'll go shopping at my mom's attic...so I can spend rainy evenings sitting in an easy chair, near the woodstove, and quilt!

Sewing, blogging again

Yes I'm blogging again. This last week it seemed I couldn't get near my laptop. I don't know mabye it had something to do with my pfaffie being away. Anyway I have some catching up to do and read all your beautifull posts from last week,



But Pfaffie is back from the treatment disturbs and ready to get started!!
First there were a few repearing jobs to do... before we can start with these quilt fabrics I got from Elizabeth



I'm using all 30s fabrics in this quilt.



I did take the liberty to change the pattern a bit, that came with it.
Now I cant wait to get this quilt finished, it will look so cheerful in our kitchen!

Oke, I'm off now, to sew this new quilt.. or.. no.. and to catch up reading blogs!
Guess I need more hours in a day!

See you soon,
