Brr,

We are having a few cold spring days here.
But the postman brought us,
Corry and me this heartwarming gift,



Karina
made for each of us this sweet embroidered heart.
And also a beautiful printed linnen from her country,



Dear Karina thank you so much!

Bought these new fabrics for another little Dutch quilt.



Although I better finish this one first!




Wish you all a lovely warm day,

Great christmas,

We just had some great christmas days! We enjoyed the warm company of family while we had a great meal and a good glas of wine! Today we are in a bit of an afterglow atmosphere. Watching some tv and hanging on the couch close by the fire.




And in moments like these I can't sit still... so I made this quilted and embroidered pillow! It matches great with the quilt.

Enjoy your day,

Almost christmas,

The quilting is and the binding are done.
This quilt is ready for the shop!



I like how this red and white Dutch fabric quilt turned out.
What do you think?



Everyone had so much fun in the snow these last few days... I hope it wil not melt before christmas. It will be so great to have a white christmas!



Of course there are a lot of preparations to do,



Cleaning the house, washing and ironing, christmas shopping and yummie cooking!

Good christmas preparations everyone!

Red and white update,

The top is finished and I'm ready to start quilting,



All I need now is enough time this (busy)weekend to do some quilting and to finsh the bag!



So I hope to make another update before monday!

Groetjes.

Red and white,

Nothing special going on today.

Just doing some sewing with the red and white fabrics...



Have a good day everyone,

A good day!

Yes, saterday was a real good day.

These lovely fabrics were brought by the postman,



I won these beautifull fabrics in the giveaway on Quilt it & dotty's blog!



Aren't they lovely? Thank you so much Dorry!

I have been in search for a 'grand foular' to cover an old chair.... or the other option... a new chair. (but in these tight financial times times I rather wanted the first option)

And yesterday I found this quilt and two pillows for a nice price,



They are just what this cosy corner needed! I know, I can hear a lot of you thinking.. 'she should have made it herself' ... you are right ofcourse, But sometimes buying (and the quick result) can be satisfying.

And to make the atmosphere complete I bought new candle's and this plant



So yesterday evening, while we were all home, close by the fire, candle burning and drinking some hot coco, I was thinking 'This was a good day'!

Today we have a sunny sonday so another good day has started!

wish you all a good day too,

Groetjes

Matching quilt,

Just couldn't resist to make another matching quilt (je) for this bag.




Have a good friday!

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,
