Just a glimpse

I added the borders and now the top is complete.

I’m thinking about quilting it by hand, there are nice patterns to fill in the big spaces in the diamonds.  I still have to ponder about it.

 

Have a lovely weekend!

Working on my first PIP

Hi there!

We’re having an incredibly mild winter, no snow around here.

I am not complaining, there’s a positive side also, no snow shovelling!

Stephanie’s invitation to be a Pipster sounded very good to me-no rules, no pressure.

There is one I started last year, it is a quilt from the book Material Obsession from Kathy Doughty and Sarah Fielke. I loved how the kites were sewn together, they make a beautiful block – though they are a bit tricky to sew.

These were the first ones, not completely sewn and still hanging on the wall:

 

12 blocks ready and the top is sewn,

but what about the borders?…

It took me a while to find the right fabrics. The chosen one is Lark from Amy Butler, a beautiful collection.

Next picture on my next post!

Have a lovely day!

Happy New Year 2012!

 

My Wishes for You...

Happiness deep down within.

Serenity with each sunrise.

Success in each facet of your life.

Family beside you.

Close and caring friends.

Health, inside you.

Love that never ends.

Special memories of all the yesterdays.

A bright today with much to be thankful for.

A path that leads to beautiful tomorrows.

Dreams that do their best to come true.

Appreciation of all the wonderful things about you.

Sincerely,

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

 

This year,

no snow ,

no white Christmas….

But that does not really matters,

“It is Christmas in the heart

that puts Christmas in the air”!

 

 

A last visit to the Christmas Market,

 

can you find Santa’s cap in this picture?

 

A Christmas pyramid, with angels and nutcrackers.

And look,

it snowed at our Gingerbread Cottage!

 

 

Faith makes all things possible,

Hope makes all things work,

Love makes all things beautiful.

 

Wishing each of you,

dear blogger friends

all over the world,

a blessed, peaceful, Merry Christmas!

 

 

Looking for a moose?

 

It’s always a pleasure to find moose items to add to my DH’s collection.

I bought a couple more and they’re spread out decorating the house, a little red pail:

A cute mug and a “moose on the loose”!

It’s a wooden moose that rolls on his “feet” ( a gemstone called Aventurine) and it’s supposed to bring you luck – who knows….

 

Wishing you a lovely, cozy 4th Advent!

Fresh from the sewing room (2)

Today is the deadline for Barbara’s “Occupy your sewing room”!

My last two finishes!…

One of the pictures of my sneak peeks was a little wonky star,  now it is a little table cloth. It is my “entry” for the mentioned event.

A little stitchery (in red and white of course!) for a little jug or pot.

I guess my little projects are all finished by now!

Or maybe not?….

Well, it was a lot of fun!

I’m excited to see what the other participants have accomplished.

Thank you Barbara for organizing this event!

I’ve swept the sewing room,  dusted the sewing machine and the table is “clean”…

What is coming next?

Hmmm…

Just let me have a look….

Next time folks!

I wish you a peaceful,  lovely Sunday!

Fresh from the sewing room

 

Did you notice the button on my side bar?

I’ve joined Barbara’s event for this holiday and, I have to confess, although I don’t spend a full day in the sewing room, it’s working fine!

A little basket:

Mug rugs with one of my favorite fabrics (that I already used last year):

Isn’t she sweet? I really like her:

Another mug rug:

Actually, two!

 

On Dec.11th you can visit Barbara’s blog to see what the other  participants accomplished, I’ll be posting here too.

Now, back to the sewing room! ;-))

Have a lovely weekend!
