Scandinavian Christmas update

This weekend I finally had some time to sit down and start on my Scandinavian Christmas Quilt from Lynette Anderson. Until this time I was only able to take my knitting work and knit during waiting times or when i was back home... but now I am so happy I finally started to sit down on the table again and made some time to quilt.... missed it more then I knew. Thanks to I and C I have a deadline at least to produce something for coming friday ... thanks girls!!!

Handmade past






This is a piece of Handmade Past. About 30 years ago my mother made this writing map. I fell in love with it immediately and I am sure it started of my interest in quilting !!! On the other side of the table she sat by me when I was doing my homework, and she was either doing knitting... or making something as beautiful as this, Happy memories !! Do you have a memory like this share it on you're blog.

monkey business

As you have seen I am not only into quilting but also love knitting. Well this time I have a project called  "jacobus". My daughter N fell in love with this monkey so certainly I had to find out where I could get the pattern, which wasn't simple at all, but you can find it at www.zijmaakthet.blogspot.com.  As you see I already have the first part of the head....

"zandloper" quilt

My new project!! In quiltmania I saw this beautiful "zandloper" quilt. With flowers in the middle very nice. We just have a new bench and of course a new bench needs a new quilt... since it is a kind of beige fabric I thought it would be nice to use my stash of japanese fabrics... and here you see the first results.
