Paper piecing and other projects

Little update of my new quilt to be.... I really love making the blocks with easy paper piecing method, but the effect is lovely don't you think, I really enjoy making this !!

The book where the quilt is from is on my previous blog although the pattern of this quilt was not in the book sadly... but I found it on the internet.

Already 5 little babyhats heading for middle asia....

And I started allover with my cable cushion, I didn't like it so instead of using needles 9, which was adviced I used 7 and I like it much better much tighter and I used an other cable , this one is more on top what i prefer...

Sewing, Stitching and Knitting.... Lovely weekend !!!

I know I know, I shouldn't start a new project... I have to finish one first.... but my family is asking for a quilt in the colors of our lounge sofa ... well I am happy to start it already... something different to do in between all the other projects.... this is the book where I found my inspiration 

In my own cabinet I found these wonderful fabrics, And I think these are about the colors where I am going to work with, but things can change a bit when I am going on... you know how it works...

This is the first block... I love the braun's and pink together, my favorite colors to gether with blue but I am not sure if I am going to us blue in this one... perhaps I first start with a braun/pink one... and the next a blue/braun one.... well will see... lets start with this one first...

And a little update of my sampler of stitches... the last part in coming next week and I am not so far behind any more.... I am now finally making my dd's and my hubby in the middle, changing the pattern a little bit because this is my family

And last but not least I am knitting little baby hats... I read about it in knippie... this is the site www.savethechildren.nl there you can find a free pattern of a baby hat.  Children in the middle of Asia will be very happy with this little hat. Last year the hats went to India... this year I don't know yet the project is from 22th oct until the end of Februari, so if you wish to knit a hat too, feel free to go to this website. I like to do it  it is, quick, you feel helping someone and your cleaning out your wooll in the same time !!!
