Update quilt L'etoile

I love this quilt ... and I love to work on it... it is quilt you make in a day... not even in a year, but it makes me happy... I make this quilt for the memory of my father.....

I am very happy with the new leaves and will make a pictures from the all the leaves together..... but I really like the one on top.... didn't think so when making but it turned out quit nice......

It the middle of this nice quilt is a star.... obviously... the name of the quilt l'etoile a quilt of Nathalie Meance !! So i am now not only starting on the borders , because it is with embroidery but i am finally starting on the inside as well...... have a lovely week lots of quilting fun !!!

Poncho , quilting, holiday

So happy with my poncho... finished !!!! 

The border I did it almost the same as attic24 only a few stitches less then you don't have to stabilise it.... yes yes i know i am laze... or easy it just in the way you say it.....

the colours I choose...

Our luxury threat... St barthelomy... what a beautiful island in the sun....

We had an amazing week  nice diners, lots of sun, lots of fun, beautiful beaches and each other....

Small projects

When I am travelling or when I am meeting friends, I like to have a small project... I take this with me.... inside .....

I am making a little project of a pattern from a miniquilt of I, i already had the pattern for more then a year (or perhaps even 2) but it is nice and small ....

and this time i am making a little small quilt, I also love embroidery, so my projects can also be an embroidery piece or some thing to knit.

Beautiful weather again for a nice walk under the trees.

This is what I made for M, for her wedding, a mistletoe in heart shape... I found that pattern long long time ago, and sever it for a good day, this summer I started on it, because her wedding was in december.... 

Crochet, quilt and valentine

At attic24 I saw this beautiful poncho for the first time.... but I couldn't find the pattern... now I know it was still not on the market in the netherlands...

But now in "haken enxo" it was so I run to the wool shop to get started immediately... and this is the result so far... it was a little bit late yesterday so the picture is not to clear i will make an other one soon...

 With valentine's day we went to a small cafe and had a delicious cafe a vitello tone to on bread and some  'yammie' brownies with caramel, such a lovely threat

at the moment we have some beautiful cold, (but not to cold)  winter weather with a heavenly blue sky....... so nice for a walk outside and enjoying a nice warm cup of coffee after ...

 But of course I need to be quilting as well... I almost finished the top of my youngest... pictures coming soon, but of course I want to make a nice new quilt for my oldest as well... some bright colours mammie she asked... well her are a few of the fabrics i choose...
