Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dancing in the rain :)

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.

A blackbird design finished
