This week was the week of the Gail Pan Bom, however I did make something else, too. After writing my last blog I first made a trick or treat basket, with the idea that I at least had one done. But it seems a little lonely at its own.
After that I began putting together the Christmas Wishes. I saw at Gail Pan's weblog and others sashings made of squares of different fabric,but I found it difficult to find fabric in my own stash suitable for that. So I found another starry backgroundfabric, which I bought some years ago at the same time as the fabric I already used and which is a little darker, as sashings. I hope it looks nice till now. I thought I should make an application above it and chose the angels holding a heart, which I think nice for Christmas.
Because I chose to make sashings, I have to make borders round the application and now...I have not enough fabric! Fortunately I found a red fabric with dots, matching with the other fabric, it is for Leanne's House (an Ufo), perhaps it can become a border. If it is enough of course... (LOL).
I made some time to sew the next star-row of Guute's Antique Quilt, I like to see the result. I even saw at the Yahoo- AQ-site someone had finished the quilt already and placed a photo, while Guute did not give us the patterns of it . I hope she do not mind, however I think it's a pity.
NenneDesign had een paar weken geleden een giveaway, vier borduurwerkjes van modeprentjes van de jaren 50 en... ik heb er één gewonnen! Ik koos voor een jurk uit 1955, die vond ik het meest lijken op de jurken die ik begin jaren 60 als heel jong meisje droeg. Ik kreeg vandaag bericht dat het onderweg is, ik verheug me er al op, leuk hoor! Foto volgt.
NenneDesign had a giveaway some weeks ago, four embroideries of dresses from the fifties and... I won one! I chose the dress from 1955, which looks like the dresses I wore as a very young girl in the first years of the sixties. She posted it today and I expect to receive it tomorrow, I like it!!!
Zaterdag gaan Marijke (geen blog) en ik naar de tentoonstelling van het Quiltersgilde in Alkmaar. Ria kan niet mee, ze heeft net een nieuwe flat. Anders reizen we met haar mee met 40% korting, maar gelukkig kon ik gisteren nog twee kaartjes bij het Kruidvat kopen voor 12,49 Euro, dus dat is een meevaller.
This Saturday Marijke (no blog) and I go to the Quiltexhibition of the Quiltersgilde which is in Alkmaar this time. We go by train. Quiltfriend Ria cannot come with us, she is busy, she is busy with her new flat.
At last a golden oldy, the October-quilt, which I bought at The Quilter's Corner in Vlaardingen, when I was a beginning quilter. It was a block of the month, first you made a somewhat bigger background quilt, that's the one with the little squares and each month you made another quilt to hang on it. I like it still, it hangs in the kitchen now.
I hope, although my English is not perfect, it will be more understandable than the translation tool provides. Now there are readers from all over the world reading mij weblog and I hope it is a little more understandable. I'm proud you find the things I make are worth to look at.
Groetjes and greetings, Cisca
