75 year old beauty

5 years ago, while my DH served in Afghanistan I bought a Singer Featherweight, built in 1936. I got infected with the FW bug at the Dear Jane Retreat in Shipshewana, which I attended also in 2005


Unfortunately my little darling doesn't run smoothly - so I asked a wellknown lady in the Stuttgart region to have a look at my FW. Holding my breath - and hoping that I can use this beauty SOON
I'm still busy cutting fabrics. 2 workshops are prepaired, now off to cut my Bengali woven plaids, my friend Gabi bought in Bangladesh. I'm going to use them for the Virginia Bound workshop.

working on Sunday?

not really - but
I'm busy cutting stripes and tris for the Bonnie Hunter workshop "Cathedral Stars"
First testblock will be sewn SOON
Excited

wishing everybody time

to live
to love
to be creative
to relax
whereever you are

I'm prepairing the fabrics for 3 Bonnie Hunter workshops !!! Bonnie is such a creative, generous quilter, can't wait to get to meet her.

The Princess and the Pea * Prinzesschen auf der Erbse

The_Princess_and_the_Pea

During my last visit at my friend's house I took this picture of Nelli
"Prinzessin auf der Erbse" is a fairytale from Hans Christian Andersen

BTW: her look tells she know she don't has to lie on the batting ....

Valentine - picture

today I can show your the whole picture ;)
Mostly I followed Karin's instructions, I just didn't hang 3 stuffed hearts to the bottom and hanger
AND
I changed the "sleeve" idea into hearts
I used cardstock and thin batting inside

before the binding come on the edges I sewed a tiny folded strip (Paspel called in German) to the edges

and thats it:

its about 16,5 / 20 inches

I know that was a new start, but it is also a finish!
I did much better than in the past ... smile

wishing a lovely Valentine

Valentine - preview

My LQS offered a free workshop for Valentine

J 3 Rick's Volleyball Net

hugs

the 4th kite for the Christmas Row Jane

is done.
I made 3 kites with F 7, so I made G 6, besser known under the name "Papa's Star" in 3,5 inch and added the same frame to it
the inner star war really tricky ... - but the result is worth the struggle!

wishing a sunny weekend

C 11

C 11 is done - I love this fabric!

I also finished the 3,5 inch Papa's Star - that was difficulty,
will add the outerpieces to get a kite tonight - pic tomorrow
hugs
