played with the PicMonkey software ....

busy busy bee

My friend Elaine in San Luis Obispo just destashed her fabric stash. I was one of the lucky customers ;-) I got the perfect fabric bundles in addition to fabrics I bought on my wonderful journey in January ( in California ) here they are in their wellorganized drawer - do you see the paisley cream fabric on top, Elaine? I think it fits too

I couldn't find a place to put them, because my sewing studio was a MESS !!!! NO, I don't post a picture!!! no no But I'm busy the 3rd day now digging through my drawers which holds my fabrics. And - oh wonder - I found white-on-white-fabrics at least in 4 different places, now they are sitting nicely folded at the right spot. AND I'M SHURE - I don't need to buy WOW for quiet some time ;-) The same happened to my purple/violet/lavender stash I'm collecting for some time now. They are filling one drawer now and I think, I can stop buying purple. Have to stock up the caterpillar greens I need with them ;-)

BTW: I don't really need anymore batics right now .... just saying Next is to put all the stuff away which is piling on the floor and every horizontal surface .... see you later played with a new (for me) programm and added frames and text, have to blame Jenni that I got sidetracked ....

Birthday presents

Can be shown now, because Monika got them already.

What do you think - may I bead a collier for me too?

after quiet a time of abstinence

I'm participating again in a swap. Martha in Texas is organizing a Bento Blocks Swap. My 12 aca 48 blocks are in the air now. Sorry my pictures are so blurry

not shure what I'll do with them - I'll play with EQ later ...

Ja, iss denn schon Weihnachten??? Or - santa sent a wonderful parcel today

To tell the truth, it wasn't Santa - the parcel arrived from my PSW aka "personal shopping witch" in Delaware. Carrie sent really big pieces of wonderful wool fabric AND a bundle of wool thread for the embroidery AND stamps ( for my scrapbooking stash) and a Bonnie Hunter template and needles AND a quilting stencil - just overwhelming!!!
Thank you so much, Carrie

New jewelry

Today we visited a local artmarket at a lovely castle nearbye. DH surprised me with 2 gifts: a handmade glass strawberry ready to wear with my silver Thomas Sabo necklace
AND
A wooden heart with a silver former fork
Love both!!!!!! DankeschÖÖÖn

Which Bonnie Hunter pattern I'm sewing now??

Virginia Bound

My first Bonnie Hunter top ( from 4 !!! )
Is finished finally.
I just changed the setting of the blocks.
My way to be with my friend Carrie from Delaware, where Bonnie just teached during the last days.

Off to work on the next: My Blue Heaven.

Yippi - first posting from my smartphone

Yes, the last post was the first I sent from my phone. Worked like a charm

Knitting, crochet and results

Due to a quilter, who influenced me again with the yarn obsession I finished 2 projects.
The red one is named " frangiflutti " and was easy peasy

The blue/green/turquoise scarf was a self initiated nightmare. I did the single ( squarish ) flower in crochet with real joy. Than I decided that it needs a very wavy border. So I added 3 cables from the knitpros to my square thingies and started very enthusiastic with the number ~ 360. In the second row I doubled that ( ~ 720 ) ok here the fun part ended ....
2 rows later I doubled again ....
Can you imagine 1440 in ONE SINGLE ROW ?????
Ok it's done, don't ask how long I knitted to end this last row ...

But. I love the effect -
well worth the hard work

Happy Easter

to the quilting friends near and far


The good news is: my friend Monika and her husband are coming over
the bad: the weather isn't cooperating,
typically April weather, cold and wet

but I'll enjoy the Holiday anyway

Best wishes my friends

first finish after a very long (too long) no-energy-level

just in time for the coming exhibition of my favorite LQS in the castle of Höchstädt I finished a cushion for the tomobola.

Hope somebody will like it.

Featherweight addition

Now I can show you my new additional table for the Featherweight



Isn't that pretty? I'm planing to sew on this cutie soon
Had the chance to sew on Florine's FW during the Bonnie Hunter workshop in Brea/California. Never worked on mine since 2oo5 - shaking my head
