Top finished !!

I totaly forgot to update my blog, because I finished my top of my quilt: Roses from the past last thursday. I have beginning quilting on the roses and leaves. in the original quilt there was embroidery on the roses and leaves but when I had done that, I didn't like it so ..... I took al the threads out and don't put any embroidery onit. No I'm going to quilt the roses and leaves and I find it much more nicer. I haven't a picture of it but I do have a picture of how my top looks now it is ready.


On a Dutch yahoogroup we always have in november the wishlist. On that list you can write a few wishes and hopefully someone will fulfill one wish of that list. I ask for a primitive pincushion, not too much with a christmas theme, just a little bit because we don't celebrate christmas but we celebrate Yule (dec 21th) !!
Simone had make me a beautiful pincushion and she added some little bells at the corners and that is christmas enough for me :-)


On the back a beautiful piece of fabric from Red Rooster.

Roses from the past

Last week I took the fabric of this quilt to look how the pattern was en how large each piece of fabric must be. I cut all the fabric on the right lenght and started to sew. I always make my quilts by hand and not on the machine. Here is a update of the quilt. I'm almost half done with the borders. 3 sides has now 3 borders and 1 side has 4 borders. I hope to sew a bit more today.

Last weekend my daughter came with her friend and my son came with his girlfriend to celebrate my birthday and they gave me a Dutch quiltbook: The history of the Dutch quilt from An Moonen. They knew I wanted this book for a long time but never bought it for myself. But now I have it and it is a wonderful book !!

Early birthday present ...

okay, okay ... I had orderd the patterns from Stacy Nash (in my previous post) as a early birthday present BUT ...... I also had orderd a beautiful quilt kit as a early birthday present. How many excuses need someone LOL

Today came the quiltkit and I realy love this one. The name of the quiltkit  is Clarissa, but I gave it a diffirent name: Roses from the past !

I love the colors of the fabric, such nice "old" colors


In the middle on the roses there is going to be some embroidery. Can't wait to start this .... or must I wait till november 2th when my birthday is ???? I don't think so LOL
