Ripit

The frogs visited me this weekend. I almost finished the black border around the central motif of the new Serengeti mandala and somehow I was off ... on the left side I had 41 cm, on the right side 37 cm. Knowing myself, I decided to rip it out again and start all over even when this wouldn't be a big problem since I have foreseen enough border (12 cm on each side).

In the meantime I have browsed on the net to admire the new stitchy releases (Nashville and others). A girl can dream no?

Here are a couple of must haves:

Ink Circles- Rosetta   /   Glendon Place - Plum Pudding

Prairie Moon - No Mine is the Trick and the Treat

And some "maybe":


Glendon Place - Cherries Jubilee and Grashopper Pie

Jeannette Douglas Designs

Keslyn's - Butterfly Essence   /   Homespun Elegance - Spring Eggs III

So stitching wise the weekend wasn't great but we had fun because we had a couple of visiting friends with their two daughters about the same age as my two daughters ... Fiesta guaranteed! ;-)

Have a nice week!

Agh--sorry to hear about the ripping! At least you got to dream/drool over the new releases. I think half of the fun of monochromatic designs is figuring out what thread to use!

This time we travel to the south of Europe ... Italy being our destination ;-) RENATO PAROLIN I can't remember how I got to know the designs of Renato Parolin (who doesn't have a website nor a blog)... I suppose I've seen some of his designs on fellow stitchers' blogs. His - yes ladies a MALE designer - theme is nature with lots of trees, deer, doves, squirrels, owls, flowers and hearts. Once you've bought one chart, you want them all - trust me! Look at what I've gathered the last two years: And his lovely book which I already wanted to purchase for quite some time. It were her pictures - seen in Becky Bee's Christmas Ornament Challenge 2011 - that drew me over the line :-) I would like to stitch one of his larger designs the coming years namely: La Selva di Ries Il Bosco di Bengtsson La Pineta Di Classe                      F...

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my 39th birthday! I never figured out whether mom did this on purpose or not ... just before Christmas (my birthday is never celebrated big time)! :-) I've received some money and a book coupon so I guess I'll do some stash enhancing ... cross stich, quilting or knitting ... what will it be? I'll keep you posted!

Long time no see

Well it has been an awfully long time since I last posted here but I switched to Instagram (annsombel) a couple of years back (December 2016 to be exact) as I encountered some problems with posting on Blogspot and I didn't always know what to say. I kept following all of you who also have Instagram profiles but I admit that I'm missing the rest of you so ... I'll be posting here sometimes (let's say once a month or maybe a bit less) to keep you updated :-). Summary of what I've been doing in a nutshell (longish text so skip this if you don't feel like it :-):  Beginning of 2018: Moncarpacho workshop by Willyne Hamerstein (from her Millefiori Quilts 3 book) April 2018: start on "Doing the Rounds" by Thimblestitch - more or less halfway through now 2018: working on "Camelot" by Trish Harper - finished in June 2019 July 2018 - October 2018: SAL 100 Modern Quilt Blocks by Tula Pink (still have to sew all the blocks together but some block changes...
