Bridal fashion week

Last week I read an article in one of our newspapers on the Pantène Bridal Couture Week from October 15 to 16, 2011 at Pearl Continental hotel, Lahore (I don't know why it appeared this late in the newspaper). All I can say is that I was awed by the beauty of the dresses ...

I love the Indian culture ... that is food, clothes, architecture, nature, ... (not their "casts" system)! Everything is sooo colourfull. Wish I could travel over there! For now it's only dreaming since I don't have the travel budget for this yet ;-)

Look at all those beautifull dresses, colours, embroidery, ... The girl that wears this will feel herself a real Maharani!
 






From another website:





And as I can't put all those pictures on one blogpost (otherwise it would be waaaaay to long) ... here's a link to another really nice galery of pictures (you should really have a look): Bina sultan collection

Who doesn't want to wear such a lovely dress(es)? But as it says "Couture" in the title, I don't think it's for us "normal" folks ;-)!

Hope you enjoyed this colourfull eyecandy!

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...
