Whizzing by

Wow, can't believe it's almost a week that I didn't post! Let's say that I was quite busy during the last week :-)

I've been to a quilt course for beginners on Thursday (4 lessons each Thursday in October), been washing my fabrics - all of them - on Saturday and clipping and tidying them on Sunday. I also started stitching on the first block in order to have something to "show off" this Thursday :-).

The lady giving the class told us that she wouldn't have the time to explain nor show how you could quilt / stitch through when finished ... and this was the main reason why I'm going! I think I'll have to start to Google or find good instructions on the net or on YouTube.

The block is more or less like this one (found on the net) ... I'll try to post pictures soon.


It wasn't easy to start from scratch ... she told us "go ahead" and everyone stared at a blank page for quite some time ;-).

I'll keep you posted about my progress!

Favourite designers - Renato Parolin and Rovaris

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...
