Happy Christmas time!

Hi all,

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas with your family and friends, sharing good company, food and laughter!

I have been quiet but busy ... celebrating my birthday on the 23rd, eating out at my parent's house on the 24th and having a couple of free days between Christmas and New Year (my kids are staying with the grandparents of my hubbies side ;-).

I've managed to stitch another ornament of which I already spoke of in one of my previous e-mails. It still needs to be finished but I like it a lot!


I also added a couple of ornaments on my ever growing tree ...


I don't think I'll blog a lot the next couple of days so I would like to wish you all a happy New Year!
Have fun, enjoy each other's company and stay safe!

Oh, I love the Santa on his sleigh and with his reindeer. A very beautiful design. Who's the designer?
Great progress on your tree.

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                      Fiabe                             La Natura é Cosa Bella ROVARIS She

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!

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
