March SAL Ornament

I've already shown you a preview of my ornament but here it is fully stitched! I so enjoyed this one because of the lively colours and the funny design!

Happy Owl-O-Ween by Barbara Ana

In the meanwhile I'm stitching on another Halloween piece that I've started two weeks ago - right after Creativa Brussels because I purchased the linnen and it was already on my wish/stitch list for a long time. It's "Sleepy Hollow" from Cricket Collection. My only concern is that I will be able to finish it off in the panel form (I've never done lacing before).


I'm waiting for some special threads to stitch the roof of the Van Tassel farm and
the tree next to it so I started on the middle panel "The Hunt"

The next thing I would like to stitch would be "Ladie's Night" also from the Cricket Collection or "Bewitching Trio" from The Needle's Notion.



Hmmm ... it's always great to make plans (it looks like I'm in a Halloween mood - maybe because of all that snow and grey weather)! ;-)

Such a cute finish, Ann!! Love the owls and I've always admired the Sleepy Hollow piece. Never too early for Halloween stitching--it is always such fun!

Lovely finish. I'm not a great fan of Halloween designs but that one looks something that I might stitch also =D

Cute ornament! I've never seen that chart.

I'm working on Sleepy Hollow too, but you are farther along than me. I got stuck on the winged tombstone, and all that white is boring.

Your ornament is great! Lovely stitching.

I bought the witches a little while ago. I really should stitch them since they are so cute. Thank you for the reminder.

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...
