Printers tray or "Casier d'Imprimeur"

Hello all,

I promised you recently to give you some more details about my plans for the printer trays I have.

I still need to do their cleaning and begin with the stitching but at least I've found some perfect designs to use for 1 tray (I have 2 "big ones" and 2 small ones). I think I can fill at least one third or even half of it.


So which ones did I chose? Well, I adore the charts from Isabelle Vautier and I've opted for her "Le Grand Marquoir des Arbres de Vie" which includes the entire alphabet and 28 other "trees" that I can use - of course in my own colour scheme :-).


Maybe I'll incorporate some of her other charts from her "Grand Marquoir" as well ... It was published as a freebie and you can still find all six parts here.


The rest of the designs is still to be determined but I think I'll use a mix of lovelies from Isabelle Vautier and Renato Parolin (books and others) which I'll be stitching over one on a 32-count

Tomorrow I'm heading off to a book fair and I'm curious if I'll be finding interesting things :-).

Have a nice weekend!

Oh, I'm so envious of your lovely printer's tray, Ann! I've always wanted one. The ironic thing is my grandpa used to own a newspaper and had many, many, but they were all sold when he sold the newspaper. What I wouldn't give for just one!! Really looking forward to watching you fill yours up :)

Good choices! I look forward to seeing you start this! My tray has realllllyyyyy small compartments - I need to find smaller letters for mine, as I don't want to stitch over-1 on tighter than 32ct. Some day in the future, of course

Het wordt vast schitterend met de patroontjes van Isabella Vautier. Het is nog een heel gepuzzel om patroontjes van de juiste afmeting te vinden he? Groetjes, Nienke

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...
