IHSW and Ornament SAL - April 2013

First of all I'm glad with my new followers! It proves that I've got some things to say and show that interest people. LOL!!!

I've been working on a couple of projects in the meantime. First of all I've finished knitting the back part of my eldest DD's dress (see previous message).

I've also started and finished my monthly April ornament. It's a little bit smaller than the other ornaments that I've shown the last months because my other stitching was more time consuming. So here it is ... a "marine" ornament (I've combined two hearts - there are 9 in total - because I liked some parts of the design better than others). I'll be giving this away as a present.

From the booklet "Country Hearts Am Meer" by Acufactum
 
In the meanwhile my special WDW threads arrived and I was able to stitch some more on the left part (the Van Tassel Farm) of Cricket Collection's "Sleepy Hollow". Unfortunatelly they didn't mention how much skeins are needed for some parts so I'm not able to finish the roof untill I've ordered another skein of "London Fog" - what's in a name! :-(


I will soon start on the "Bewitching Trio" from the Needle's Notion (see previous message). The colours are really beautifull ... partially due to the fact that there are a lot of Weeks Dye Works skeins in this design.

I know what to do the coming weeks and will try to post more often because it isn't fun having a blog and post but weekly (sometimes it's lack of inspiration or always showing the same projects)!

Your ornament is so unique! I love it!
Sleepy Hollow is looking fantastic too. I love autumn/Halloween designs.

Such a pretty summery looking ornament--that was a great idea to combine portions of the different hearts! Nice progress on SH, too; hope your new thread arrives quickly!

Your ornament is cute, but the Halloween piece caught my eye. I started Sleepy Hollow last year and need to pull it out soon if I want it done by Halloween.

Sleepy Hollow is a great project - nice progress on it. Hopefully the missing thread will arrive soon so that you can continue stitching on it.
I love the little heart ornament.

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...
