Ornament SAL - July 2013

As told before I managed to do "some" stitching while I was away in Provence. Started the Santa's Village series by Country Cottage Needleworks and finished two of them (actually I did the last 50-something stitches of the second piece after returning home).

So here they are:

 

Oh yes ... did I also telly you that I DID manage to finish knitting both of my daughter's dresses (normally I don't like posting pictures of my family but this will be the exception)?

I would also like to welcome my new followers and say thank you to those who left comments on my blog posts the last couple of weeks. July and August are alway traditionally full of activities (probably with most of you) and I don't have a lot of spare time to comment back or to even write new articles for my blog and read other blogs.

So I would say talk to you soon ... probably in September (with new piccies and plans) when everything is routine again :-)!

Je huisjes en de jurken zijn goed gelukt, en zo te zien zijn je dochters er heel blij mee.

Groetjes Yvon.

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!

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...
