Making plans

First of all I would like to thank you all for your warm and comforting words of consolation and support on the passing-by of our four-legged friend. These have been much appreciated!

On a merrier note I can tell you that I've been busy making plans for this year - executing them is another thing!

So what did I get for my birthday money last year (funny to say it like that) ...

A couple of books ... I just love those German designers!!!
(there are a couple of really lovely Christmas designs in them -
and not only for hanging on your wall)
 
To help improve my "growing" (ahem) sewing skills :-)

Bonheur des Dames - Flowerpots (140 cm x 140 cm)
I also have their "Décembre en fleurs" tablecloth (white flowers)
 
Bonheur des Dames - Janvier & Février (existing series but my start of collecting them)

Plum Street Samplers - Cinnamon Stars 
 
Plum Street Samplers - Harvest Delivery
(these are the first charts that I've bought from this designer - but I think not the last ones
 = I also adore her Wiener designs :-)

Plenty of things to work on - not even counting all the things that are tucked away in my chest of drawers, closets and other nooks :-).

I'm already considering Easter stitching - Valentine is too soon! Soooo ... I hope to show you some progress (on existing or new things) soon!

Have a nice day!
Ann

Wat heb je een borduurheerlijkheden uitgezocht. Prachtige patroontjes. Het boek Winterlicht heb ik ook (al een paar jaar) in de kast staan. Het is er nog steeds niet van gekomen om er iets uit te maken maar dat geeft niets, er in bladeren is ook leuk om te doen.
Groetjes, Nienke

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...
