Long weekend and the saga continues

Hello all,

Hope you were able to enjoy a long and sunny weekend? For us the first of May is a Bank Holiday and a lot of companies made the bridge to the weekend. For us this meant four days of uninterrupted holidays which we've spent at the Belgian coast.

On the cross stitch side nothing happened but on the quilting side I've added another four blocks. It has slowed down a bit because I need to work as well to earn my living - LOL!!!

Here they are ...

F6 : Start, Saturday 26th of April - finish, Sunday 27th of April 2014 

H6 : Start, Monday 29th of April - finish, Thursday 1st of May 2014
 
I7 : Start, Thursday, 1st of May - finish, Friday 2nd of May 2014

H8 : start, Friday 2nd of May - finish, Sunday 4th of May 2014

I hope I'm not annoying you with all this info and personal data but for me this is also kind of a journal to keep up with the actual making of this - to me - gigantic quilt :-).

Updates on my stay at the seashore will follow ;-).

B.t.w. ... Barbara Ana has released some new cutie Halloween designs! Have a look ...

The Rampant Cats Sampler

Something Wicked
(By the prickling of my thumbs)

The Witch, The Crow and the Pumpkin (my favourite)

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...
