Camelot quilt

Hoi allemaal,
Hi all,

Deze blogpauze heeft wat langer geduurd dan gedacht maar het heeft n's deugd gedaan om niet altijd online te zijn. De eerste twee weken van juli waren we namelijk aan zee met een heel beperkte toegang tot internet. 

As I went on holiday the first two weeks of July, my blog was on holiday as well. We were at the seaside with a very limited internet access and to be honest ... I liked it! ;-)

Ik had veel borduurspulletjes mee, een haakwerkje en ook veel quiltspullen ... maar heb eigenlijk alleen maar de quiltspullen aangeraakt en hard gewerkt aan de Camelot quilt waarvan ik al 5 blokken had voorbereid (stofjes gekozen, getekend en geknipt) zodat ik ze ter plaatse "alleen" maar in elkaar moest zetten :-). Zoals jullie kunnen raden heeft dit wel wat meer werk gekost dan gedacht ook omdat ik bij enkele blokken nog wijzigingen heb aangebracht wegens niet volledig tevreden (gelukkig had ik stofjes meegenomen).

I took one piece of crochet and lots of cross stitch and quilting stuff with me but basically only touched my quilting supplies. I worked hard on my Camelot quilt. I already had prepared 5 blocks in advance (fabric choice, drawing and cutting). As you can imagine things didn't went as smoothly as I thought they would go because I changed my mind on a couple of the blocks (luckally I took some fabrics with me).

Hier zijn wat foto's met een indruk van hoe het moet worden. Here are some impressions ...

 
Blok A - Block A

Blok B - de roze randblokken heb ik ondertussen vervangen door blauwe en mogelijk ga ik ook de groene blokken verwisselen met iets anders (de collega's zijn er niet wild van) 
Block B - I changed the pink triangles with blue ones and mayble I'll be switching the green ones also
(my collegues aren't wild about this block)

 
Blok C - hier zijn de 4 meer afwijkende roze blokken vervangen door curry/mosterd tinten
Block C - I've changed the 4 pink blocks with curry and mustard shades


Blo(c)k D - de turquoise hoekblokken en de verschillende kleurtjes driehoeken zijn ondertussen ook al aangepast (geen foto) - The turquoise corner blocks and differently coloured triangles have been changed (no picture)
Blo(c)k E - geen veranderingen hier / No changes here

Blo(c)k F - ik ga de 6 lichtroze blokken vervangen door enkele bruintinten (meer contrast)
I'll be replacing the 6 lightly pink blocks with brown shades (more contrast)

Volgende keer zal ik n's een foto tonen van alle blokken naast elkaar.
The next time I'll show you all finished blocks in one picture :-).

Kom zeker deze week nog n's terug want ik heb nog enkele dingen te laten zien!
Stay tuned this week because I have some other things to show you!

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                      Fiabe                             La Natura é Cosa Bella ROVARIS She

First ornament of 2013!

Image
I've finished it yesterday so I guess I'm still good for the 2013 Ornament SAL :-). I'm not completely sure if it's only the stitching that needs to be finished or the entire ornament ... I'll have to check that! So without further delay, here it is: Spring in my Garden Barbara Ana Designs   It was a real joy to stitch but the only thing I didn't like doing were the bees ... very small and fidly :-)   I've also changed the colour of the rabbit, chicken and the bees wings from DMC Desert Sand (colour variation) to 738 (rabbit and chicken) and white (bees wings) ... otherwise they wouldn't show well on the fabric.    In the meantime I've already started the Barbara Ana "Owl-o-ween" design :-)

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
