Update

OPGELET : veel foto's :-) ... ATTENTION : lots of pictures :-)

Tijd voor een update na het laten verstoffen van mijn blog ... De zin was er even niet en ik heb ook niet veel lezers dus dat is ook al niet direct een stimulans :-)

 Time for another update after letting my blog "collect some dust". I really didn't feel like it and as I don't have a lot of readers for the moment this doesn't help as well :-)

 De afgelopen maanden heb ik enkele expo's en opendeurdagen bezocht:
The last couple of months I visited some expo's and did some "open door visits":

 - Harry Potter expo in Brussel (BE) - 30 juli ... zo veel herinneringen! :-)
* Harry Potter expo in Brussels on July 30th ... sooo many memories! :-)


 

 





- Opendeurdagen van De Quiltster en Vlasdagen in Dreischor (NL) - 20 augustus
* Open doors at "The Quiltster" and folklore festival in Dreischor (Holland) August 20th

Afgelopen week zaterdag (24/09) ben ik naar het Hobbysalon te Mechelen geweest en het was een inspirerende beurs. Deze keer wat nieuwe gezichten (standhouders) en nieuwe dingen op creatief gebied. Kortom een geslaagde dag!

Last Saturday I visited the "Hobbysalon" in Malines and I must say that it didn't disappoint. In comparison with the last couple of years there were new things and shops to discover on the creative side.

Een verslag van dit salon - en ook waar ik zoal aan bezig ben geweest op creatief vlak de afgelopen maanden - volgt later op de week! :-)

Pictures - and what I've been up to on the creative side - will follow later this week! ;-)

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

Image
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
