Een Drentse Dame wil rust: Celtic Solstice Mystery Quilt #5 - learning about sizes
http://drentsedame.blogspot.com/2014/07/celtic-solstice-mystery-quilt-5.html
Een Drentse Dame wil rust. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. Celtic Solstice Mystery Quilt #5 - learning about sizes. When I pulled out the (few) blocks I made for this mystery quilt so far I noticed that the sizes of the blocks were not all the same. Measuring in inches is new to me, as in the Netherlands we use the metric system (centimeters) - and I have only 1 (! Very old ruler with an inches scale on the back side. For the first block I used Bonnie's free templates, and that worked fine. Ik ben echtgenote, mo...

Een Drentse Dame wil rust. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Picking up the pieces. Last weekend I visited my sister, an advanced amateur quilter. She is teaching me some hand quilt. Ing techniques and I already made a few sample blocks, like the ones below. My sister and I have been quilting together and we talked a lot - about quilting, family, holiday, beauty treatment, and whatever sisters talk about. It will probably become one of the most curious quilts I've ever seen, but as long as working on this it kee...

Een Drentse Dame wil rust: Quilts I made
http://drentsedame.blogspot.com/p/quilts-i-made.html
Een Drentse Dame wil rust. Starting this new page I realize I made some quilts already, albeit long ago and I never recognized them as being quilts. I'll see whether I can dig up some pictures of those as well. Baby quilt for my first granddaughter, November 2013. Baby quilt for my first grandson and a baby fence quilt ("boxkleed" in Dutch), both December 2013. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Picture Window template. Powered by Blogger.

Een Drentse Dame wil rust: Celtic Solstice Mystery Quilt #2
http://drentsedame.blogspot.com/2013/12/celtic-solstice-mystery-quilt-2.html
Een Drentse Dame wil rust. Monday, December 9, 2013. Celtic Solstice Mystery Quilt #2. Is out and I want to sew! Unfortunately I have been -and will be in the upcoming period- very busy with traveling and preparing rooms for the guests who will stay over for the holidays. I have been traveling last weekend and will ne next weekend as well. But I managed to cut some fabric for the second clue. Sewing however will be a challenge as I don't have a designated sewing area.

Een Drentse Dame wil rust: Very old sampler blocs
http://drentsedame.blogspot.com/2014/08/very-old-sampler-blocs.html
Een Drentse Dame wil rust. Monday, August 4, 2014. Very old sampler blocs. Not too long ago I decided to collect all blocs I ever made and put them in the Picking up the pieces. Well, the aim is to make a cozy lap quilt. But it really depends on the blocs I gather. I found a few very old and unfinished blocs; samples from the first quilting course I followed over 20 years ago. This log cabin was the very first quilt bloc I ever made. Next step: finish the Sew over the Rainbow. Picking up the pieces.

Een Drentse Dame wil rust: Bye bye Celtic Solstice
http://drentsedame.blogspot.com/2014/07/bye-bye-celtic-solstice.html
Een Drentse Dame wil rust. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. Bye bye Celtic Solstice. I've made up my mind: I will not finish the Celtic Solstice I started. Although it is a terrific design and I learned a lot while participating in my first mystery quilt ever, this is not the quilt I "fell in love" with. Just for your information: the fabrics are all kind of fabrics except quilting fabric. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ik ben echtgenote, moeder, dochter, zuster en een trotse oma die van quilten houdt. O...

Een Drentse Dame wil rust. Monday, December 16, 2013. Celtic Solstice Mystery Quilt #3 - Jealous.or not? Has been out a few days now, and the link-up. Has gone live as well. Every time I look at the pictures of other participants I get a bit jealous. Well - because I see a lot of perfect blocks in beautiful color combinations. Color combinations I won't be able to make. So, when I look at all those perfect blocs I feel a bit jealous – just a bit. And you know what? Monday, December 9, 2013. But I managed...

Een Drentse Dame wil rust. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. Celtic Solstice Mystery quilt #4 - way behind! The holiday period is over and life is getting back to normal again. I have not been able to make any progress on the Celtic Solstice Mystery quilt as I had guests during the whole 2 week period. Our 5 week old granddaughter (and her parents) stayed with us, as well as a cousin of my husband. Our 3 week old grandson (and his parents) visited us on the day after Christmas.
