2016: Lots of Projects to choose from.....



Hi Everyone, I want to thank all of you for reading my blog and your most appreciated and nice comments in 2015 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are 14 of my WIP projects. Have fun reading!
 
1718 coverlet update (1.73m by 0.35m), lots of more blocks to make. Such a nice project to work on, very different than usual and fabrics as linen, upholstery and woven fabrics too.

  Apple core doll quilt, needs quilting and a binding....

 tree top...needs finishing....(the blue and green is from another top)

Still working on my Cathedral windows quilt (in Dutch: 'Ramen lappie' á la Supergoof), this will take a while because the plan is to make it big. Love working on it though (all by hand).

 Crocheted sheep blanket in granny stripes, only needs a border (and finish all those loose hanging threads..)

 Teddy bear, made of sackcloth or sort of linen fabric, needs eyes and body... but I like him already.

Lizzy BOM, from Quilt it & Dotty,  lots of blocks to make....I don't mind that it will take a while. Nice to know I can make a block without having to think to much...

 Two tops with old Dutch patterns, both need finishing...

 Mushroom, autumn top, needs finishing...

 Red and white Irish chain, I already started machine quilting this...it is quite heavy and big to handle.

A red, white and blue star, part of a sampler quilt to be...there are other orphanage blocks in my closet in the same colour range so may be one day it can be a sampler quilt....

My Bird quilt top...like this one too, a bit quirky..

 '70ties Holiday quilt top, needs more borders... a project I take with me when I go on holiday...

Little dancing dollies table runner, made from antique French fabrics(bought in Nantes, France) on linen, mostly applique. I like this too, don't know why this stayed in my closet for so long...

Of course there are even more plans in my head and patterns and books in my closet, so I feel very privileged .

And now I bought Brigitte Giblin's second book: Feathering the nest 2 at the Quiltster
it is full of nice new projects, ha ha, just what I needed, new ideas!

Saturday the 23thrd I will be attending a workshop in 'back basting applique' and trunkshow (with antique quilts) from Dawn, collector with a needle  at Quilt it & Dotty at Overloon (the Netherlands).  Exciting!
(  I think there are still some tickets left for the trunk show only).

The plan is to show progress on all my projects from above in the coming year!!!


I wish everyone a very creative year too in 2016,
  

Groetjes

Genoeg om uit te kiezen heb je. Wat leuk dat je ook aan de 1718 Coverlet bezig bent. Ik probeer ook om een beetje het origineel te benaderen maar wat een haat/liefde verhouding heb ik met hem:)In tegenstelling tot het origineel gebruik ik bij de applicaties maar 1 achtergrond stofje.

Groet,

So many BEAUTIFUL projects here! I'm glad to see that you're working on the 1718 Coverlet too. I put mine away for a little while, but just got it out again. Some of the tiny appliqué is hard for me, as I'm not well experienced at it. Did you hand appliqué those deer in the holiday quilt top? Amazing! I think I need to learn some new techniques. ; > Best new years wishes.

Ik blijf jou ook volgen hoor (deed ik toch al:) met die rare 1718. Gek eigenlijk dat je (=in het algemeen en ik vooral) een quilt ga maken eigenlijk voor de geschiedenis er van.

Groet,

Okay, jij hoeft je in ieder geval niet te vervelen dit jaar:) Wat een moois allemaal en zo herkenbaar ook..ik durf van mijn WIP's niet eens een foto te maken..
Dat boek lijkt mij ook erg leuk, leuk nieuwe plannen maken voor quilts, al is het maar in je gedachten..

You do have lots of projects, but that is the fun of quilting! I love your scrappy background on your trees, perfect!
