First I saw this little hexagons on
Vero's blog and have fallen in love with them.
I was reading instructions how to creat them and thought that would be a great project for a beginner to quilting like me.
Not really a good time to beginn a new project, because I have to do a lot of working and model stitching on my new design. So I have tried to resist this little hexagons.
That only worked a few days!
Yesterday, I started to print paper and to try to sew some of this little "hexis"! What a good use for all the fabric I have collected over the years. I'm really new to quilting and sewing, but
till now it worked well.

Is there any better time of the year than spring??
And is there any greater artist in the world than nature??
Not for me!
I love spring when everything is growing.
There are only a few days when the the shrub at our entrance is blooming like you can see on the picture. I really enjoy every minute of this time and wish you all a happy spring time!

Whenever I'm on vacation I love visiting old castles, cloisters, etc. I love viewing the old buildings and I always get a lot of inspirations in colors and shapes for my stitching.
There are a lot of historical sights nearby my hometown which I never have visited. Maybe you know - the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
I started with a short trip to a barock abby and want to share with you some pictures I have taken.

I'm storing a lot of old linen on our attic. Mostly old handwoven bed sheets from my grandmother and my great grandmother. This linen is surely more than hundred years old and it's perfect
for working old samplers in a higher count on it.
Just I was looking for some linen for a new project and discovered a lot of old embroidered ribbons I didn't know.
They have a funny antique spelling for a lot of clothes, like underwear, stockings, dustcloth, bed jackets, towels, shirts, ..........etc.
I really like them and now I'm looking for an idea to display them.

Finally my new design the "Queen of Birds" is framed and ready for being published. I'm really happy with the framing I love those "tone on tone" look of the colors.
The sampler is stitched on 32 count sand linen with one ply of silk over two linen threads.
The stitch count is 135x135 stitches.
And now?? What will come next??

I just finished the stitching on the model of my new design.
So I want to share with you - hot from the needle - the first picture of the "Queen of Birds".

Now I'll do the framing and the chart should be published at the end of February. Hope you like it!

It's really time to continue working on my friendship quilt which I have started in 2003. I have added three new squares to the quilt and slowly it will be growing.
And slowly it will become a real heirloom piece and a great rememberance on all my stitching friends from so much different countries in the world.
Want to say thank you for stitching a square for me and for becoming part of my quilt and my history.
And here's the back of the quilt where I have stitched the
name and the location of the stitchers. I like this "none colored" side!

When
Gigi had offered this lovely freebie on her
blog I couldn't resist to start it. I really was
in the mood for a little finish
and now I have to show my first finish in 2009.
It's stitched on 32 count green Belfast linen and it's really lovely! THANK YOU GIGI!!!!
First I have wanted to finish it as a little ornament, but
now I think I'll use it as a square in my
friendship quilt. It absolutely has the perfect size for such a square.
I really have to continue to add squares to this quilt. Each of this little stitchings I have collected is a great rememberance on stitching friends in different parts of the world and I
really treasure this lovely gifts.
