Good to be home.....
... after 7 weeks of wonderful travels. And even nicer to spend yesterday with the 'Sisters', albeit minus Barb and Clare. I /we missed you both. While I have been gone, Ann has been very productive. She has finished the top of Di's beautiful pattern, Antique Wedding Sampler Revisited. It is just gorgeous - and looks even better 'in the flesh'. In addition, Ann is very busy working on a quilt, Hooterville from Material Obsession, for a special little girl. The applique is almost done, and…
Copy cat
I think block #6 is my favourite Antique Wedding Sampler block so far. I just love the way it turned out. I was worried about the inner circle coming out nice and round but it reverse appliqued beautifully. Antique Wedding Sampler Block #6 Judy has also made this block.

Wel op de naaimachine de blokken aan…

Home- style Stitching

There was the usual chatting re families, world problem solving, the latest Show-case news etc....... But the hot topic was Europe,.........why??.....because three of the sisters will be tripping around o'seas, in the next few weeks, mainly in this continent sight-seeing, fabric shopping, tasting all the local…
