Under a new quillt,

It was my the kids desire to have the quilt ready before this weekend.

(yes they want to lie under a quilt when they watch tv) 

So this mornig I made the last stitches and

finished the binding.

I think this quilt turned out just as I hoped it would!

 

I'm really happy with the result but also feel a little regret ...

it was such a wonderful quilt to work on!

Guess I just have to start making a new one!

Made this new shopper with embroidered lady

and Dutch folc fabric.

And speaking of 'shopper'.. have to go,

grocerie shoping.

And tonight I also want lay under my new quilt.

Enjoy your start of the weekend.

After work is done,

Today after work I made myself some tea with

homemade apple pie a coockie and opened the mail.

A big envelope and the coocking magazine Delicious.

(I might gain some ideas for dinner this evening)

I'm so happy, the fabic from Den Haan en Wagenmakers

arrived in the big envelope! 

I need for the binding.

Can't wait to finish the quilt.

Now I browse through the magazine..

no easy ideas for todays meal.

But a great recipe for apple pie!

I think we'll have a quick meal today..

So I can start making pie and sew the binding!

A perfect match....

I finished the little bird pillow

It's a mix from Japanese fabrics and a vintage embroidery.

I love these colors....

they blend beautiful with the embroidered bird

I used my new bias maker for making the binding,

such a clever tool!

Another perfect match...

tulips on my kitchen table

untill next time..

Groeten, Corry

a new week

Just a quick post on something i did this morning

instead of the things i really should be doing.

I'm so easily distracted!!

Yesteday i went to a fleemarket with Heleen

and found a lovely vintage embroidered tea cosy cover in good condition

So this morning I picked some fabrics to make a matching insert.

Red and white check and polka dots and

a vintage white button on top..

I think it looks lovely...

What do you think....

Do you fancy a cuppa?

Have a wonderful beginning of the week.

Groeten, Corry

Messengerbag, Jane Eyre

 The bag is finished,

Everythime I look at this painting I imagine myself reading

 'Jane Eyre'

or

'Pride and prejudice'

I love the lining in this bag,

a beautiful romantic, vintage fabric.

But I can't keep all bags for myself..

So this one is in the shop.

Have a good start of the week,

Groetjes Heleen

All I needed was..

Just a quick stop at the fabricstore..to buy sewingthread for this almost finished bag. That's all I needed... 

Than I saw these fabrics

that I

could not resist and probably need some day !?!?//.

(I have no idea what to make..)

But everyone needs an incredibly kitchy fabric sometimes?

With a dog and a goose..

I promise to behave better if I need to buy thread next time....

Reorganizing,

Hallo everyone,

I haven't been the best blogger these last weeks.

Busy, busy, busy,
Guess I needed time

to not only clean my head..

Also had to reorganize my craftroom.

And fabricstash.

Now everything is done there's space to create again!

How about a bookbag from this painting!

With the vintage fabric inside.
