This weekend I finally decided how to work out the table runner for the 4 season quilt. I started cutting the pieces, which is quite a lot of work. The pattern is from the Mini quilt book, which I rediscovered after I made my teeny tiny square quilt. There will be some stitchery in it too.And as you see, there is a book next to all this, which I really want to read. In two weeks I've only read about 20 pages. I am a slow reader, but I don't think it's that ... My blogging friend Dzintra is encouraging me to start reading and my daughter already finished it.
Today I received the name of my secret swap partner for the Sassy/flirty apron swap. I am a bit nervous about this swap. If you ever plan to make an apron, many, many patterns can be found here and here.
OK, and this is an embroidery I made for my parents in ... 1975! I was wondering if that is vintage. I used to do this quite a lot when I was a teenager, always being busy with all kinds of handcrafts, such as knitting, crochet and making cloths for my Barbie and myself. My oldest sister is a genius in embroidery. If you look at her work, you can hardly tell the back from the front.

My oldest sister is a genius in embroidery. If you look at her work, you can hardly tell the back from the front. And then I found two more BOMs:
1. One is a 10 month BOM called Verandah Views, a very cute stitchery by Willowberry designs. I will probably start this one after I finished the first block of Once upon a time ...
2. Season's of the heart by Sandi. It's a very nice BOM too!
Off to some swap work now! I hope you have a happy day!

Hi Simone...I'm sure you will be enthralled with New Moon once you are into it. Gorgeous fabric for the apron...thank you for all the sites!!! Wow...I continue to be amazed at the generosity of all these wonderful stitchers...Love Dzintra XX
So many great things to make! My daughters have both read those Stephanie Meyer books...they're quite addicting from what I've seen...the girls would read late into the night until they finished!
I have to agree a little bit with Sarah, stop looking for BOM, but I can put them in my files. So thank you for sharing it with us
The best time to read is before you go to sleep :)
Waar haal je toch al die leuke swaps and BOMs vandaan? Ik durf er niet meer naar te kijken, doe al zoveel en heb al zo weinig tijd. Leuk dat borduurwerk uit 1975.
