I finished Laura's quilt and it is already keeping her warm in Amsterdam! The minute she saw it, she said she fell in love with it. I had a wonderful time making it, thinking of her and knowing that it would one day keep her nice and warm!
Part of the back.
I finished Gail Pan's stitchery that I won last December. A great project to make. I used some left overs from Laura's quilt. I think it suited the stitchery very well.
Here are the nine Christmas Wish blocks. I am not quite sure how I will finish the quilt. Maybe I will leave it this way.
Then I was planning to make a second Christmas Wish stitchery for a dear friend of mine, but somehow I didn't get to it. Together with Melanie, Lynn and Karen we are going to make one block each week and post it on Sunday. Sorry mine is one day early.
This time I want Noel to come in the middle of the quilt, so I will have to stitch the letters red.
And look what loveliness that arrived my home this week. It is from Gaby! She made this gorgeous little quilt and added some wonderful goodies, such as a piece of soap, two wonderful fat quarters (pink!), thread and a lavendel pouch.
And look at the lovely heart she added and the handmade card. Thank you so very much, my dear Gaby. The sad part about this post is, that Gaby send it for the second time. She send the first parcel in July, but it never arrived. I was hoping it was still coming. Unfortunately. The same thing happened with my parcel for 'Christmas in July'. I feel so bad for those people who have put so much energy in their work and the post can't be trusted.

Wat een prachtige quilt heb je gemaakt voor Laura. Ik kan me voorsteelen dat ze er meteen verliefd op geworden is. De gail pan BOM is erg leuk, ik weet ook niet helemaal hoe ik hem gaan quilten. Het is leuk om te zien hoe iedereen met hetzelfde patroon toch een andere quilt maakt. En weer heb je leuke kadootjes gekregen, alleen jammer dat het eerste pakketje niet is aangekomen.
Fijn weekend
So many news! What a beautiful post. I love your work.

Everything looks fabulous Simone! Laura's quilt is beautiful and so is your Christmas stitchery. Have fun with the Gail Pan blocks! :0)
Hallo Simone,
wundervolle Quilts zeigst du uns, aber der Quilt in Redwork von Gail Pan gefällt mir besonders gut.
Liebe Grüße Ute
Wat is je Laura's quilt mooi geworden en wat heb je daarnaast ook veel gedaan !!
Goed weekend !
Laura's quilt is wonderful!! I am sure she is enjoying it! Love all your stitcheries. I still haven't finished the first stitchery project I started. I think I have too many things I'm working on at the moment.
Hello Simone,
So nice to see what you have been up to, I have nearly finished my Gail Pan Christmas BOM too, it is rather cute huh.
I love the colours in Laura's quilt, I am sure she is just so happy with it,
have fun Simone!
Laura's quilt is sweet and beautiful. Lucky girl. Sad when packages don't arrive. I wonder what happens to all those lovely gifts that end up in the postal black hole?
Liebe Simone!
Lauras Decke ist ja zum Anbeißen süß :-)) Sie wird sie immer schön warm ummanteln.
Auch all deine anderen Projekte und Geschenke gefallen mir ausgesprochen gut. Weiterhin *Happy Stiching* und genieße deine Presente.
Liebe Grüße, Annifee
Love Laura's quilt....and you have been busy with those finishes...
cheers Julz
Hi Simone. Goodness me, you've been busy. I LOVE Laura's quilt and your Gail Pan stitchery looks lovely with those fabrics. Must get in and finish my Christmas Wish blocks ... got behind with that one and have 3 more to do.

Hello my beautiful friend! :-)
I'm sorry I have been quiet of late, but I think about you! :-)
Your creations are stunning, Simone! I expect you enjoyed making Laura's quilt all the more knowing that she would be snuggled inside of it and you would be 'close' to her. I was the same when Aaron went to England last Christmas, I made him a bed quilt and felt close to him while I was making it - even though he was half a world away!
Your sewing and stitching is beautiful!
Hugs and love!!!!!
I love the quote this week - so here is my "one word of peace" for you... "Cherish". For that is what I feel about our friendship - I cherish it!
{{{hugs}}}
viel heel liefs (?) Vikki xoxo

Iris
What beautiful projects, Simone! I especially love your Bunny Hill block. It's adorable!

Hello Simone, Laura's quilt is just beautiful the colours go together so well and I adore the pattern. I thought the buttons on the hanging you got were beautiful and matched so well. Have a lovely day.
Hello Simone, Seeing all that you have been making is very inspiring to me and makes me want to finish some of my UFO's! The quilt you have made for Laura is just beautiful and it will keep her cozy and warm this winter. Hope you have a happy week:) Evonne xx
I love the quilt for your daughter! And your lovely stitcheries as well! All of my children are getting lap quilts for Christmas this year...but one of my daughters reads my blog...so I won't be able to post them until after!
oh, how I love Laura's quilt! yummy and beautiful at the same time! What a treat! tee hee
and Gaby's gifts are beautiful, you are so lucky!
Wat is Laura's quilt mooi geworden Simone. Prachtig. En wat een heerlijke herinnering voor haar aan thuis. De stitcheries zijn mooi en wat dapper dat je er nog een keer aan begint. Leuke cadeautjes heb je weer ontvangen. Toch zonde dat er een pakketje is zoekgeraakt.
Hallo liebe Simone,
oooooh, Lauras Quilt ist klasse geworden, wie schön, dass er ihr auch gefällt. Wie ich auf deinen Fotos gesehen habe, ist dir das Quilten mit der Maschine prima gelungen ;-) Laura wird sich in ihren neuend Quilt sicherlich gleich einkuscheln, denn die Abende werden doch ganz schön frisch ..... wir können ihn nicht aufhalten, den Herbst.
Sehr harmonisch, dein kleiner Gail Pan-Quilt, wunderschön !!!!
Inzwischen habe ich auch alle Blöckchen von "Christmas Wish" fertig, ich stecke noch mitten im "Jutta"-Layout, ich habe schon Ideen für diesen Quilt ;-)
Und quiltige Geschenke sind immer willkommen, wie schade, dass Post verloren gehen kann ...... und deine ist auch nicht angekommen?
Dann hoffe ich doch sehr, dass meine Post für dich bald gut bei dir ankommt,
viele liebe Grüße und danke für die tollen Fotos,
deine Jutta
Lieve Simone, Laura's quilt is beautiful, love your Christmas Wish Quilt....on my to do list...you have been busy....hugs lyn
Laura's quilt is lovely. And it must be a nice idea she has something to think of you!
Hia Simone, well done on getting the 1st pach of the BOW finished. Love Laura's quilt I am so pleased that she loved it. She will always have a little bit of you with her now.
The stitchery works really well with the fabrics.
You asked about the red I used I didn't have 221 but I did habe a reel of vintage thread. I ought to take a pic of it as I think this will be the last project I can use it on.
Wonderful work. You do such great things.
What a lovely post - it is hard to know what to comment on first Simone! Love the finished quilt - such happy colours. the stitcheries are beautiful - especially love the Christmas Wish. Looks like you have been keeping busy!
Laura's quilt is so pretty! She must be so happy with it! Your stitcheries are lovely, wonderful work! It is really sad when parcels get lost, such beautiful work and friendly gestures, what a pitty.
Wow, what a lovely quilt for Laura. I love it too and I like the label at the back. It will sure keeps her warm now that winter is getting near - Hugs Natima
