I finished Barí's Sampler and love it (o: Bari did a wonderful job in tutoring stitches and now she has a very good post on the basics on stitchery. Even if you're an experienced stitcher, should read it. I have learned some new things about threads.
Ik heb Bari's Sampler afgemaakt en ben er erg tevreden mee! Ze heeft veel tutorials voor bepaalde steken en nu heeft ze een post gemaakt over de beginselen van stitchery. Zelfs ervaren stitchers kunnen er iets nieuws leren!
Mensen die mij een beetje kennen, weten dat ik paper piecing eigenlijk maar niet vind. Maar, ik moet zeggen, dat ik veel plezier had bij het maken van deze mandjes. Het zijn de mandjes voor de Retro Nine Patch quilt, ontworpen door Lyn van Bluebird Quilts. Heel erg bedankt, Lyn, voor het delen van dit gratis patroon!
These are labels made for Laura's suitcase and bags she took with her to Mexico (o:
Deze labels hangen aan Laura's koffer en tassen, die ze meegenomen heeft naar Mexico (o:
The Lazy Lemon Pie that I found on Bev's blog. Easy and yummie!!!
De Lazy Lemon Pie, die ik op Bev's blog zag. Makkelijk en heerlijk!!!
Ik wilde iets lekkers voor Thijme bakken, omdat hij zondag thuis was (o: Lisa en Sarah delen wekelijks Weekend Baking at A Spoonful of Sugar. Dit weekeinde hadden ze een recept voor chocolate cookies met slechts 65 gram boter en één ei voor ca. 20 grote koekjes. HEERLIJK!

The sampler is beautiful and I love those pretty basket blocks!
Baking in this house will resume as soon as the weather starts to cool. Those treats look yummy!
Simone, your sampler block is wonderful! I love the fabric you framed it with. It's so fresh looking. Your french knots came out perfectly - mine are always very wonky but thankfully I can avoid them!
How are you adjusting to both kids being away at university?
Your embroidery sampler is wonderful! I love how you stitched the sewing machine. Very cute basket blocks too.
Hello Simone...lovely new look to your blog!!! I will have to go and check out Bari...cool blocks you have made and now I will have to check Bev for that pie!!! Have a wonderful week...Dzintra
What a busy week you have had Simone!Your embroidered sampler looks lovely. Gorgeous basket blocks in such sweet colours.
Once again, wonderful projects. The sampler looks like it's a light purple colour. Is it? Whatever colour it is, I think it turned out very nicely.
The sampler is darling. I love the purple. I also like the basket blocks. I love paper piecing and love baskets. This one is great.
Wat een leuke ampler en je blokken zien er ook mooi uit!
Groetjes, Beertje Zonn

wow, you have alot going on! Good going for that paper piecing!
The sampler is very pretty and perfect for a sewing room. I like your choice of colour and fabrics too. - The colourful labels are good for luggage. Your bakings look delicious.
What a beautiful sampler block in a gorgeous colour.
Your paper pieced baskets look so pretty. I could also see the blocks with applique flowers on. I'm sure I will have "never knowingly left well alone" on my grave. LOL
Yum delicious bakings. We love choc chip cookies here especially when they are a little gooey in the middle.
Het water loopt me al in de mond bij al het moois wat je gemaakt hebt; alsof dat nog niet genoeg is eindig je ook nog met mijn favoriete koekjes! Wat een heerlijke blog weer.
oh Simone your baking looks lovely and I love love love your new stitchery it's gorgeous!!!
Oh Yummy! And I don't mean just the pie and cookies. Your stitchery look delicious too as do the baskets. How did you paper piece those?
Hello! I often see your name at Ulla's blog so I thought I would visit you! I love your embroidery and the paper piecing! I think I will have to find that Lemon pie recipe as I do like lemon tasting things...but does my waist need pie????
Your stitch sampler is lovely. I have just discovered Bari's blog and found lots of stitchery patterns. Your little baskets are so pretty. I am just about ready to try some paper piecing. It does seem a bit fiddly. Seeing the bag tags you made makes me want to make some for myself. Maybe I will make some for presents too.
Seeing the Lazy Lemon Pie is going to make me skip right over to Bev's blog for the recipe. It looks yummy and I love anything with lemons and of course I love anything with chocolate so I will have to look for the cookie recipe too. Loved your post Simone :)
Your stitching is perfect. Love that polka dot border. So pretty in purple too. Laura is a lucky girl to have so many special and useful handmade goodies from her talented Mom. Now I need a piece of pie with my morning tea. :o)
Beautiful sampler! I'm loving those little baskets!!
Love your sample stitchery. It looked like a lot of fun. I now subscribe to Bari's blog and she is so talented.
Oh, you have been busy with a new look for your blog and all those basket blocks. So cute.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Sorry it took so long to reply back to your comments.
Always glad to hear from you.
oh I love love love bari's stitchery it is gorgeous!!!
