Magical Christmas

Finally, my Magical Christmas stitchery by Lynette Anderson is finished. I love it! It was so much fun to make. And the result is amazing. I think this will be my last Christmas project for this year.

This is what I made for my swap partner Marie-Joze. I'm glad she liked it. The stitcheries are by Natalie from Cinderberry Stitches. The springberries needlecase is a free pattern and Ethel is one of the three sisters. I copied the pink 'met liefde' heart from my daughter.

The postman brought me these (O:

A few weeks ago I was the winner of the Felix the cat button, by Lynette Anderson. Lynette also sent me a very cute wood decoration with it. I think that will be hanging in our Christmas tree this year!


I think the special part of this button is, that Lynette actually has a cat called Felix, who is a very good friend of her dog Hugo. You should really have to take a look on her blog to see how these two pets get along so nicely!

Magical Christmas almost finished

Laura, my daughter has been creative once again. Look at the tiny stitches she makes. She certainly does have good eyes!

Today when we got up, we had snow!!! Our first snow in November. Doesn't it look beautiful. Our dog Bibi loves running around in the snow. It makes her active and happy.

And here's my Magical Christmas almost finished. I have one more border to go and then I'll be able to finish it! I must say, I'm quite satisfied. This is a very fun project to make!

Some more Magical Christmas and some wonderful fabrics

The top border is a Christmas tree that goes on the left side. After I finish the 'Stars make way..." border, I only have one more to go and then I can put the quilt together. I do think I will have it finished by Christmas now (O:

Look at these fabulous fabrics I bought at Pink Chalk Studio. They are for a quilt I want to make with our black leather sofa.

Here are some more wonderful fabrics. Don't you just love the hugs and the kisses fabric. I really look forward to making something out of these. Pink is after all my favorite color.

And then I got these two patterns by Melly and Me. Their patterns often suprise me, since they often have a very special way of making their softies. Magoo will be made from the fabric the patterns are on.

Magical Christmas once again

Santa looks better when ironed!

I think I will finish Lynette Anderson's Magical Christmas mini quilt this year. My left shoulder and arm are doing much better, thanks to my physiotherapist, chiropractor and me doing much less than I want to. I so much enjoy making this :O)

Christine is going to have a giveaway. You get to sign in till the end of the month. Good luck!

Pink Chalk Studio and Lynette Anderson and Sue Daley's giveaway

My Magical Christmas quilt is progressing as you can see. Santa is finished and now I'm working on the first border. Quite a lot of work and fun to do :O)

Pattern: Bento Bos by Tracey Brookshier. This quilt was not made by me! I took the picture from a card, Kathy of Pink Chalk Studio send to me along with two of her patterns by Pink Chalk Studio: Note Taker and Pencil Roll. Both patterns have the description for two different sizes! Kathy really describes her patterns well with very clear pictures to it, so you know what step you have to take and when. I really enjoyed making the pencil roll (see October 14, 2008). The Note taker is on my list of 'next fun project' to make.

You can get her patterns at Pink Chalk Fabrics. Do take a look there!

Sue Dayley is having a giveaway. Good luck ;-)

Magical Christmas Stitching by Lynette Anderson

This is part of the wonderful border. Don't you just love seeing Santa Claus flying with his reindeer!

So I've finally continued to work on one of my Christmas projects. Part of it is shown on the second entry of October 18th. I finished 'Angels are everywhere' and am now starting with 'I love Santa'. Can't wait to start with the border!

Do take a look here for a free pattern by Lynette. I haven't made it yet, but it does belong to one of my "Yet another gorgeous project to make" list.

I have some more Lynette Anderson stitcheries!

Let peace fill your home

It's Christmas time

Since Christmas will be sooner than later, I started to look what projects I didn't finish last year. And guess what. I found another Lynette Anderson pattern: Magical Christmas Stitching. I'm richer than I thought. As you can see, I completed two parts, one is almost ready and then there is "I love Santa" to go and the gorgeous borders! I find the borders the best part of this quilt!

Hope I'll finish this quilt before Christmas!

My first stitchery

A pattern by Lynette Anderson

Detail

All my creations, creativity and energy this past year started with a pattern by Lynette Anderson (www.lynetteandersondesigns.typepad.com/). It opened a new world for me. Thank you Lynette=))

I had been planning to start quilting again for a very long time, but somehow I couldn't get myself started since I had so many other things to do.
A 10 day stay at the hospital, due to heart problems, made me realize that there is more to life than just work, studying and trying to keep up with everything around me. That is when I found Lynette's pattern at http://www.thelogcabin.de/ in Germany.
Since then each day is filled with stitchery, patchwork, quilting, pincushions, dolls, pencil rolls, etc. etc. A day without it, I feel a bit lost.
