Three more flowers

Still working on my Flower Garden.

It's so inspirational to go over to:

"One Flower Wednesday"

where one can see and admire the flowers
the others ladies are making.

Thank you Karen for hosting.

Three more petit flowers, made of 5/8" hexagons.

Sweet Nostalgia.

June - Let's play ball.

It's  not June yet and I have finished all twelve blocks.

I started last year with the July block in that same month. 

I kept up with a block each month until now in May 

I also did June.

But this is just half way, 

Now there is: Sashing and Quilt Assembly.

Until next time

Happy stitching.

Blue Flowers in the Forest 

That is the name for my top. It is still just a top, 

for the backing I'm going to use every single piece of K.F fabric I have left.

That will take a while. Then we will see if this one is a top or a back.

It is 93"x87".

This is Kaffe's yarn, which I really love. 

Multicolored wool and so soft.

One day this will be knitted into an afghan.

You can also see the book "Color Guys",

I like that book, so full of colors, knitted into scarfs, cushions and blankets.

Until next time

happy stitching or knitting or.....

One flower

This flower is made of 5/8" hexagons. 

I have sewn 1" Half Hexagons on both sides of my top.

I'm thinking of a border and appliqué 

some smaller flowers

like this 5/8" or 1/2" on the border.

I'll make some more flowers and see how it will look. 

I just don't want to stop making flowers.

If you like to see some more flowers, just visit 

Karen  at Journey of a Quilter. She is hosting this 

Garden Party every Wednesday.

Thank you Karen!!!!

This is my block for May - How does your garden Grow?

Designed by Dorothy Baker. 

Finished eleven blocks - just one more, and I can start to put them all together.

Until next time

Happy stitching

Reiko Kato

Last week the OEQC was held in Veldhoven in The Netherlands.

I stopped by on my way to Rotterdam and saw many beautiful quilts,

but none like Reiko Kato's. 

Here are some pictures I took and want to share with you:

And of course I had to buy her book, and some other stuff.

I read an article about Reiko where they say 

she only sleeps four hours a night, from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m.

She is immensely prolific.

That is beyond belief, only four hours sleep every night,

I need my eight hours or I'm out of function.

Until next time

Happy stitching
