Di Ford's mystery and Calendar girl

At last block 3 is done. 

Lots and lots of stitches, hexagons, leaves, stem and flowers,

 all sewn together.

The size is now 36"x36".

One corner.

Also finished my little Calendar Girl, February

(febrúar,  my native language).

Two more to go.

This quilt, The Flower Garden, 

has been waiting for a long time now to be quilted.

I wanted a wooden floor frame,  but was not able to find it anywhere near.

But this is what I could get for not to much money, 

 Dritz Quilting Quilters Floor Frame.

It is PVC and works really good, (but it is not pretty) 

adjustable height and the frame is 28"x35"

Now I better go and do some quilting.

Enjoy your day.

Calendar Girls, + knitting

Now that the winter has arrived with snow - rain - wind and its darkness,  it's the perfect time for
 a story (a audiobook), sit in you favorite chair with a needle (knitting or sewing)
in hand and listen to a good story.

I have been listening to The House at Riverton (also known as The Shifting Fog) by Kate Morton.

A rich and engrossing story of love, passion, secrets and lies set in the gaiety, glamour and grand country houses of post-war Edwardian England.

Beautifully read by Caroline Lee.

Knitting Christmas presents!!!!

And doing some stitchery 

 few months behind - so what!!!!

I've also been quilting my Dear Jane, 

hopefully I can finish it when I get back home after Christmas.

Going to Iceland next week to celebrate Christmas with my family,

really looking forward to see them all.

Happy quilting.

Sweet Nostalgia

Just after Easter I managed to finish April block for Sweet Nostalgia top, 

two more to go.

Instead of satin stitch the Chicks and the eggs

I used wax color crayola (heated).

I'm not good at satin stitch.

And now that I'm hooked on small stitching

I bought myself Nana's Calendar Girls.

I'm thinking red there.

Next week I will attend  Kaffe Fassett's quilt workshop here in Luxembourg,

that will be something new for me.

 I'm not really a big fan of Kaffe's quilts,

but I like his knittings. But we will see.

Until next time

Happy stitching
