A Garden with things to show you

Hi,

It has been Midsummer here and we went to our cabin, we had some great weather! Also my niece 12 years old has been here for a week, so I have been very busy. But now I have made some pictures and have a garden of things to show you..


I started making a wallhanging called Making Tea by Ani Downs featured in the Australien Homespun Magazine. The wallhanging is 42 x42". The magazine's wallhanging was just 20 x 20", but I found the applique pieces just to small. I made it for the Afternoon Tea party and by a miracle I finished it just on time. Here are some pictures.





















I won a quilt on ebay an antique on for just 21 dollars with help of Cathi. Here are some pictures:

















I have been working on my Kaleidoscoop and have 5 more blocks to quilt and then I am done!. I started some time ago with quilting a block a day...that worked quite good for a while anyway :-))













I also finished piecing my Diamonds quilt by hand..here are some more photo's





Somebody asked for a close-up of the pincussion we made..here it is:


I made a test-caddy for my quiltingprojects and am now testing it to see how it works. Here are some pictures:






I was working on a Seven Sisters Quilt in red and white, but I had some bad luck with washing my red fabrics (this was allready their second wash) and one of them bled and now all my reds are ruined, so I am quite sad about that. I am now doing my 7th wash of the same reds and they are still bleading and I am now soaking them for a night a special mixture of something...hope this will work
Now I am stitching my Polka Dot Girls and trying a technique that is called square in a square with a special ruler...I will let you know how that works..

bye for now!
