I am back from a really nice weekend teaching the sampler. We had a lott of fun. It was a bit cramped but it worked out well. They did great work. Both liking different things and have trouble with different things. It was very educational to see.
Here is a picture of them working:
This is the result from my friend Liselott, My MIL is very shy and didn't want me to take a picture of there things...Which was a shame!
Doesn't it look great??!!
I have been knitting the last week. Trying different things and starting over again. But now I have found the one I like best and have almost come half way. It is not a scarf but more a shawl. It is made of wool and a new kind of yarn, that is more like a silk ribbon in the different colors:
The first try and close-up:
The second try:
And we have a winner:
So I am knitting hard to get the shawl ready before I leave in 2 weeks on vacation.
I am also quilting my scrapquilt that I am going to give to a friend in Holland. I am using one of my fancy stitches since the quilt is quite plain.
Also you asked me about the sewingmachine with extra room between the arm and the quilt:
It is a Janome machine I borrowed it from a friend. This is the machine I have
At the moment I am having a bit of a hard time finding things to blog about, because I am going on a vacation home in 2 weeks, and I am making presents right now. But since my family and friends also check my blog it is a bit hard to take pictures and still keep the surprise ...*lol*
So I hope you can be a bit patient with me the next 2 weeks and I will have a MEGAUPLOAD before I leave!
Hugs Barbara!
