A new blog and some pictures of the work in progres ,the mandala ,
this is the challange for the dutch bag ladies

TAST the binding,,,,,

It is stil in progres but it is coming slowly , for the binding of the book I first used eyelets but this was not so good the eyelets all fall out of the fabrick after some time .

I now used the buttonhole stitch for the little holes and this is very nice I have seen on Jacquelines blog she hase the same problemes with the eyelets .

Exploring

The quilts for the challanges I am working on are going very well you see in time.
The work for the C&G is slowly going I have to make some examples but for one example I made a little bag
I have to work with prairie points used insert within a patchwork design and when I finished it
I made a little bag of the example

The small piece of crazy quilt is also an example for the course
It takes a lot of work but it is so very lovely to do
