love to be on this group

my playground

I like to let you see the inspiration for my quilt play ground
the first thing I was thinking on when we got the challange was the way were playing as children
there were many little ditches around the school , the last picture was my school , long gone ,,,
now there is a road and new houses no more play ground for children .
in summer we played in the fields fild with flowers and in the winter we did ice skating and played in the snow .
The head master always told us to see the beauty of the nature and it was beautiful at that time
nature is gone there no more flowers ,,, o yes there are nice gardens with flowers but it is not the same .
so that was my inspiration for the quilt .

al memories .

16 again???

A very lovely day yesterday the monoprinting was not a succes but we hade so much fun and the quilts were beautiful I can not show the pictures you better go to Sandra,s blog
My pictures are so pale I only have a good picture of my quilt I made it with an other camera

I took care of the new challenge and presented it in little folders.
I made one for Sandra and one for Willy.
we have to make a quilt using a haiku as inspiration
I added some haiku,s to choose from

we wil meet soon as we go to Arnhem to go to an exhibition of quilts
2 quilts of Sandra 1 of Willy and 1 of me are hanging there to

and there is more to come I wil keep you informed

A day to play

things I must not forget to take to Heerde for a day to play and talk and show and tell

The quilts are finished and I prepared a new challange

we are going to monoprint and Willy wil spoil us with food and drinks

now I know what to do

I am still working on my mandala and I wanted to do something with the holes
and working on the postcards there is was the Idea
I think this is a ,,what if ,, check this blog from Jude

so you see working with little things is sometimes the answer
but first I make the postcard

maybe a postcard

little pieces of fabric and silk thread this wil be a postcard for a swap

Sometimes it so nice to work small .

little treasures

My grandson gave me lots of buttons he got them from a secondhand store
Some buttons are very old now I wil add them on the mandala
for me they are little treasures

So you see the mandala is growing little by little

embroidery

I find embroidery a wonderful way to get my mind at rest

every day I stitch some little stitches

some days many stitches as today

and there are always new ideas in my head

for the C&G course I have to think about a container to make

I just have to get the idea and in the next modle I must make it so now my head is spinning with al kind of ideas

I have to sit down and make notes and drawings

but first some little stitches
