In between.....

Something I have been working on watching TV for the last months. And not during the Danish police series, because I could not follow and count at the same time....
Finally finished yesterday and this morning I pressed the little points in place.
Yarn I bought at her shop in November at the Arnhem Quilt fair.

First time I knitted something with this lace pattern and I am pleased with the result. ;)
The pattern is called 'annis'.

Happy quilting and knitting,
Rose-Anne

Final Camelot block

Yesterday evening I sorted my leftover fabric and cut the parts of the final block.
I still have a lot of fabric strips left, but not a lot of different color values. So I am happy this is the end.....

block 16 ready to be sewn (not looking that good against the color of the new sofa)

leftover strips of den Haan & Wagenmakers fabric sorted by color

This "Camelot variation" quilt might be in a quilt show in a couple of years....who knows.....

I am very proud of my "Rooster's Rose Garden" quilt on the flyer of the Quilt Show in my hometown Vught!!!

Hope to see you there.

Happy quilting,

Camelot oh, Camelot

The end is nearly there. I am working on block number 15 at the moment.
Time to look for the other block I made while living in Shanghai during the lessons in a local quilt-shop. All made with the same den Haan & Wagenmakers fabric and all hand pieced.
Sit back and enjoy......

Baltimore basket made in Shanghai

Camelot block 15

mini weddingring block made in Shanghai

Camelot block 14?

Camelot block 9-14

Now the fun part starts, placing all the blocks in the right place......The 16 Camelot blocks will be placed on the point and the corner blocks will be my Shanghai blocks.
Will need to put up my design wall for this....

To be continued....

Happy quilting,

I have been very productive....

Last week was a week of catching up with old friends. It was great to see so many people who mean a lot to me, because I have fond memories of things we did together: gardening, visiting museums, quilting, cooking, drinking coffee or having lunch.... Did I promise to come back next year? I think I did......

At the end of my visit I spend a long weekend with 62 other women and 1 man. With only sewing on our minds and it was wonderful!! What a lot you can achieve if you don't have to clean, cook and grocery shop!!
Look at the blocks I made for my barn quilt. The barns will still get some animals appliquéd on the grass.
