Merry Christmas and last minute workshop

Yesterday I went to Françoise for a last minute Christmas workshop.

All our bee members were there and we worked very hard!! But most of all we had a great time together drinking Christmas tea and eating cookies and chocolates in the shape of wreaths.

We couldn't finish the whole appliqué project in 2 hours, but there might be one lady who stayed up late to finish hers.....

When we have our first bee in the new year we will show our finished products.

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Creative 2013!!!

Next week I will have the Camelot bee again and get the pattern for 2 new blocks.
I am glad to be able to keep up with this project, so far so good..... Let's see how I get through the month of December.

Mystery part 10

After a busy time because of the quilt show in Deventer, I almost forgot what my sewing machine looked like....
But I made today into a quilt-day and finished the top of the mystery quilt Little Carrousel by Françoise Maarse.

Now I can show the result to the "Vughtse Stucjes" quilt bee tonight at my house.
Still have to sew the mitered corners, but I will manage before 8pm.....


Happy sewing,

Bee and bees

This afternoon we heard a lot of noise. And this was the reason:

 Two bunches of bees in the tree!! I called a beekeeper to come and get them. Hopefully he will be able to come tomorrow morning and take them with him to their new home....

Lots of activities inside the house as well because it was my turn to host the bee.
Maybe there is a relation between the two? We will never know.....

Happy sewing,

Rose-Anne
