Sewing: I have recently finished project "Texas" and since I´m going on vacation some time soon, I wont start anything new. So what to do.... what about start working on a UFO??? Thats what I´m doing - I picked the scrappy flannel quilt for my cat, I´ve finished quilting it and by now I´m busy with sewing in threads.

Forgotten Pictures - Sewing In Threads

I totally have forgotten about this pictures I took over a week ago. No really exciting pictures but maybe worth a little update post about project "Texas".

these are the leftovers from sewing in the threads - for me in person - I dont like those automatic sewn up and cutted threadends... and sewin in threads its like a test snuggling under the quilt

the basting thread still has to go.......

..... but all this were over a week ago...... basting thread is gone, binding got sewed on infront via machine and the back will be sewn down by hand...... and hopefully will be finished sometime soon.

FNSI May 2011

Here we go again the next FNSI is just around the corner. So click on the botton below and sign up




I´m not doing alot of sewing right now - working alot outside in the garden since we have daylight until 9.30 pm. I thought I would finish sewing on the binding on project "Texas" - but I was wrong I havent touched a needle the whole weekend :-(

Sometimes I Get Spoiled

so last week

two out of a bunch

a little orchid bloom - love them

And yes I´m still sewing - right now I´m bussy with sewing-in threads on project "Texas", this will be followed by sewing on the binding. All together quilting has slown down quite a bit because of the beautiful weather and the tons of work outside - I wonder where it always come from?!?. And its hard for me to be in the house, when its still daylight outside until 9.15 pm - just loving it!

Icehockey-Fan

There is the Icehockey-WM going on right now in Slovakia and WOW our german Team can acutally keep up with the Top-Teams there. I´m so PROUD of your boys! We have beaten Russia (first time since 1954 and 37 WM-games), Slovakia and Slovenia (3 wins in the preliminaries round since 1930!!!). We kept a tie after 60 minutes and extra time against Denmark and Finland but sadly lost in Penalty. The coach and the team did and still doing a great job!!! Tonight is the next game - the next really strong and successful team - Czechoslovakia - this will be another hard game for our team - *trust - faith - hope* Go Germany Go - its possible to beat the Czechs.

too nerve-racking was this game - Rocco couldn´t stay seated anymore - lol!

Quilted Basket Is Finished

A bit of sewing is done this weekend also. I have finished the quilted basket for my swappartner

I will add some goodies and pack it to mail it off to her - I hope she will like it!

Rambling May,1st
