not an exciting post


There's nothing exciting going on here. I'm still making stitches on the Christmas quilt.
Almost ready for the binding and then it's done, yes!!

1.

Today it's grey and dark outside. Not the perfect light to make pictures.
And to leave this post not completly whitout photo's,

I thought I would show you some that were already on my camera.
These are small cross stitch motives made by my mother in law.
I have them hanging in a frame.
Heleen used these motives for making ornaments.
Oke, not exactly the same but they look alike!

I love old cross stitch motives.
Here are more gorgeous pictures (found on flickr) where I didn't have to use my camera for.
In this mosaic are beautiful projects made by other talented people.
See the links to go and check them out.

Ja, wat een weer hè? Echt herfst. Ik noem dit altijd pepernoten weer, de hele dag is het donker. Echt weer om bij de kachel te zitten en te wachten tot Piet iets naar binnen gooit, vandaar het pepernoten weer.
Helaas, ik zal zelf nog naar de Spar moeten. Ik stel het al de hele dag uit...Licht of niet, je kan toch wel zien dat je quilt prachtig wordt!

Hello from France!
After a rough day of work, I wanted to have a pleasant break and as every day I have a glance to my favorite quilters'blog. I'm not very happy when you leave no post, it's one of my pleasure! and today I was so surprised to see my mini quilt on your mosaic! thanks a lot.
This year I have no time for blogging or quilting, I work again after seven years of intermission...so it's hard, not to have time to visit all my favourite blogs, and to embroide or quilt! that's why I visit your blog every day because I love your works, your pictures, your fabrics and every thing you post about Holland I'm fond of.
So...see you tomorrow! and thanks again, my pupils love the mini quilt.
