Sunday inspiration


I went shopping yesterday and brought the new Marie Claire idees back home.
This issue is really, and I mean really beautiful.
It's packed full with the most wonderful inspirational idees.

Marie Claire idees

I've taken some pictures to show, so you can see for yourself.

I love the paper made ornaments.
They look so simple and yet so very pretty.

Cute deer ornament.

And don't you just adore this sweet crochet pink teacozy!!

There's so much more. I better hide this magazine from 'moi'
 before I start making more and more ufo's! I'am the queen of ufo's, you know!

 
I start machine quilting the Christmas quilt. And as you probably see it looks terrible.
So I removed all the stitches and decided to hand quilt.

But I make large stitches with a large needle so that works real fast!
This way I hope to be on time for the contest.

Je logcabin wordt erg leuk zo! Heerlijk, al die Kerst stofjes bij elkaar, en de grote steken passen er ook goed bij.

What cute projects you found in the magazine! I really love that little teapot.
I like how your quilt is coming out. It has happened to me many times, that I started to machine quilt, ripped it out, and quilted by hand instead. Some quilts just really WANT to be hand-quilted, don't they?

I used to love making crafts with those 'fasteners' as shoulders, knees.....and that gives a great idea for Christmas with the kids for school - to make an angel - with clip art and their drawings -
thank you SO much Corry!! for sharing

I love Marie Claire Ideas - my friend Katy that lives in France sent me a copy back in the Summer and it is a gorgeous publication.

There are some fantastic Christmas ideas,

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday,

Love that paper dolly and it would be so easy to make ! I think my grand daughter would like one of those. Marie Clare Idees always looks a great place for inspiration but sadly I've never seen it on sale here in England. So thanks for giving us a look at your copy !
Your quilt is coming along nicely Corry,it's a shame you have to hand quilt it, hope you can make the deadline without blistered fingers ! Susan

Hier ook een enorme fan van de MCI, ik lees hem vanaf nummer 8 en ik zie dat dit geweldige nummer, nummer 75 is, dus tel maar uit! Ik vind het zomernummer altijd het minst leuke, gek hè? Maar van deze heb ik weer heel veel inspiratie opgedaan! Je kerstquilt wordt ook mooi!

I have the Marie Claire Idees too! It’s lovely this time!

And your Christmas quilt is gorgeous! Love all the fabrics, they’re so cute. You’re right to choose for the handquilting! Good luck with finishing!

Die hertjershanger en die theemuts zijn echt helemaal geweldig! En wat je quilt betreft, er gaat gewoon niets boven handwerk! Duurt dan wel wat langer, maar het staat wel héél mooi!

Hoihoi,

Mag ik vragen hoe je dat abonnement hebt geregeld? Op vakantie in Frankrijk kocht ik ook een exemplaar van de marie-claire idees. Wat een tof blad!

Ik kan geen Frans maar dat blad lijkt me heel erg leuk, vooral al die papieren ideetjes!

Well I wish I could find the book in the states, I love the tea cosy, not that the other projects are very nice, I collect teapots, so the cosy drew me, BarbM

I *heart* the deer decor! Might need to think about deers for jewelry making...Cheers!

The lovely paper doll and the tea cozy have me drooling over here. So very pretty. Thanks for posting them.

Thank you for sharing your magazine with us. Such wonderful things to see. Your quilt is just lovely and I can wait to see it done. I have taken my Christmas quilt to be machine quilted and I sure hope I get it back soon!

Shelina said...

Your log cabin is beautiful - I wish my old fabric was as pretty! Your angel bag is great also. I think I should make one of those.

Corry, I wasn't sure by your Blog list if you visit The Happy Zombie. If you haven't taken a peak, you must! She uses very traditional patterns as you do. Your Christmas Log Cabin is beautiful. Inspiration always to be found here! Elizabeth
