It's our last weekend in zeeland and it's raining outside our caravan. <br />
But inside its cozy and warm.<br />
We had a lovely week with gorgeous weather. <br />
And despite my best efforts ...I could not avoid a little sunburn!<br />
I think its due to the combination of wind and sun.<br />
And there's always wind in Zeeland.<br />
Last week we visited the weekly market in Middelburg.<br />
Here a picture of The Lange Jan, a churchtower.<br />
<br />

<br />
and I digged out piles of fabric.....<br />
<br />

<br />
to find these lovely pieces.<br />
<br />

<br />
this one comes from another store. <br />
I love the windmills and the red, white gingham.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/corneliar/4714010016/" title="rood wit blauw by dutch blue, on Flickr"><img alt="rood wit blauw" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4714010016_3a5dffbb45.jpg" width="334" /></a><br />
<br />
And I got me the new country living to read and browse through.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/corneliar/4714027732/" title="new magazines to read by dutch blue, on Flickr"><img alt="new magazines to read" height="448" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4022/4714027732_d30dd937f9.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
So I'll enjoy our last weekend here <br />
before I have to go back to normal live on Monday.<br />
Have a Happy weekend too and hope to see you back next week!<br />

Update on last post...I was still thinking abc and numbers for the new baby quilt </center><center>when I spotted this gorgeous fabric. </center><center>With Heleen I was in <a href="http://www.twinkeltjevanjannetje.nl/">this</a> lovely quiltstore in Zoutelande. </center><center>And there they were...cute little birds.<br />
<br />

<br />
I immediatly had a vision on how to use these cuties in the baby quilt. </center><center>I had the perfect pattern made up in my mind. </center><center>This pattern didn't included abc or numbers, so they have to wait for a future project.<br />
I bought the fabric with the larger birds (above) and this pretty stash (below).</center><center><br />

<br />
The pastel colored checker fabric is also the fabric that's used as liner for the baby crib.<br />

The finished top is on the hoop and ready to quilt.<br />
Hope I'll be back soon to show you the result!<br />

I bet we all have one...<br />
A quilt, a knitting, crochet or other project <br />
that you never seem to finish..ever!<br />
You didn't figure out exactly how or what...<br />
and it's hard to bring up the energie to even get you started.</center><center>But you want to get it finished because you love this project </center><center>and think of all the hours you spent already.</center><center> Does this sound familiar??</center><center>Well, see here....here is mine.</center><center><br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/corneliar/4437981984/" title="what's in the box by dutch blue, on Flickr"><img alt="what's in the box" height="395" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4437981984_a8b8e9a666.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
This star charmquilt is paperpieced and not one piece of fabric is the same. </center><center>I blogged about it before <a href="http://dutch-blue.blogspot.com/2007/04/be-charmed.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/corneliar/4437974108/" title="unfinished charmquilt by dutch blue, on Flickr"><img alt="unfinished charmquilt" height="453" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2757/4437974108_b6a4d322d9.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
This is the back of the quilt. And you can see by the wide seam allowences, </center><center>i wasn't that accurate on measuring.<br />
Just think this thickness will give this quilt extra comfort.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/corneliar/4437974098/" title="back by dutch blue, on Flickr"><img alt="back" height="334" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4437974098_1b033296ed.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
I use xray material for my starpoint model. </center><center>Like paterno it keeps its original shape even after its used a thousand times.<br />
And I use wallpaper for draw/cut each individual starpoint. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/corneliar/4437974080/" title="making stars by dutch blue, on Flickr"><img alt="making stars" height="320" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2716/4437974080_ed261e49a8.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
I wasn't sure about the border But I think I'll do it this way.</center><center>Found this picture in a magazine.</center><center><br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/corneliar/4437974084/" title="border by dutch blue, on Flickr"><img alt="border" height="331" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4437974084_900f4e7beb.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
For each star I like to match fabric of the same color.<br />
<br />

So this was it, the once in a year moment of fame this quilt gets to see day light.</center><center>One last picture before it goes back in the box.<br />
<br />
