Hi...look what I found in a drawer when i was looking for.....something else.




Old sheets with buttons! From the fifties...? 
 I think I bought them a year ago at a second hand......

Look at the Glamour girl...
So lovely!

Run and Quilt!




Running and quilting go together .... have you tried? Fresh air ... motion and flow allows the brain to get started and ideas come in lots.

That's how it is for me. It's great!
Last time running there appeared a new design from Let's Dance and Cat Walk quilts .. namely
 Let's walk!
A simple sketch is drawn ... We'll see what happens .. if there's something coming out of it?

How do you get inspiration and flow?

Happy Quilting!

Fall holidays

After some thinking.. planing for my days off.... I decided that.....I just do what I long for!
YES!!! :)
So..I want to exercise, sew, read, crochet, make some bread, yoga and..





Outside it's still Fall....a little bit weird because at this time a year there's often snow coming, especially in the mountins. But...no snow in sight.
I have seen flowers that bloom in the summer and trees with leaf bud.
Something is wrong!?

But still I can enjoy the fantastic sunny, foggy weather and the landscapes beautiful dull colors..it's magical.




The sunset is wonderful!


 


 
Who could imagine that the grandmother's square would be modern again?
You can make pillows, blankets, sweaters...
 I started crocheting with a lovely, soft wool yarn.... a cosy scarf for cold days.
Very fun and easy to make! :)






...and of course...I had a long day in the studio..hours flew away!

Cat walk is progressing.....I did sew some more models in different positions today.





Now it's time to decide how the blocks will be sewn together ...hopefully tomorrow!

Happy Quilting!
