THIS AND THAT

Last night we had our monthly patchwork group meeting. It was fun, we saw very nice quilts, had dozens of lists going around for projects, tours, courses,... I wonder if I really wrote down all the dates and things I am suppose to take part in!
Well today I will show different things which don´t have much to do with one another but are still worth showing (I think!).

First the socks: I had bought some wool in March and of course I can´t wait till next winter so here I am, knitting socks in May with temperatures much higher than usual and still no rain. A funny thing, Diane is knitting socks as well and the pattern looks much the same. Is there a sock bug going around?

Second, the inchies: I wanted to try this because when I go on holiday I think it is something I will be able to do with my mother (quilter) and my sister (no quilter, no sewer) as a girls-get-together thing. I will prepare some more and bring all my embellishments with me and on holiday (in France at the sea) we can find some more interesting stuff like seashells. I am looking forward to that.

Third, the little house: I made this one after seeing many japanese houses in a magazine about a japanese patchwork exhibition. The house is hand appliquéed and the whole is hand quilted. It is about 4"3/4 x 6" 3/4.

The last picture is the mystery quilt from Waltraud Gr.. It is the result of a course I gave last winter. Look here to see more of them. I like the colours Waltraud chose. It would be perfect in MY TV-room but I don´t think Waltraud agrees!

Some people asked how big the minis were I showed in the last post but one. They are 4"x 5,5".

I wish you all a nice week-end with a lot of time for your projects!
