The weather forecast was right, this is what it looked like here at the beginning of the week. Now the snow is gone and it is only cold.
I finished another of Bea´s BOM this week, only two to go and this year´s stitchery project will be complete. Now to sew these cutties together in a top will last some time as I am still pondering which setting will enhance them the best.
In the meantime I have something else to do, not that I would get bored or something!
My mother sent me a top to machine quilt. I like it very much, very scrappy, just my colours. It will be a pleasure to quilt as it isn´t too big and my mother had already put the batting and the back to it. I just have to switch on my sewing machine and off I go!
This picture shows a detail. It is a very easy block made of 2 squares and one rectangle. Either one dark square with one light square and rectangle or one light square with one dark square and rectangle. The squares are 1,5" finished.
During the week, I dyed some more sock yarn. It seems the color combos turned out nice as some skeins are already gone to become Christmas presents.Tomorrow night will be the time to prepare my DS´s advent calendar. Fortunately Playmobil and Lego exist!
I wish you a very nice first advent sunday and a agreable week.

Bonsoir Gwen,
Magnifique paysage enneigé! Rien de tel en Bretagne, nous n'avons en ce moment que le célèbre crachin! Le patch de Marie-France est très réussi, bon matelassage. Amitiés.
Françoise.
One of these days you're going to tell me what kind of yarn you're using to dye, and how you mix up the Koolaid. I'm still working on my first little scarf, but it's getting bigger. I'm on my second ball. LOL!
Your mom's quilt turned out nicely, so nice and scrappy, just perfect to cuddle up with. Happy Quilting!
Those dyed yarns are yummy. I hope you take pictures before you give the gifts away. I would love to see them.
The quilt is great too.
Your sock yarns always look so pretty! I LOVE that photo of the bird house too.
Gwen ....I like your snow's pics...........but I'm curious about your dye socks. These colours are so nice.

Magnifique scrap quilt comme je les aime, very inspiring to me !
What a beautiful winter scene. With weather like that, I would want to sit by the window next a warm fire and stitch all the day long *s*
Your sock yarn is incredible !!!! Wow. And all that snow makes me think it would be lovely to snuggle under a gorgeous winter quilt. So love seeing what you are up to in the craft world.
