Deze map zal ik gebruiken om mijn "moderne" werkjes in te bewaren.<br />Groetjes,<br />Jenny<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7F-DQ2bjs0QMQ8sNI3MfWOihFpY8kNq-TDbeug7IA6MSoc3wk86yfcwbGXWMij-E5FaGEE_katYzl_5WpiJHMB-vDxy_o9hw8X93HXhD9hMyzfVX_162dyLqiwA2-zSEXok4r4PNF_L7/s1600/Textielmap+-+open+binnenkant.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7F-DQ2bjs0QMQ8sNI3MfWOihFpY8kNq-TDbeug7IA6MSoc3wk86yfcwbGXWMij-E5FaGEE_katYzl_5WpiJHMB-vDxy_o9hw8X93HXhD9hMyzfVX_162dyLqiwA2-zSEXok4r4PNF_L7/s320/Textielmap+-+open+binnenkant.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471958843091145410" /></a><br />binnenkant - inside<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB57X7oBhM7HLAwCtlnrNHTQDAtSdXV8RawKk3DcP9IXAxeSw5sA-vXukFu5f4cDuogpND-pvH7OoVwDWeUPkA_LzV9sPS1qxLFHb8A3K_NMYU1WW81nDGDYkquvnS9p1uUY_PKaQrqiCC/s1600/Textielmap+-+gesloten+achterkant.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 274px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB57X7oBhM7HLAwCtlnrNHTQDAtSdXV8RawKk3DcP9IXAxeSw5sA-vXukFu5f4cDuogpND-pvH7OoVwDWeUPkA_LzV9sPS1qxLFHb8A3K_NMYU1WW81nDGDYkquvnS9p1uUY_PKaQrqiCC/s320/Textielmap+-+gesloten+achterkant.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471958840666046002" /></a><br />achterkant - back<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgui1Jfh_1fwMI2OX3WXF3hLvz8xngeSZTVg3LjJeW50g-uDDbLFOqwShsw5jvCB985z7gxqqJhuN7B5IEcBPngWGtbD9wRVVFl7sgTEy9Zu_obsmajM-PRMavOTPle8BbNhsnzjh_nNJW3/s1600/Textielmap+-+gesloten+voorkant.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgui1Jfh_1fwMI2OX3WXF3hLvz8xngeSZTVg3LjJeW50g-uDDbLFOqwShsw5jvCB985z7gxqqJhuN7B5IEcBPngWGtbD9wRVVFl7sgTEy9Zu_obsmajM-PRMavOTPle8BbNhsnzjh_nNJW3/s320/Textielmap+-+gesloten+voorkant.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471958836536588978" /></a><br />voorkant - front <br /><br />"The Children of Lir" - onze opdracht was een thema te kiezen en dit door gebruik van foto's - teezakjes, verf - gel - een compositie te maken en deze te bevestigen op een stukje vilt.

Ik heb ondertussen wel gewerkt aan quiltjes en andere zaken. De tentoonstelling in Nazareth komt nader nl het Pinksteren weekend - 22-23-24 mei - iedereen is welkom elke namiddag.<br />Dit jaar hebben we ons volledig toegespits op de meer moderne vorm van de kunst - met name meer "quilt-art" ipv het traditionele quilten. Voor mij was dit wel totaal buiten mijn komfortzone. Ik heb het uitermate genoten maar heb toch besloten dat het traditionele quiltwerk meer mijn genre is. <br /><br />Mijn laatste "landschapsquiltje" is reeds geruime tijd af - niet helemaal quilt-art maar toch wat gedurfder dan mijn gewoonte is :-)). De stof die ik gebruikt heb deed me denken aan zonnebloemen en dus heb ik mijn quiltje daarop gebaseerd. Het bovenste gedeelte - zonnebloemvelden met zaden - het midden - zonnebloemen in bloei en het laatste een foto van een droge zonnebloem, versierd met pareltjes en net - (dat was mijn idee om het wat meer "arty" te laten lijken. Hierbij enkele foto's. Verder heb ik nog een textielmap gemaakt en een A-4tje dat ik persoonlijk heel graag zie - en dan nog een werkje. Later zet ik hiervan ook nog wat foto's op mijn blog.<br /><br />Verder ben ik nog aan mijn sterrenquilt (de rood-blauw-witte) aan het quilten - met de hand en heb ik ook verder gewerkt aan mijn Y2K quilt. Bezig ben ik geweest maar gewoon niet veel zin om aan de computer nog te zitten - kan gebeuren.<br />Hopelijk zal ik nu terug weer wat meer tijd aan mijn blog werken want ik heb wel mijn bezoekjes aan andere blogs gemist.<br />groetjes<br />Jenny<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIrEgVtSIHQ6MkrDayMj5lyLzUKLWjK2dZQcv59KynL271Nys8xta4dyrxiyjhxPAAz0uH4QZreQwLbx9sLTtdVJaOnalErnLYrKrQP5SHKHpZRsYiKOxVSrwCfXKVSK6MAQtSeNkDPbX/s1600/zonnebloemenquilt+block+1+-+zonnebloemenvelden.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 317px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIrEgVtSIHQ6MkrDayMj5lyLzUKLWjK2dZQcv59KynL271Nys8xta4dyrxiyjhxPAAz0uH4QZreQwLbx9sLTtdVJaOnalErnLYrKrQP5SHKHpZRsYiKOxVSrwCfXKVSK6MAQtSeNkDPbX/s320/zonnebloemenquilt+block+1+-+zonnebloemenvelden.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470413682246030466" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28HqS5-BOO83ExHTGAObs55c1p0454oLnlikIQRB2DkG6joeKTi6tO8XnzyqsQ9NCVUkVzVnn6R24WB5-BKILRRRTpDj060uFnES46tf5RMWXBDmuWBF4Xv61GlOxquCWF__9Z2vGM7K1/s1600/zonnebloemenquilt+block+2+middenblok.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28HqS5-BOO83ExHTGAObs55c1p0454oLnlikIQRB2DkG6joeKTi6tO8XnzyqsQ9NCVUkVzVnn6R24WB5-BKILRRRTpDj060uFnES46tf5RMWXBDmuWBF4Xv61GlOxquCWF__9Z2vGM7K1/s320/zonnebloemenquilt+block+2+middenblok.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470413678785174930" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8XSTBIu_Eb31H1kZKQ1cx6TS4Ow5d81NTYdvxcGyHNrFkYU6lYdZJVtJtuc0CnHDrenOqjxgz3RM7HaaqdPyLlDUt1k-LG9AafGpNS5oTv5UY29GAtuo6wCuKA7oKzEj6xVYD6uNWBB5/s1600/zonnebloemenquilt+block+3+zonnebloem.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8XSTBIu_Eb31H1kZKQ1cx6TS4Ow5d81NTYdvxcGyHNrFkYU6lYdZJVtJtuc0CnHDrenOqjxgz3RM7HaaqdPyLlDUt1k-LG9AafGpNS5oTv5UY29GAtuo6wCuKA7oKzEj6xVYD6uNWBB5/s320/zonnebloemenquilt+block+3+zonnebloem.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470412684162587090" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDEGaf8WG2RLGH2yY_ANo7kYlAQ__lDElP_WmGoI_C3ABjWjnsMNN_7kNXNPFfxJL8ZPClo4pSo3Z31f08-B9MzjDK6e8dV74mtCu4M4GQLcp2aXNXuAvSRe5rXJPVH4Y4JKs6zLNOxynj/s1600/zonnebloemenquilt.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 128px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDEGaf8WG2RLGH2yY_ANo7kYlAQ__lDElP_WmGoI_C3ABjWjnsMNN_7kNXNPFfxJL8ZPClo4pSo3Z31f08-B9MzjDK6e8dV74mtCu4M4GQLcp2aXNXuAvSRe5rXJPVH4Y4JKs6zLNOxynj/s320/zonnebloemenquilt.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470412680090176594" /></a><br /><br />It's been quite a while since I last spent some time blogging. Not that I have been lazy, just too tired to sit at the computer after a long day of working in the house, garden and quilting.<br /><br />Pentecost weekend we have our local quilt show - all the groups in Nazareth are participating. Our group this year has concentrated on the more modern form of quilting. More "quilt-art" type of stuff and although I have thoroughly enjoyed doing it, it has only confirmed that my true love lies with the traditional quilting style. <br />I have finished my latest little landscape quilt (use your imagination with this one :-)) - see photo's. The fabric reminded me of sunflowers so my quilt is made up of three parts - the fields with the seeds, the sunflowers in bloom and the last one a photo of a dried-up sunflower, decorated with beats (my attempt at a more contemporary style LOL.)<br />Then on to the more arty stuff - I made a textilefolder - a little A-4 quilt using a photo of the tree in my garden and a little other arty thing. Photo's will follow.<br /><br />In the meantime I have continued working on my Y2K quilt and started quilting my star quilt.<br />Hopefully I will get back into the habbit of spending more time on my blog, especially since I enjoy visiting other peoples blogs.<br />Hugs<br />JennyJenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-47148514266411895232010-05-10T11:02:00.000+02:002010-05-10T11:02:27.956+02:00365 Days of Free Motion Quilting Filler Designs: Day 1 - Shadow Waves<a href="http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/2009/08/day-1-shadow-waves.html">365 Days of Free Motion Quilting Filler Designs: Day 1 - Shadow Waves</a>Jenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-14834895062838958392010-01-27T17:47:00.007+01:002010-01-27T18:07:22.859+01:00Wat een drukte van jewelste vandaag, men heeft zo van die dagen gelukkig is het momenteel weer wat rustiger.<br />Hierbij een foto van mijn volgende UFO welke volgende op mijn lijste van "te quilten tops" stond. Het is een swap waar ik aan meegewerkt heb, de top heb ik verleden jaar afgewerkt. Het is volledig gemaakt van reproductiestofjes. De blokken komen van Denemarken, Amerika en Australia, rechts bovenaan is mijn blok. Ik ben halfweg klaar met het driegen en dan kan ik beginnen met het quiltwerk. Ik ben op het ogenblik aan verschillende projecten bezig - ik hou van wat afwisseling een beetje quilten, piecing en verder spelen met mijn "art-quilt" topjes.<br />groetjes,<br />Jenny<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzQ8CphFCz6BZHxsLGXwTmX6SvRsYZ6HGsp2N19XmxNBNsYHgIida9uaBOBbsQuglL2ZtHHeiOgRj8HxjaKnNGC3vesNYrnyhSK_0bDYwopKq6_IpKJSxjEORnaX_GdUiP-QW1IGgi01Hr/s1600-h/quilt+half+gedriegd+-+detail.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzQ8CphFCz6BZHxsLGXwTmX6SvRsYZ6HGsp2N19XmxNBNsYHgIida9uaBOBbsQuglL2ZtHHeiOgRj8HxjaKnNGC3vesNYrnyhSK_0bDYwopKq6_IpKJSxjEORnaX_GdUiP-QW1IGgi01Hr/s320/quilt+half+gedriegd+-+detail.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431466458860680370" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46mvs77MleWBRsbp_VmUQEv38LGOz-RXtFHhrAK1TQyGXnHVjl8F6M34b0zeMnNg3jCYnzq3iE5WzWB3jb71MN7U5xbLqfJ_tJH8p0Ot2bRDFdpQAr5_j5nu0ZPOvgb0CgnSSfD0oejbF/s1600-h/quilt+half+gedriegd.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46mvs77MleWBRsbp_VmUQEv38LGOz-RXtFHhrAK1TQyGXnHVjl8F6M34b0zeMnNg3jCYnzq3iE5WzWB3jb71MN7U5xbLqfJ_tJH8p0Ot2bRDFdpQAr5_j5nu0ZPOvgb0CgnSSfD0oejbF/s320/quilt+half+gedriegd.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431466454684612658" /></a><br />Such a busy day I have had today, sometimes I wonder whether I wouldn't be better off still working and earning some money instead of staying at home and be on call for everyone else around me - still.<br />Above is a photo of the quilt which was next on my to-do list as far as quilting is concerned. I am halfway through basting it and then comes the fun work - quilting. The blocks come from Denmark, The States and Australia. The top right hand block is mine.<br />I am working on different projects at the moment as I like a change - from piecing to quilting to working at my "art-quilt" trials. <br />happy quilting<br />JennyJenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-53429524704946701472010-01-19T17:31:00.012+01:002010-01-19T18:16:13.320+01:00Het is mijn laatste kans deze week om nog iets toe te voegen aan mijn blog. Mijn kleinzoon komt deze avond logeren tot en met zondag en aangezien hij pas 2.5 jaar oud is betekend dit veel aandacht geven maar ik geniet er wel honderduit van.<br /><br />Mijn nieuwjaarsresolutie was om net zoals verleden jaar aan UFO's te werken en nu heb ik daarnet een leuke "badge" gevonden bij "<a href="http://quiltoholiker.blogspot.com/2010/01/resolution-and-priorities.html">Annes Ida's </a>blog waar ik via de blog van Rose <a href="http://threadbarecreations.blogspot.com/">Threadbare</a> terecht gekomen ben. Iedereen is vrij om dit logo over te nemen.<br /><br />Verder heb ik aan mijn winter journal's wat verder gewerkt waarvan er later foto's volgen.<br /><br />This is my last chance this week to work at my blog as my little grandson of 2 1/2 is coming to stay tonight until Sunday so I will be spending all my time with him, which I love.<br />As mentioned earlier I decided this year to carry on with my resolution from last year - try and finish as many UFO's as possible. Through Rose's blog <a href="http://threadbarecreations.blogspot.com/">Threadbare</a> I found this great button at "<a href="http://quiltoholiker.blogspot.com/2010/01/resolution-and-priorities.html">Quiltoholic"</a>'s blog. Everyone is free to copy it onto their blog.<br />For the rest I have been working at my "winter journal's" - photo's of these at a later date.<br /><br />Herewith one of the quilt tops that I want to finish next. It is going to be a tablecloth and is made of crazy blocks from a swap I took part in a few years ago of which the theme was "autumn". I want to machine quilt this entire quilt so hold thumbs for me please LOL. Since I have trouble with my back and knees I decided to try and sandwich my quilt on my ironing board and it really worked wel - maybe a tip for others.<br />Happy quilting <br />Jenny<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6rPyQk2faaRxQ1RLEZ9Poxl8JSZtEhuLAuiw4tkXXpTDlR9rcL6b1Ry65yoT9LrYkzjkyKZlszZ3qplI5JSYj3rIHsZyLzr0a2s6SemaVBm13ETs983OUhAGfnOS6F1UGO4wsmVd8VFSM/s1600-h/sandwiching+the+quilt.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6rPyQk2faaRxQ1RLEZ9Poxl8JSZtEhuLAuiw4tkXXpTDlR9rcL6b1Ry65yoT9LrYkzjkyKZlszZ3qplI5JSYj3rIHsZyLzr0a2s6SemaVBm13ETs983OUhAGfnOS6F1UGO4wsmVd8VFSM/s320/sandwiching+the+quilt.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428499766221068082" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTqtXY6va22PDVM1w8ehg3l5rxj3zf09YiqJxaMBJgm1sIAkvd4mYlAEOShIx55nC9pSzQZQpWAnoT2oojScggPA6-MrGztvOWUjzi6Ufd0ytpyo2NgLDvJJsHT_ZExPNLubFsRN2xBWkU/s1600-h/sandwiching+the+quilt+02.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTqtXY6va22PDVM1w8ehg3l5rxj3zf09YiqJxaMBJgm1sIAkvd4mYlAEOShIx55nC9pSzQZQpWAnoT2oojScggPA6-MrGztvOWUjzi6Ufd0ytpyo2NgLDvJJsHT_ZExPNLubFsRN2xBWkU/s320/sandwiching+the+quilt+02.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428500555317513330" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAAyst3kKNwog9VAtnL7W6fZeI5JdbXIVHO4pEucyIbUeg34Z9yEIhTgZh7Ygsf5buFGP-3VhKQy49Lf-DOiWwBISsCSbpnn92DYHFeQXs5C20WYd8W8cGQkN6lJUML0EpCkyhH1QC5-28/s1600-h/tablecloth+top+02.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAAyst3kKNwog9VAtnL7W6fZeI5JdbXIVHO4pEucyIbUeg34Z9yEIhTgZh7Ygsf5buFGP-3VhKQy49Lf-DOiWwBISsCSbpnn92DYHFeQXs5C20WYd8W8cGQkN6lJUML0EpCkyhH1QC5-28/s320/tablecloth+top+02.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428500300414179554" /></a><br />Dit is een van de quilts die ik volledig met de machine wens te quilten (duimen aub LOL).

Gisteren na een bezoek aan verschillende blogs ben ik tot de slotsom gekomen dat ik nog te veel "traditioneel" denk. Dus wordt het hoog tijd dat ik een beetje oefen met de meer moderne technieken die ik aan het leren ben. De afmetingen van mijn landschapsquilt zijn gehalveerd, de achtergrond gekozen en de blokken geplaatst (allemaal in mijn gedachten nog LOL) maar ik voel me er goed bij dus zodra ik wat meer tijd heb begin ik eraan.<br />Ondertussen heb ik wat met vliesofix en verf gespeeld en enkele achtergronden op stof gefixeerd. Zoals je van de foto's kan zien zijn er hier en daar nog wat mankementen maar het zijn dan ook oefenblokjes. Ik wil er wel A4 quiltjes van maken tot nu toe allemaal wintertaferelen - hoe kan het ook anders met deze koude en sneeuw.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioQc6dyI2s6h7O6WXTQCE7h8Z92G9J9s93Zp2XJQUyxYYvlmY40bsmkrBjKG9RWavjmJDjXo-MPfgNd_BrJ8kUHP8rWk24396mP7422S0teJ86Fi46-8errmnGJJjqJ_a5jkEr0iB8yJAO/s1600-h/Vliesofix+background+2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioQc6dyI2s6h7O6WXTQCE7h8Z92G9J9s93Zp2XJQUyxYYvlmY40bsmkrBjKG9RWavjmJDjXo-MPfgNd_BrJ8kUHP8rWk24396mP7422S0teJ86Fi46-8errmnGJJjqJ_a5jkEr0iB8yJAO/s320/Vliesofix+background+2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426669124929906850" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQHKeMQH0WOe8HLCQ1nGtDBJhg7WxdMfC1IFC6T-MsM5uNB8Ioq7qlk-3lhPp8kFAwrr4wAOMtb_mjxSYm-tscOmi5AOh8XZ6BIsWkKfL_p9QcivGxvp-hrcyAfRTFGFOqNt1Rw69qSCjn/s1600-h/Vliesofix+background+1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 242px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQHKeMQH0WOe8HLCQ1nGtDBJhg7WxdMfC1IFC6T-MsM5uNB8Ioq7qlk-3lhPp8kFAwrr4wAOMtb_mjxSYm-tscOmi5AOh8XZ6BIsWkKfL_p9QcivGxvp-hrcyAfRTFGFOqNt1Rw69qSCjn/s320/Vliesofix+background+1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426669122029434898" /></a><br /><br />I think I found it! the solution to my landscape quilt. Looking through some blogs last night I realised that I was still thinking "too traditional" to be able to make a quilt-art type of landscape. In my mind I have it all planned - the size of the quilt will only be half of what I first intended and I figured out the placement of the blocks that I wanted to use. The minute I get more time I will turn these thoughts into action.<br />In the meantime I decided to play around a bit and get more confidence in working with the quilt-art techniques. I painted some Vliesofix and then fixed it to fabric to be used as a background. You will notice from the photographs that there are quite a few "mishaps" but then these are only trial quilts. I want to make them into A4 (journal quilts) up to now all winter landscapes. Keep tuned for the next episode.<br />hugs<br />JennyJenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-62433453362605022732010-01-11T20:26:00.007+01:002010-01-11T20:57:03.235+01:00Het blijft maar winteren, gezellig "binnenweer". Op het ogenblik ben ik bezig met het plannen van mijn volgende landschapsquilt. Het wil maar niet lukken. Ik werk nu reeds aan mijn derde idee! Verleden jaar heb ik enkele "proefblokken" gemaakt met gebogen lijnen en van hieruit is dan het idee gegroeid om deze blokken te gebruiken in een landschapsquilt. Aangezien we dit jaar met ons groepje lessen krijgen in het gebruik van "moderne" technieken en allerlei zaken wil ik deze nieuwe kennis graag incorporeren in mijn volgende quilt. Ik zal wel zien welke weg ik ga volgen. Normaal werk ik aan een idee en dan groeit de quilt naar buiten toe en zie ik maar wat er uit verder komt.<br />Dit zijn twee van de blokken en het begin van het idee.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijiMYkIuFCPEsoJW8lu3q-HzHU3Tp04-wIhHH_lj1QEgndXwt7Jw7CoCkgxH2R9DhXZvjp9sXP1v8QSJ7Wz-WR3ecf53cV3BxXEryA1TGEmcgt-HLhoDO_2D3pvIV4PVbLq9G6YHkbu3hI/s1600-h/gebogen+lijnen+blokken.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 169px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijiMYkIuFCPEsoJW8lu3q-HzHU3Tp04-wIhHH_lj1QEgndXwt7Jw7CoCkgxH2R9DhXZvjp9sXP1v8QSJ7Wz-WR3ecf53cV3BxXEryA1TGEmcgt-HLhoDO_2D3pvIV4PVbLq9G6YHkbu3hI/s320/gebogen+lijnen+blokken.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425572807354873842" /></a><br />Father winter has decided to stay for a while in Belgium - we certainly are not used to that over here. Just the right kind of weather to stay indoors, nice and warm and plan my next landscape quilt. I am having trouble though. Last year I made some trial blocks incorporating curved lines. Looking at these I got the idea of using these blocks in my next landscape quilt. I am now working on my third design!!! These are just rough sketches. This quilting year our little group is working on learning the more "modern" techniques and usages of other materials. I would like to use this new knowledge in this quilt. I"ll have to wait and see how it develops as I seldom have a pattern worked out from beginning to end. I usually start with an idea and then take it from there - block by block. Above is a photo of two of the blocks that started the idee.Jenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-18953129224830032512010-01-08T17:17:00.009+01:002010-01-08T17:40:25.972+01:00Wat een drukke week is het geweest - den opruim na de Kerst- en Nieuwjaarsdagen - dinsdag mijn brood gebakken - doe ik nog steeds artisanaal daar hou ik van - de woensdag een ganse dag wintergroenten schoongemaakt en klaar gemaakt voor den diepvries - nog zo gemakkelijk daarna. In de namiddag het toch klaar gespeeld om te quilten en eindelijk is er nog een AFFO ipv een UFO LOL. De quilt die ik voor mijn kleinzoon gemaakt heb voor zijn eerste Kerst is uiteindelijk volledig gequilt geraakt. Hij heeft hem wel kunnen gebruiken als speelquilt omdat ik met de machine "in the ditch quilten" gedaan had. Er was nog wel heel veel handquilten nodig alvorens ik hem kan wassen en vandaag is het dus zover - hij is af. <br />Nu kan ik me concentreren op andere projecten.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM63NShQSqFUH7p4tEbHOzpfjvKY2tNvyrRxDxelmmsX64sWaZpOF4OrXDxcz1CytdfgLHBMY8z7Hk9ohmNrrtFLWs2s78h7lGOU1GE7XCz-6ZwQs37HlEnAAkas7hdLp-lRSjvt4SINeL/s1600-h/Quilt+top+-+7th+January+2009.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM63NShQSqFUH7p4tEbHOzpfjvKY2tNvyrRxDxelmmsX64sWaZpOF4OrXDxcz1CytdfgLHBMY8z7Hk9ohmNrrtFLWs2s78h7lGOU1GE7XCz-6ZwQs37HlEnAAkas7hdLp-lRSjvt4SINeL/s320/Quilt+top+-+7th+January+2009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424408198784085042" /></a><br />Hierbij nog een paar foto's van mijn Y2K quilt center - zij tonen de overgang naar de andere kleuren.

You might remember that I made this quilt for his 1st Christmas - having machine quilted in the ditch so that he could use it as a play-quilt. Before washing it I needed to do a lot of hand quilting to it and finally today I turned another UFO into a FO (finished object) looks weird when you abbreviate it LOL.<br /><br />I am als attaching some other photo's of my Y2K quilt showing the other part of the center as the colours go over into the darker once. Now I am free to carry on with this as an UFO and carry on with my next "landscape quilt" - more about this later.Jenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-42474832105420577622010-01-01T18:41:00.005+01:002010-01-01T18:51:14.871+01:00Het is weeral zover - we schrijven 2010 wat vliegt de tijd toch snel.

De volgende dagen ga ik proberen om een paar van de genomen foto's te plaatsen. De eerste foto is een plannetje op papier van hoe ik de blokken wenste te plaatsen - een nodige geheugensteun.<br />This first photo is a plan on paper of the blocks as I wanted to place them in the centre of the quilt - a necessary step:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8dXewjnDFCDLuh6QX_GNvk7OjT14iuUsrAeT7ZzfYTZ3qegkH_Bjc3YtVREeat10Q5ZnaTyjjs0Y6FkWhq5olFzLMK88WbksfLKuQr73xyQGNgEo59sEv1MnFQg1FSilDvPWq_myVZTfO/s1600-h/Layout+on+paper+-+complete.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 249px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8dXewjnDFCDLuh6QX_GNvk7OjT14iuUsrAeT7ZzfYTZ3qegkH_Bjc3YtVREeat10Q5ZnaTyjjs0Y6FkWhq5olFzLMK88WbksfLKuQr73xyQGNgEo59sEv1MnFQg1FSilDvPWq_myVZTfO/s320/Layout+on+paper+-+complete.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417749010481624034" /></a><br />It's been ages again since I last worked on my blog. 2009 has not been a very good year healthwise so I mainly concentrated on working on my UFO's. During the coming days I will try and post some of the photo's and try and take photo's of some more - weather permitting as these last few weeks it has been dark early and late and never a good light for taking photo's at all.

Of het gaat lukken weet ik nog niet maar hoop doet leven. Een tijdje geleden had ik 15 blokken klaar gemaakt om te naaien. Een tijdrovend werkje aangezien ik nu aan mijn "blending" blocks bezig ben. m.a.w een blok die de overgang van een kleur naar een andere weergeeft. Ieder jaar in de zomer - de kleuren zijn zo veel beter in het zonlicht dan bij lamplicht bereid ik enkele blokken voor. Gewoonlijk gaan die dan mee op vakantie. Door het feit dat ik nu toch weinig anders kan doen ben ik alvast begonnen met het naaien van de blokken. Alles gebeurd nog op de traditionele manier, mijn stofjes bestaan uit 2.5" en 3" lapjes, nadat ik ze gesorteerd heb, teken ik het patroontje d.m.v. een malletje op de achterkant, knippen en dan pin ik deze op papier. <br />Hierbij enkele foto's van de gevolgde procedure. Morgen hopelijk foto's van de blokken die ik deze laatste dagen gemaakt heb. Meer foto's staan er op mijn webshots pagina.<br />1.

A while ago I had started preparing 15 "blending" blocks. They will be used to join one colour to another colour. This has been a summer job for quite a few years now - the colours show up much better in the sunshine than in the lamp light. Since I can do little else I have now started making up these blocks. Very much in the traditional way I start by choosing my colours from the 2.5" and 3" bits of fabric, then they get pinned to a piece of fabric. The pattern gets drawn on the back, cut and pinned again, ready to sew. I have included some photo's of the procedure I follow. Tomorrow hopefully photo's of the blocks I have made in the last few days. More photo's can be seen on my webshots page.Jenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-13381224621908681682009-08-30T15:24:00.006+02:002009-08-30T15:37:23.795+02:00Het weekend is steeds zo snel voorbij. Enkele zullen zich misschien het landschapsquiltje herinneren dat ik begonnen ben gedurende een workshop van <a href="http://www.margaretmroberts.com/index.html">Margaret M. Roberts</a>. Het is nu eindelijk gequilt en nu nog enkel de details toevoegen - enkele rotsen, zeewier enz. Daarna kan ik het laten inkaderen en op naar de volgende UFO.<br />Nog een prettige zondag,<br />groetjes<br />Jenny<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9v58PHCAcYJCVe-bxuP1k703FrWjKHDgRMcLjBfLI4ww9DsFlSJkJuS4NuA7CoSXYjWyQlRL4DRktUxZbLFfBrm8rw-1Oqm4OpnWXmXjjb1Hf3PJTKsIqhyphenhyphenR5gpD9cIo0J8dyEys7rKZx/s1600-h/Kleinmond+ZA+-+gequilt.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9v58PHCAcYJCVe-bxuP1k703FrWjKHDgRMcLjBfLI4ww9DsFlSJkJuS4NuA7CoSXYjWyQlRL4DRktUxZbLFfBrm8rw-1Oqm4OpnWXmXjjb1Hf3PJTKsIqhyphenhyphenR5gpD9cIo0J8dyEys7rKZx/s320/Kleinmond+ZA+-+gequilt.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375748749464208994" /></a><br />Weekends fly - some of you may remember the landscape quilt which I started during a workshop by <a href="http://www.margaretmroberts.com/index.html">Margaret M. Roberts</a>. I finally managed to quilt it and this week I will be adding the details such as rock constructions and seaweed etc. and it will be ready to be framed. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product. Then full go for the next UFO.<br />Have a wonderful Sunday,<br />JennyJenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-85290531252775400902009-08-28T11:31:00.003+02:002009-08-28T17:50:40.883+02:00Ik kan het niet nalaten enkele foto's van mijn kleinzoon en mijn vader met 3 van zijn kleinkinderen en 3 achter-kleinkinderen toe te voegen - kwestie van een persoonlijke noot :-))<br /><br />I cannot resist adding a few personal photo's - two of my grandson taken two weeks ago - caught in the act - no wonder he was so quite :-)) and the other is of my father (89 years old) my son and grandson and two of his grand-daughters and their children. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizhJtTnebM6-alj5xw2oknDwgJe1csowxaHnSeMSVbrfnql_1Exl92waaE73wdD-iLiXWvvb4GpYTXd-QZnL6M3gKH1UI7BrNZJ6nphuBLp982yoojDKdDp-KgLL9HIKQv_4bQ64U23FZl/s1600-h/augustus+16+-+Vo+met+kleinkinderen+en+achterkleinkinderen+07.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizhJtTnebM6-alj5xw2oknDwgJe1csowxaHnSeMSVbrfnql_1Exl92waaE73wdD-iLiXWvvb4GpYTXd-QZnL6M3gKH1UI7BrNZJ6nphuBLp982yoojDKdDp-KgLL9HIKQv_4bQ64U23FZl/s320/augustus+16+-+Vo+met+kleinkinderen+en+achterkleinkinderen+07.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374946122031508562" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRXsmlIf-u7-Yh85_bJ01889xC3glJM8cNI1T9sd9YZHD96d6js5U7kC4gvd0rTJyC0Vuw5-Zo79aKsb-zk0CQ0ztdA7UKh7Qgar2WOimEwJhz1URC64NUoaCZ2y78t5o1LdBTzBX8GsgD/s1600-h/Ben+-+caught+in+the+act.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 218px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRXsmlIf-u7-Yh85_bJ01889xC3glJM8cNI1T9sd9YZHD96d6js5U7kC4gvd0rTJyC0Vuw5-Zo79aKsb-zk0CQ0ztdA7UKh7Qgar2WOimEwJhz1URC64NUoaCZ2y78t5o1LdBTzBX8GsgD/s320/Ben+-+caught+in+the+act.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374946118577997634" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5x94NTK-DSGMqoz4f49kJD6C7vrVwVjpzU7gsUEDkmpCJT623DIGFDYrw2OvorKCfFo5R4dQOMnfOw7bL7PFCByAWM4_eCG70lnqcJJbSEeXp-0HKmwR5oK5V_ErqZfAJIdxKJGyyhXmM/s1600-h/Augustus+12+-+Ben++-+caught+in+the+act+5.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5x94NTK-DSGMqoz4f49kJD6C7vrVwVjpzU7gsUEDkmpCJT623DIGFDYrw2OvorKCfFo5R4dQOMnfOw7bL7PFCByAWM4_eCG70lnqcJJbSEeXp-0HKmwR5oK5V_ErqZfAJIdxKJGyyhXmM/s320/Augustus+12+-+Ben++-+caught+in+the+act+5.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374946106678732818" /></a>Jenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-62053973162625279272009-08-28T11:02:00.006+02:002009-08-28T17:51:35.061+02:00Zoals gezegd heb ik me kunnen bezig houden met een paar zaken - borduren en mijn Y2K quilt.

Dinsdag heb ik een kleine ingreep moeten ondergaan aan mijn rechtervoet en ben ik nu 2 weken immobiel - een beetje met de hulp van krukken rond pikkelen. Het geeft me tijd om een weinig achterstand in te halen. Daarna nog 2 weken met een verband en dan hopelijk is die miserie achter de rug. Aan alle trouwe bezoekers nogmaals dank, hopelijk krijgen jullie in het vervolg enkele nieuwe zaken te zien.<br />groetjes<br />Jenny<br /><br />Hi everyone, <br />Finally I start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and I will be able to start spending more time with my hobbies and blogging off course :-))<br />The last few months have been extremely busy in more ways than one. My health hasn't been what it should be either. Last Tuesday I had a small operation to my right foot which leaves me imobile for the next two weeks - hopping around on crutches and keeping my leg up as much as possible. It gives me time to catch up on a few matters, including computer time. After that another 2 weeks with a bandage and hopefully then at last I will be able to put that part behind me for good - fingers crossed.<br />To all my loyal visitors, thanks again, from now on hopefully you will be finding new things appear.<br />JennyJenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-72724114456958985472009-07-22T21:10:00.003+02:002009-08-28T17:53:08.898+02:00Na een paar moeilijke maanden ben ik er deze week uiteindelijk in geslaagd om terug wat aan mijn hobby te werken. Een van mijn jarenplan quilts is mijn Y2K quilt - voor hen die toen nog niet door de quiltbug gebeten waren betekend dit mijn Jaar 2000quilt. Ja inderdaad 2000. In 1998 is het begonnen langzaam maar zeker begonnen tot het uiteindelijk een ware wedstrijd werd voor sommige deelnemers. Er is toen iemand op het idee gekomen om pakketjes stofjes te ruilen 24stuks + 1 siggy (handtekening blokje) - men kon kiezen tussen 2.5" of 3" pakjes. Ik ruilde beide.<br /><br />Nu denk ik dat het merendeel van de deelnemers gewoon alle blokjes aan elkaar stikten met de siggy in het midden, blok per blok. Er zijn er andere geweest die de meest uiteenlopende ideeën uitgewerkt hebben wat geleid heeft tot prachtige quilts.Jenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-130117570670492992009-06-22T11:13:00.004+02:002009-08-28T17:53:35.513+02:00Hallo iedereen - het is heel lang geleden dat ik nog een berichtje gestuurd heb - deels door persoonlijke problemen (bijna opgelost) en deels door medische problemen (ook bijna opgelost). Deze twee zaken lieten mij aan het einde van de dag uitgeput en uitgeblust achter. Hopelijk komt hier zeer binnenkort betering in. Aan diegene die mijn blog toch nog regelmatig bezocht hebben hartelijk dank - vanaf heden ga ik proberen terug al jullie blogs te bezoeken en mijn achterstand inhalen, groetjes <br />Jenny<br /><br />Hi everyone, it has been ages since I have sent a message on my blog, partly through personal problems and partly through medical problems (both of which are nearly sorted out TG). A combination of both left me completely drained by the end of the day and I am happy to say that things are looking up and I will soon have more time and especially energy to get going again. To all those that despite this are still visiting my blog my heartfelt thanks. As from now I am going to try and catch up with all your blogs again,<br />hugs<br />JennyJenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-48911621322900040722009-05-09T20:32:00.004+02:002009-08-28T17:54:02.240+02:00Gelukkige moederdag aan alle moeders morgen,<br />Ter herinnering aan mijn eigen dierbare moeder een foto van haar met mezelf genomen in 1949 in de tuin van ons huis in Congo.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5n2kXSPwsg5BAuoUBzx3mIODVs7TWsRua3dQsdkCnRPvN3fwvrhzlDPV6osA3YiCywQodwUqSGjQJB_oG10KXjTHCTPI3PlN3cqF2GTBeYBA-8u2DqbD84PImQK4SbDj1TW9qM3gsyI2k/s1600-h/019+-+1949+-+Moe+met+Jenny+in+onzen+tuin+-+Filtisaf.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 209px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5n2kXSPwsg5BAuoUBzx3mIODVs7TWsRua3dQsdkCnRPvN3fwvrhzlDPV6osA3YiCywQodwUqSGjQJB_oG10KXjTHCTPI3PlN3cqF2GTBeYBA-8u2DqbD84PImQK4SbDj1TW9qM3gsyI2k/s320/019+-+1949+-+Moe+met+Jenny+in+onzen+tuin+-+Filtisaf.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333894917355610466" /></a><br /><br />A happy mother's day to all mothers tomorrow, <br />In memory of my own dear mother a photo of her and myself taken in 1949 in the garden of our house in Congo.Jenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-11239866835751784262009-05-09T20:11:00.005+02:002009-08-28T17:54:27.044+02:00Vliegen bij jullie de dagen ook zo snel voorbij? Altijd maar druk bezig met alles en nog wat en het is alweer weekend. In mijn stash heb ik volgende stofjes gevonden die goed passen bij de borduursel voor het redwork quiltje. Nu nog een patroon uitwerken, dat zal wel niet te moeilijk zijn zeker.<br /><br />Where has the time gone to again? Always busy running around doing one thing and another and before we know it is weekend again. Looking through my stash I found these fabrics which I think will go well with the stitcheries for the redwork quilt I have planned. Now I need to come up with some pattern - nothing too complicated, nice and simple after all it is for a baby's room.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcJZtYg03txxmxm6j1USr_m2hKxhOLxHQ3L21GRl7P2PrzRDO194eNAEql5mGBHPa8Uck9Em1BHu_CMFhRopjcTjnR4I98JdLqSEps5F24YrqpvEmrbZtRiUYAvo9tCy5AUdcltLFloyP/s1600-h/fabric+2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 171px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcJZtYg03txxmxm6j1USr_m2hKxhOLxHQ3L21GRl7P2PrzRDO194eNAEql5mGBHPa8Uck9Em1BHu_CMFhRopjcTjnR4I98JdLqSEps5F24YrqpvEmrbZtRiUYAvo9tCy5AUdcltLFloyP/s320/fabric+2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333891623448725458" /></a><br /><br />I have not forgotten about the quilt for my grandson Ben. I am almost finished the hand quilting part and soon I will be able to give the quilt its first wash. Since he used it as a playquilt for quite a while it is showing evidence of all sorts of things LOL.

Daarna een eerste wasbeurt en dan is hij klaar voor zijn groot bed. De quilt is reeds veelvuldig gebruikt als speelquilt en toont duidelijk tekenen hiervan. Ik heb nog wel wat stof over om een kussenovertrek te maken. Dat is dan voor later.<br /><br />Nog een fijne avond,<br />JennyJenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-3383810714360545652009-05-05T17:37:00.006+02:002009-05-05T17:55:38.832+02:00On the 25th April I promised to post some photo's of the stitcheries I worked on for a redwork quilt. They come out of a panel I bought at Creativa Brussels last year, presented by <a href="http://www.windhamfabrics.com/cgi-bin/fabricshop/gallery.cgi?Category=8">Windham Fabrics </a>as Redworks by <a href="http://www.thequiltercommunity.com/Wc9bfe4d96f4d6.htm">Susie Osburn</a>. Today I finally get to do so - life can take over sometimes and cut right into our quilting time but here I go:<br /><br />Op 25 april heb ik beloofd enkele foto's te tonen van de borduurpatroontjes die ik in een redwork quilt ga verwerken voor mijn broer zijn kleinkind. Ondertussen is er alweer een tijd verlopen maar hier ben ik dan. De werkjes komen uit een paneel dat ik verleden jaar op Creativa Brussel gekocht heb - Redworks by Susie Osburn - uitgebracht door Windham Fabrics.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijZ0DZfhoZL6a1cYgXDcILNMTVUg39dOD1dlcJxEakih15xtHrOazoEzdDgOZws2XWGTNr46vP-9r7RGv7TDz3EQvFs4nImxz8J6J66LZXxTNw4rD_SNiR-gFEHIwNr454k3xySfFifR__/s1600-h/schoenen.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 293px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijZ0DZfhoZL6a1cYgXDcILNMTVUg39dOD1dlcJxEakih15xtHrOazoEzdDgOZws2XWGTNr46vP-9r7RGv7TDz3EQvFs4nImxz8J6J66LZXxTNw4rD_SNiR-gFEHIwNr454k3xySfFifR__/s320/schoenen.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332366610792734866" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5q3pMNMJvAohOOw9FwZmV2ogBkWne1EPfb-0pcPKuqczmbSuHrAwZIdmGgKa0khbKJUxUCbuQFtc5Qd2lB-Jj0wRZZjpXCla0Bhc08DYhZQ2RzROMPkLjIRwZKQLLA9h5DBp9UQE_EhKS/s1600-h/Kind+met+kat+op+stoel.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 295px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5q3pMNMJvAohOOw9FwZmV2ogBkWne1EPfb-0pcPKuqczmbSuHrAwZIdmGgKa0khbKJUxUCbuQFtc5Qd2lB-Jj0wRZZjpXCla0Bhc08DYhZQ2RzROMPkLjIRwZKQLLA9h5DBp9UQE_EhKS/s320/Kind+met+kat+op+stoel.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332366609270849202" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLustQpuoM-eOJRkvmEQKIlkBjzZ4tWexaqe6jwhosJvPncwuWBskgbO20350pVBJegHT9D86nhuNkr19YfgDfbAOkGl8ciGdFcSCv8jUAO6OgHjxC-09kWqCdv84VApXwa69nAaXFcMtd/s1600-h/kat+in+schoen.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLustQpuoM-eOJRkvmEQKIlkBjzZ4tWexaqe6jwhosJvPncwuWBskgbO20350pVBJegHT9D86nhuNkr19YfgDfbAOkGl8ciGdFcSCv8jUAO6OgHjxC-09kWqCdv84VApXwa69nAaXFcMtd/s320/kat+in+schoen.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332366603488928178" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxF_4kIiuiVwoF72MxU7BBH5O0xlySauik5M17WzVsK2rOdyDfGJLPweoJZDRRmKrrYY-VCZimXXiUm_95Rh-dmDQwZPDdo586hKEIb3CctTj844FxJFwQ4zTW8vTioPZhI_yBIvhyphenhyphenkxC8/s1600-h/haan.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 285px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxF_4kIiuiVwoF72MxU7BBH5O0xlySauik5M17WzVsK2rOdyDfGJLPweoJZDRRmKrrYY-VCZimXXiUm_95Rh-dmDQwZPDdo586hKEIb3CctTj844FxJFwQ4zTW8vTioPZhI_yBIvhyphenhyphenkxC8/s320/haan.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332366600446209826" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRIGUGaSvltXzbk1jtC4tpywcNCWzU0X_nFi5vRiOxuIiBi41F2PBxCoaUrH-hw1yrYnbdFkrfKBXgpb0Z_hx4I4bQG2p98WuZUoDTAVpHXwwZvfuQUdSwRFV7qaSBAvLav9Absv7rgRQN/s1600-h/dame+met+spiegel.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRIGUGaSvltXzbk1jtC4tpywcNCWzU0X_nFi5vRiOxuIiBi41F2PBxCoaUrH-hw1yrYnbdFkrfKBXgpb0Z_hx4I4bQG2p98WuZUoDTAVpHXwwZvfuQUdSwRFV7qaSBAvLav9Absv7rgRQN/s320/dame+met+spiegel.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332366597627816002" /></a><br />Next I'll be looking for suitable fabrics to go with the stitcheries.<br />Happy quilting<br />JennyJenny in Belgiumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07006932440388732604noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647722963072334136.post-19939697295241634002009-05-04T16:14:00.012+02:002009-08-28T17:55:35.026+02:00Visit to Veldhoven<br />Saturday the second of May my friend and I visited the European Quilts Championship Exhibition in Veldhoven the Netherlands. It was a welcome break after two week of working solidly. We enjoyed the exhibition very much but were dissappointed at the way the quilts were displayed; some of them were so high up that after a few hours you ended up with a sore neck plus one could not see any of the details on any of the quilts, not even those hanging lower down. A great pity since a lot of the quilters must have gone through a lot of trouble and effort to give their quilts that little extra. Taking photo's was another problem. We did but unfortunately most of them were rather blurred. You could buy a DVD of the entire exhibition but I prefer taking my own photo's. At the cost of 12Euro's entrance fee I at least like to see the quilts in detail and not on a DVD. I did leave a comment on the site of the organisers and hopefully next year their display will be a bit kinder to the visitors. Otherwise it was a great exhibition with some outstanding quilts and off course lots of shops. Shop till you drop was the message :-))<br /><br />For those that would like to see the winning quilts you can go to the following site<br /><a href="http://www.oeqc.eu/indexnl.php?i=69">Veldhoven</a><br /><br />I bought two books that will help me (I hope) with future landscape quilts that I have planned.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaNMvDXNFudciGWIUMSK7nn_KB5VzgWdEqnIJO8P2U1qbDLvfWlEGSKNahr4RibNn6UhtBu9HM7cFrAlnsk6ol5yOv795GMAUaY7aA4ARFAA4M0CHRCkjACHvfM4Cd6FQO-o9WE2KRJGfc/s1600-h/Pieceful+Scenes+by+Angela+Madden.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaNMvDXNFudciGWIUMSK7nn_KB5VzgWdEqnIJO8P2U1qbDLvfWlEGSKNahr4RibNn6UhtBu9HM7cFrAlnsk6ol5yOv795GMAUaY7aA4ARFAA4M0CHRCkjACHvfM4Cd6FQO-o9WE2KRJGfc/s320/Pieceful+Scenes+by+Angela+Madden.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331983167361627122" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXvtydN7WGrsrjuAVWopHng6Aj3UNAcNC3cp4Ilgpl1_1maXogjAXGdzxMv5mQ0NOZ1c9bV4-Q_hAOylLkRc4bKmVpM_tD0892fwj4i_Bx9n8N9avRj88bPhBXMXAIkDNYxmGXs3igMBJ/s1600-h/Between+the+Sheets+with+Angelina.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 227px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXvtydN7WGrsrjuAVWopHng6Aj3UNAcNC3cp4Ilgpl1_1maXogjAXGdzxMv5mQ0NOZ1c9bV4-Q_hAOylLkRc4bKmVpM_tD0892fwj4i_Bx9n8N9avRj88bPhBXMXAIkDNYxmGXs3igMBJ/s320/Between+the+Sheets+with+Angelina.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331983156331101426" /></a><br />The quilt "King Solomon's Magical Carpet" won a price of merit and was made by my friend <a href="http://shulamitron.typepad.com/quilts_from_canaan/">Shulamit</a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw8cnWk1yoiPmU17MMxVaWkzUmtS4TxWZ7DWW6PcsBNYnExE89_TeOaGzRYT0Ozc1O8rp-LZMvbW8mlmF2ejQE8dlyWcsBHXGesJr6HQikEzh4F359xM55cKa-uFZNw0MtOnGCtFTybH6Y/s1600-h/King+Solomon%27s+magical+Carpet+by+Shulamit+Ron.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 254px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw8cnWk1yoiPmU17MMxVaWkzUmtS4TxWZ7DWW6PcsBNYnExE89_TeOaGzRYT0Ozc1O8rp-LZMvbW8mlmF2ejQE8dlyWcsBHXGesJr6HQikEzh4F359xM55cKa-uFZNw0MtOnGCtFTybH6Y/s320/King+Solomon%27s+magical+Carpet+by+Shulamit+Ron.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331986950234994946" /></a><br /><br />A photo of Christiane (no blogger) and myself at the stand of <a href="http://www.pineneedles.com/Company/meetmckenna.asp">McKenna Ryan</a> she was demonstrating some of her newer selection blocks.
