Ik ben benieuwd of er de komende dagen nog verse sneeuw zal gaan vallen....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;At the moment the snow is disappearing like snow in summer. I wonder whether the coming days fresh snow will fall ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FfTne3i3sgc/TzUY08x81KI/AAAAAAAACPY/CKzwEnLhw4s/s1600/P1090486b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FfTne3i3sgc/TzUY08x81KI/AAAAAAAACPY/CKzwEnLhw4s/s400/P1090486b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Afgelopen zaterdagochtend was ik al bijtijds buiten, lopend door de verse sneeuw op weg naar &lt;a href="http://haar/" target="_blank"&gt;haar&lt;/a&gt;, waar we opgehaald zouden worden door &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ellavvliet.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;haar&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;om naar de Quiltexpo in Vijfhuizen te gaan. Het was prachtig buiten dus heb ik onderweg alvast wat foto's gemaakt. 't Was me een partij koud! Gelukkig kon ik eerst weer even mijn vingers warmen aan een lekker bakje koffie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Last Saturday I was outside early, walking through the fresh snow, on the way to &lt;a href="http://mupminoes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;her&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;It was beautiful outside, so I made some pictures en route. It was COLD. Luckily I could warm my hands on a warm cup of coffee.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bij de Expo, waar het 's ochtends nog flink koud was, hebben we eerst de quilts van &lt;a href="http://www.google.nl/search?q=henk+van+kooten+quilts&amp;amp;hl=nl&amp;amp;prmd=imvnso&amp;amp;source=lnms&amp;amp;tbm=isch&amp;amp;ei=WSo1T-_-KMOk-gbfzsTrAQ&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=mode_link&amp;amp;ct=mode&amp;amp;cd=2&amp;amp;sqi=2&amp;amp;ved=0CA4Q_AUoAQ&amp;amp;biw=1366&amp;amp;bih=643" target="_blank"&gt;Henk van Kooten&lt;/a&gt; en &lt;a href="http://www.cosman.nl/index_nl.php" target="_blank"&gt;Arnout Cosman&lt;/a&gt; bewonderd.

Natuurlijk hebben we ook de andere exposities nog bekeken. Hieronder nog wat foto's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ik zie net dat de quilt van de paarse boom hieronder wel wat weg heeft van mijn bovenste foto, vind je ook niet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;After we had seen those, we were easily distracted (or should I say seduced) by the attending retailers.&amp;nbsp;Of course we have also seen the other quilt-shows. Some pictures are shown below.&amp;nbsp;I just see that the quilt of the purple tree looks a bit like the tree on my top picture, don't you think?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3PASm5TipYA/TzUt5lK5xVI/AAAAAAAACQY/GHxKRkaqSDU/s1600/P1090517-1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="276" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3PASm5TipYA/TzUt5lK5xVI/AAAAAAAACQY/GHxKRkaqSDU/s400/P1090517-1b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oD0Qm25-pf0/TzUt1krIFlI/AAAAAAAACQI/8wc_A8R-lLk/s1600/P1090513-1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oD0Qm25-pf0/TzUt1krIFlI/AAAAAAAACQI/8wc_A8R-lLk/s400/P1090513-1b.jpg" width="326" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ba1taDaUcuA/TzUtzR4RKEI/AAAAAAAACQA/lebpHDe8LyI/s1600/P1090508-1b+Olivia+Uffer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="367" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ba1taDaUcuA/TzUtzR4RKEI/AAAAAAAACQA/lebpHDe8LyI/s400/P1090508-1b+Olivia+Uffer.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6mONQvxtalQ/TzVAZ5UjgnI/AAAAAAAACQg/TeYi4Mf3ZxY/s1600/P1090505-1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6mONQvxtalQ/TzVAZ5UjgnI/AAAAAAAACQg/TeYi4Mf3ZxY/s400/P1090505-1b.jpg" width="270" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nu lijkt het of ik alleen moderne quilts mooi vind, maar dat is echt niet zo. Quilts als deze vind ik ook helemaal te gek, en die kan ik tenminste zelf ook maken....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Maybe it seems that I only like modern quilts, but that really isn't true.&amp;nbsp;I think quilts like these are also totally awesome, and at least I can make these myself!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZSNgg3UZA78/TzVAcv0bWYI/AAAAAAAACQo/Ypr7RO0oLSU/s1600/P1090506-1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="280" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZSNgg3UZA78/TzVAcv0bWYI/AAAAAAAACQo/Ypr7RO0oLSU/s320/P1090506-1b.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hi1l4fFyEZk/TzVAgXUc3CI/AAAAAAAACQw/xY5SyFnthd8/s1600/P1090514-1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hi1l4fFyEZk/TzVAgXUc3CI/AAAAAAAACQw/xY5SyFnthd8/s320/P1090514-1b.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Heb je nog wat gekocht? Ja dus! Maar ik heb me netjes ingehouden hoor. Patronen van van kleine quilts met papieren en/of perspex mallen, een tijdschrift en maar 2 fat quarters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Ik wil &amp;nbsp;nog steeds eens een mooie ajour omslagdoek breien. En toen was daar de stand van &lt;a href="http://bart-francis.be/index.php?action=home&amp;amp;lang=NL" target="_blank"&gt;Bart en Francis&lt;/a&gt;, Belgen, met prachtige wol, zijde en andere garens. Een van de twee was een beste praatjesmaker, die wilde me wel garen verkopen waarmee ik poetsdoeken kon breien. Daar trapte ik mooi niet in! Hun garens gingen als bananen over de toonbank.....en smaken naar meer...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j-y-SO4W_QU/TzVB6GRTY1I/AAAAAAAACQ4/dxsUOXMo56A/s1600/P1090537.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j-y-SO4W_QU/TzVB6GRTY1I/AAAAAAAACQ4/dxsUOXMo56A/s320/P1090537.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;Have I bought something?

Dat vind ik niet zo heel erg, want het is zooo leuk om aan te werken. Het enige nadeel is, dat ik nog zoveel meer zou willen maken, en dat schiet dan ook niet erg op. Maar deze Aunt Millie quilt gaat volgens mij wel heel mooi worden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jeah! I finished the last block of the Aunt Millies Garden Quilt...Now I must start with the borders. It will still take a long time before the Aunt Millie quilt will be finished completely.&amp;nbsp;I don't mind, because it is sooo fun to work on.&amp;nbsp;The only drawback is that I would love to make much more and I don't have much time for that. But it seems to me that this Aunt Millie quilt is going to be very beautiful.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qxfQz8pvDV0/TyxQ8ctJbXI/AAAAAAAACOI/-MDV9bO0G1M/s1600/042-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qxfQz8pvDV0/TyxQ8ctJbXI/AAAAAAAACOI/-MDV9bO0G1M/s320/042-1.JPG" width="273" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A-bFZmUXYJk/TyxRRzsjTtI/AAAAAAAACOQ/Ip8_ueiaZRI/s1600/039b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A-bFZmUXYJk/TyxRRzsjTtI/AAAAAAAACOQ/Ip8_ueiaZRI/s320/039b.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vorig weekend hadden we weer een running dinner. Ik heb er &lt;a href="http://www.lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/10/nazomerdiner-late-summer-dinner.html" target="_blank"&gt;eerder al eens&lt;/a&gt; over verteld. Het was weer super! We hebben weer ontzettend lekker gegeten en sublieme wijn gedronken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-urtFArcX6_s/TyxTtzpI8YI/AAAAAAAACOY/e8HtrgchIuw/s1600/043b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-urtFArcX6_s/TyxTtzpI8YI/AAAAAAAACOY/e8HtrgchIuw/s320/043b.jpg" width="219" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Last weekend we had a running dinner again. I told you &lt;a href="http://www.lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/10/nazomerdiner-late-summer-dinner.html" target="_blank"&gt;once before&lt;/a&gt; about it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;It was super! Again we had very good food and superb wines.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0kAdOJGFwG4/TyxTvfaKp0I/AAAAAAAACOg/bx6TNO7VUEk/s1600/045b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0kAdOJGFwG4/TyxTvfaKp0I/AAAAAAAACOg/bx6TNO7VUEk/s320/045b.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We begonnen met een glaasje witte port met daarna een paar cherry tomaatjes, gevuld met rauwe ham, rucola en dressing met daarover geraspte parmezaanse kaas. Daarna 2 puntjes hartige taart, 1 met ricotta en pesto en 1 met oa tomaat, olijf en ansjovis, daarbij truffelsaus en een paar druppels balsamicoazijn. LEKKER! &amp;nbsp;Daarna op de fiets gestapt, op naar het volgende adres voor het hoofdgerecht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We started with a glass of white port, then a few cherry tomatoes stuffed with dried ham, rucola and a dressing, and on top some grated parmesan cheese.&amp;nbsp;Then 2 slices of pie: 1 with ricotta and pesto and 1 with tomato, olives and anchovy accompanied by truffle sause and a few drops of balsamic vinegar.&amp;nbsp;DELICIOUS! Then we stepped on our bikes, headed for the following address for the main course.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0ZdvSoifA9w/TyxV8UJHUlI/AAAAAAAACOw/4zHTi_VLWRg/s1600/055b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="130" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0ZdvSoifA9w/TyxV8UJHUlI/AAAAAAAACOw/4zHTi_VLWRg/s200/055b.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iCPwKT8ZRjw/TyxV64vf7lI/AAAAAAAACOo/30SNzlIV57s/s1600/054b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iCPwKT8ZRjw/TyxV64vf7lI/AAAAAAAACOo/30SNzlIV57s/s320/054b.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heel apart en heel lekker: eendeborstfilet met sinaasappel portsaus, spruitjes en puree van paarse aardappeltjes die in slagroom gaar gekookt zijn. Ik wist helemaal niet dat er paarse aardappels bestonden, laat staan dat ze in slagroom gekookt konden worden! Alsof er een engeltje.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Very special and very, very tasty: duck breast with orange and port sauce, Brussels sprouts and mashed purple potatoes which were cooked in cream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I did not know purple potatoes existed, let alone that they could be cooked in cream! As if an angel .......(I hope you know what I mean, I've translated a Dutch expression directly into English).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toen een klein stukje lopen naar ons huis, waar we het dessert opdienden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Then a short walk to our house, where we served the dessert.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M0Tuf4TwUzA/TyxbZtRlY7I/AAAAAAAACO4/ZqCcBMC_3VM/s1600/062b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="237" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M0Tuf4TwUzA/TyxbZtRlY7I/AAAAAAAACO4/ZqCcBMC_3VM/s320/062b.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--eYYAcfjAlU/TyxbpbIxONI/AAAAAAAACPA/jtrVYEOVKJU/s1600/060b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--eYYAcfjAlU/TyxbpbIxONI/AAAAAAAACPA/jtrVYEOVKJU/s320/060b.jpg" width="220" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Dat viel gelukkig ook goed in de smaak. In plaats van een zoet dessert, hadden we gekozen voor kaas. Een kaastaartje met &amp;nbsp;bleu d'auvergne met port-marmeladesaus, perentaart met honing en noten, wat stukjes kaas en een paar druiven. Daarbij hadden we een prachtige wijn&amp;nbsp;Mas Amiel&amp;nbsp;(vin doux naturel)&amp;nbsp;die we jaaaaren geleden tijdens een vakantie in Maury, Frankrijk hebben gekocht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fortunately that was well appreciated too.&amp;nbsp;Instead of a sweet dessert, we had chosen for cheese.&amp;nbsp;A cheese tart with bleu d'Auvergne with a red port and marmelade sauce, pear tart with honey and nuts, some slices of cheese and some grapes.&amp;nbsp;We chose a wonderful wine Mas Amiel (vin doux naturel) which we bought during a holiday, many, many years ago in Maury, France, .&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Er is ook altijd veel om over te praten en voor je het weet, is het toch weer laat geworden. Het was weer superlekker en supergezellig.... &amp;nbsp;Binnenkort moet ik helaas toch eens gaan bepalen wanneer ik begin met lijnen. Dat blijf ik maar uitstellen, vind je het vreemd?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;There is always a lot to talk about and before you know, it is very late. &amp;nbsp;It was delicious and very entertaining.... Soon I must decide when I start a diet to lose some weight.&amp;nbsp;That I keep on postponing, very odd, don't you think?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yjbboZ6p4Bc/Ty6jrmMXXjI/AAAAAAAACPI/7F61lefrO5o/s1600/Winter+2012_20120203_0003+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yjbboZ6p4Bc/Ty6jrmMXXjI/AAAAAAAACPI/7F61lefrO5o/s320/Winter+2012_20120203_0003+b.jpg" width="238" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Sneeuwwandeling 3-2-2012 &amp;nbsp;Willeke en Iris&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Intussen zijn we alweer een week verder, is het berekoud geworden en ligt er een pak sneeuw! Gelukkig was het zaterdag zonnig en droog en kon het geplande bezoek aan de expo &lt;a href="http://www.patchworkenquilt.nl/artikelen/home.html" target="_blank"&gt;Patchwork en Quiltdagen&lt;/a&gt; in Vijfhuizen gewoon doorgaan. Ik probeer zo snel mogelijk wat foto's te laten zien.&lt;br /&gt;Geniet nog van de laatste uurtjes van het weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Meanwhile another week has passed, it became very cold and there is a lot of snow!&amp;nbsp;Luckily Saturday was a sunny and dry day and the planned visit to the exhibition &lt;a href="http://www.patchworkenquilt.nl/index.php?articleid=45" target="_blank"&gt;Patchwork en Quiltdagen &lt;/a&gt;could carry on.&amp;nbsp;I will try to write a new blogpost as soon as possible and show you some pictures.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Enjoy the last few hours of your weekend!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/287/CFED4826ECD966F9C1EEF2BF7CA8A587.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-4338624237599276945?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/4338624237599276945/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=4338624237599276945&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/4338624237599276945'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/4338624237599276945'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2012/02/jeah.html' title='Jeah!'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sZL_7UuH4Zo/TyxNfP8bwNI/AAAAAAAACOA/i5wZqsO1YWQ/s72-c/029b.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-8862659707963840542</id><published>2012-01-29T17:39:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T17:39:07.989+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Camelot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lekprikkers'/><title type='text'>Waarom koop ik quiltstof?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Nou, waarom niet!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Why do I buy quilt-fabrics?

Het vierde blok had ik hier nog niet laten zien.&lt;br /&gt;Op de foto zie ik dat de ronde naad rechtsboven niet mooi is. Wat denken jullie, zou ik 'm losmaken en opnieuw doen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I brought to show my blocks of the Camelot Quilt.

Het quilten heb ik met de machine gedaan, wat wel lekker ging. Ik vind het ook wel goed gelukt, al zeg ik het zelf. Nu heb ik de gang weer te pakken en heb de roosjesquilt voor Iris maar eens onder het machien gestopt. Het is wel een megalap, helemaal in vergelijking met de kussenhoesjes. Eigenlijk had ik deze voor het einde van 2011 af willen hebben, maar dat is dus niet gelukt. Nou ja, het is in ieder geval weer een goed begin van 2012!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;For these I used 2 patterns of the Camelot Bom. I did the quilting by machine and I think it went quite well. Now that I got a start &amp;nbsp;in machine quilting, I continued quilting the roses quilt for Iris.&amp;nbsp;Compared to the pillow covers, this is really a huge &amp;nbsp;quilt.&amp;nbsp;Actually I would have liked to finish the roses quilt before the end of 2011, but &amp;nbsp;I did not succeed in doing that.&amp;nbsp;Well, it is certainly a good start of 2012!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both;

Het is een lastige, met veel kleine blaadjes en puntjes die scherp horen te zijn. Nu ben ik met de laatste appliquaties bezig; de cirkeltjes.

I use the &lt;a href="http://www.karenkaybuckley.com/store.php?cat=2" target="_blank"&gt;Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Circles&lt;/a&gt;, which really work perfect!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bDKi4H77PSc/Tv3gVX1yXTI/AAAAAAAACKo/MXCd-llF7pY/s1600/P1090398.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bDKi4H77PSc/Tv3gVX1yXTI/AAAAAAAACKo/MXCd-llF7pY/s320/P1090398.JPG" width="285" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ik wens iedereen een fijne jaarwisseling en een goed en gezond 2012 toe, met veel inspiratie en quiltplezier!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I wish everyone a wonderful and healthy New Year, with lots of inspiration and quilting fun!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/287/CFED4826ECD966F9C1EEF2BF7CA8A587.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-image: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-5287556562040366739?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/5287556562040366739/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=5287556562040366739&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/5287556562040366739'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/5287556562040366739'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/12/camelot-blok-3.html' title='Camelot blok 3'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pBSfzkEZctU/Tv3gTzcvVHI/AAAAAAAACKg/ap4eymkhzMw/s72-c/P1090396.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-2383491030813649499</id><published>2011-12-23T17:48:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-24T16:56:50.815+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lekprikkers'/><title type='text'>Kerstmis!

I missed the last two meetings, so I was very happy to be able to join the meeting this time.&amp;nbsp;Janske decorated our meeting space very nicely and christmassy cozy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YMnhLd9dGds/TvTBUnXTETI/AAAAAAAACJ0/3WOJFEHsK-U/s1600/P1090334b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YMnhLd9dGds/TvTBUnXTETI/AAAAAAAACJ0/3WOJFEHsK-U/s400/P1090334b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Tijdens de workshop werd een kerstornamentje gemaakt.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;During the workshop we made a Christmas ornament.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pydZYJvBMAo/TvTDM5cqd2I/AAAAAAAACJ4/vDMPpFvMSOY/s1600/2011-12-23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pydZYJvBMAo/TvTDM5cqd2I/AAAAAAAACJ4/vDMPpFvMSOY/s400/2011-12-23.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Er was een kleine show en tell.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;And we had a litlle show and tell.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MSPRo4mIKCM/TvTE0IGD4uI/AAAAAAAACKA/TpOqYW8sOic/s1600/2011-12-231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MSPRo4mIKCM/TvTE0IGD4uI/AAAAAAAACKA/TpOqYW8sOic/s400/2011-12-231.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T6mDKwdtsyI/TvTDeJOP5jI/AAAAAAAACJ8/GfyMMeyLu0s/s1600/P1090349.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T6mDKwdtsyI/TvTDeJOP5jI/AAAAAAAACJ8/GfyMMeyLu0s/s320/P1090349.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;En er werden verschillende kerstpresentjes uitgedeeld.

Wat is het een tijd geleden dat ik een berichtje heb geschreven. Tja, hoe kwam dat nou zo. Wel, het was gewoon een beetje druk. Oktober en november zijn altijd druk met verjaardagen. Mijn leeftijd heb ik net weer met een jaartje opgehoogd.... Ook op het werk is het aan het einde van het jaar altijd drukker dan anders. Ik was dus gewoon een beetje moe. Is allemaal niet erg, gaat wel weer over.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Oops, sorry. It has been a long time since my last blogpost. How come? Well, nothing special, I was busy.&amp;nbsp;October and November are always crowded with birthdays.&amp;nbsp;Also at work, at the end of the year, it is always busier than usual. I was just a little tired.&amp;nbsp;It is not so bad, that will pass&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Maar ik heb niet helemaal stil gezeten hoor. Het 2e blok van de &lt;a href="http://www.quilt-it.nl/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=blogcategory&amp;amp;id=15&amp;amp;Itemid=11" target="_blank"&gt;Camelot-BOM&lt;/a&gt; is af. De buitenrand ontbreekt nog wel. Er zijn zoveel deelnemers dat &lt;a href="http://dorryvanbeers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Dorry&lt;/a&gt; niet genoeg stof heeft voor alle deelnemers. Komt goed, komt alleen wat later. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;But I've also been doing some patchwork.&amp;nbsp;The second block of the &lt;a href="http://www.quilt-it.nl/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=blogcategory&amp;amp;id=15&amp;amp;Itemid=11" target="_blank"&gt;Camelot-BOM&lt;/a&gt; is finished. The outer rim is still missing. There are so many participants that &lt;a href="http://dorryvanbeers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Dorry&lt;/a&gt; has not enough material for all participants. It will be alright, it just comes a bit later.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_L9BkOTZZQ8/TtoSwiAeukI/AAAAAAAACH0/9k-T8alClq0/s1600/camelot+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="360" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_L9BkOTZZQ8/TtoSwiAeukI/AAAAAAAACH0/9k-T8alClq0/s400/camelot+002.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;De patronen van alle Camelot-blokken heb ik allemaal al, de stoffen krijg ik iedere maand thuis gestuurd.&amp;nbsp;Het eerste blok heb ik nog een keer gemaakt maar dan met batiks. Ik heb nog een ander blok uitgezocht en die ook van batiks gemaakt. Hiervan ga ik kussenhoesjes maken voor Sharda, de Australische hostmum van &lt;a href="http://www.esther-in-australia.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Esther&lt;/a&gt;. Ze zijn pas verhuisd en Sharda was deze week ook jarig. Oftewel, een goede aanleiding om wat leuks voor haar te maken.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I already received all the block patterns, each month Dorry sends us the fabrics.&amp;nbsp;I made the first block one more time with batiks. Then I selected another block and made that also with batiks.&amp;nbsp;Of this I will make pillow covers for Sharda, the Australian hostmum of &lt;a href="http://www.esther-in-australia.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Esther&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;They have &amp;nbsp;recently moved to a new home and Sharda had her birthday this week. So this is a good reason to make something nice for her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QGS3M7QMY8g/TtoSySa6TpI/AAAAAAAACH4/OHRjE0Kx-i4/s1600/P1090306b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="154" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QGS3M7QMY8g/TtoSySa6TpI/AAAAAAAACH4/OHRjE0Kx-i4/s320/P1090306b.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PP78nVkPC1w/TtoS1KkpsCI/AAAAAAAACH8/Po7UF8U6MRg/s1600/P1090302b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="226" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PP78nVkPC1w/TtoS1KkpsCI/AAAAAAAACH8/Po7UF8U6MRg/s320/P1090302b.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;En weet je wat ik nu ga doen? Lekker alvast de kerstquilt in de kamer hangen! Eigenlijk wacht ik altijd tot Sinterklaas het land uit is, maar nu dus niet. Kan mij het schelen, ik heb zin in Kerst!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;And what am I going to do now? I will put the Christmas quilt in the living room!

Na een lekker ontbijtje liepen we al bijtijds langs de Amsterdamse grachten. Als wij in een stad rondlopen, kijken we meestal omhoog naar de gebouwen en gevels. Ook hier, wat is onze hoofdstad toch mooi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;We had booked a hotel room and planned to spend the next day in Amsterdam.&amp;nbsp;After a nice breakfast we walked along the Amsterdam canals. When we walk around in a city, we usually look up to the buildings and facades. We think our capital city is very beautiful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tja, toen scheen de zon nog lekker, maar die verdween al snel, het begon te regenen en we werden doornat en koud. Kortom, om 3 uur waren we alweer thuis. Jammer, het weekend ervoor en erna was het prachtig weer en wij treffen die kou en regen. Maar goed, het is ons prima bevallen om zo met z'n tweetjes op pad te gaan en hebben ons voorgenomen dit zeker vaker te gaan doen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Well, then the sun was still shining nice. but it disappeared quickly, it started raining and soon we were soaked and cold. In short, at 3 o'clock we were back home. Too bad, the weekend before and after it was beautiful weather and we had the cold and the rain.&amp;nbsp;Anyway, we really liked our short weekend together so we definitely will do this more often.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SuEN6XiEmac/TprY0joXv5I/AAAAAAAAB9U/GOZieGNMYPw/s1600/P1090244-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SuEN6XiEmac/TprY0joXv5I/AAAAAAAAB9U/GOZieGNMYPw/s400/P1090244-1.JPG" width="258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Enne, heb ik de rest van de week nog wat gedaan? Nou, naast mijn werk heb ik het eerste blok van Camelot, blok van de maand quilt van &lt;a href="http://www.quilt-it.nl/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=blogcategory&amp;amp;id=15&amp;amp;Itemid=11"&gt;Quilt it and Dotty&lt;/a&gt;, gemaakt. Kijk eens wat een beauty! En er volgen nog 15 van deze blokken met cirkels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;And have I done something this week?&amp;nbsp;Well, besides my work, I made the first block of Camelot, a block of the month of &lt;a href="http://www.quilt-it.nl/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=blogcategory&amp;amp;id=15&amp;amp;Itemid=11"&gt;Quilt it and Dotty&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;Look what a beauty!

Gewoon een aardig steekje opgezet en huppetee, breien maar! Het was best wel leuk geworden, al zeg ik het zelf. Aan het eind van de laatste zomerse dagen kon het toch wat killig worden en dan, hoppa, effe het sjaaltje om!&lt;br /&gt;Maar helaas, net als de zomerse dagen, heeft ook het sjaaltje het begeven.... er viel zomaar een gat in. Nou, dat was best een teleurstelling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I spent some time knitting a scarf.&amp;nbsp;I just choose a nice and simple stitch and hoppa, knitting!&amp;nbsp;It had become a nice little scarf, though I say so myself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;At the end of the last summer days it could be a bit chilly and then I wrapped the scarf around my shoulders.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Unfortunately, just like the summer days are gone, the scarf is gone too....because just suddenly there was a hole in it. That was quite a disappointment.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vrOkwX-7_gA/Tow5_Ka81jI/AAAAAAAAB8I/_OnEag9CurQ/s1600/P1090175.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vrOkwX-7_gA/Tow5_Ka81jI/AAAAAAAAB8I/_OnEag9CurQ/s320/P1090175.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Zaterdagavond hadden we weer eens een supergezellig "Running Dinner" met vrienden. We zijn met 3 stellen die ieder een gang bereiden. De vorige keer hadden wij het voorgerecht bereid, deze keer waren we aan de beurt voor het hoofdgerecht.&amp;nbsp;Aan het eind van de middag hadden we de tafel al mooi gedekt en al wat voorbereidend werk gedaan.&amp;nbsp;We hebben ons eerst nog even lekker opgefrist en vervolgens gingen we naar R en R die deze keer het voorgerecht bereidden. Het was nog zulk lekker weer dat we lekker in de tuin konden eten.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Saturday night we had a very nice "Running Dinner" with good friends.&amp;nbsp;We are 3 couples who each prepare a course. The last time we had prepared the appetizer, this time it was our turn for the main course. &amp;nbsp;At the end of the afternoon we had the table already well covered and all preparatory work was done.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;After we had refreshed ourselves we went to R and R who prepared the starter this time.&amp;nbsp;The weather was still very nice so we could eat in the garden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KtHGytwoNJI/Tow6BJ5CQJI/AAAAAAAAB8U/yTJVxR0Byxg/s1600/P1090186.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KtHGytwoNJI/Tow6BJ5CQJI/AAAAAAAAB8U/yTJVxR0Byxg/s320/P1090186.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;cocktail&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sj3Zdaqma2c/Tow6B374wbI/AAAAAAAAB8Y/YD88wPfuCsE/s1600/P1090189.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sj3Zdaqma2c/Tow6B374wbI/AAAAAAAAB8Y/YD88wPfuCsE/s320/P1090189.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;toast met gebakken champignons in roomsaus&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dIRIg5muBKk/Tow6CnObp4I/AAAAAAAAB8c/wdM5s70vgaY/s1600/P1090192.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dIRIg5muBKk/Tow6CnObp4I/AAAAAAAAB8c/wdM5s70vgaY/s320/P1090192.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Bresaola-ricottarolletjes met knoflookolie&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rw5iZsAWtFc/Tow6EVcLeWI/AAAAAAAAB8g/IR1dRLgbkyQ/s1600/P1090200.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rw5iZsAWtFc/Tow6EVcLeWI/AAAAAAAAB8g/IR1dRLgbkyQ/s320/P1090200.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;pompoensoep&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K3pS_0iUvQI/Tow6E79MJCI/AAAAAAAAB8k/Xl27J-BYK6U/s1600/P1090202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K3pS_0iUvQI/Tow6E79MJCI/AAAAAAAAB8k/Xl27J-BYK6U/s320/P1090202.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;oppelepop&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Toen waren wij aan de beurt.

Wel heb ik samen met mijn hubby de roosjesquilt voor Iris gedubbeld. Bij zo'n grote quilt, formaat beddesprei, vind ik dat zo'n vervelende klus. Om te voorkomen dat straks alles op de grond ligt, moet ik nu eerst mijn naaitafel helemaal leegruimen voordat ik 'm met de naaimachine kan doorquilten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;It was a busy week in which was not much time left for quilting. My hubby helped me layering and basting the rose-quilt for Iris.&amp;nbsp;With such a large quilt, bedspread size, I find that such a tedious job.&amp;nbsp;To prevent things dropping off the table, I should get my sewing table empty before I can start quilting it on my sewing machine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tot gauw!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;See you soon!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/287/CFED4826ECD966F9C1EEF2BF7CA8A587.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-2223580326040991055?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/2223580326040991055/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=2223580326040991055&amp;isPopup=true' title='11 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/2223580326040991055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/2223580326040991055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/09/aunt-millie.html' title='Aunt Millie'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w040-Vec_GA/TnWp3Eb0yzI/AAAAAAAAB5Q/p5KcLXZf0oU/s72-c/P1090168.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-6072081224015450446</id><published>2011-09-18T21:54:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-20T21:15:36.795+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lekprikkers'/><title type='text'>Lekprikkers september 2011</title><content type='html'>Afgelopen woensdagochtend was weer de eerste Lekrprikkersbijeenkomst na de vakantie. Er moest heel wat bijgepraat worden, het was me toch een kippenhok! Na het welkomstwoord en koffie en gebak werd snel gestart met de workshop "kaleidoskoop". Ik moet eerlijk bekennen dat ik niet heb meegedaan, ik heb nog zoveel half afgewerkt werk liggen... &amp;nbsp;Het is wel een heel leuk blok om mee te werken.&amp;nbsp;In oktober gaan we er weer verder mee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Last Wednesday was the first Lekprikkers meeting after the holidays. There was a lot of chattering, it sounded like a chicken run!&amp;nbsp;After some words of welcome and coffee and cake, we quickly started with the workhop "kaleidoscope".&amp;nbsp;I must admit that I have not participated, I do have so many unfinished work...&amp;nbsp;It is a very nice block to work on. The workshop will be continued in October.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5MIncnpK0Fk/TnWvl7cwDWI/AAAAAAAAB5o/RMOLw3Y3Y5M/s1600/2011-09-17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5MIncnpK0Fk/TnWvl7cwDWI/AAAAAAAAB5o/RMOLw3Y3Y5M/s400/2011-09-17.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LiPr7gX9Ovc/TnWxVHDiqhI/AAAAAAAAB5s/wIyPoz26SBE/s1600/2011-09-171.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LiPr7gX9Ovc/TnWxVHDiqhI/AAAAAAAAB5s/wIyPoz26SBE/s400/2011-09-171.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Show and Tell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier komen veel foto's.

De week nadat wij terug kwamen van vakantie, kwam onze oudste dochter Iris weer thuis van haar werk-vakantie op Mallorca. Door verschillende omstandigheden was het een emotioneel weerzien. We waren zoooo blij dat ze weer gezond en wel thuis was.&lt;br /&gt;Onze jongste, Esther, blijft voorlopig nog in Australië, waar ze het erg naar haar zin heeft&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.esther-in-australia.blogspot.com/"&gt;(zie haar eigen weblog)&lt;/a&gt;. Zij komt over zo'n 8 maanden pas weer thuis, maar gelukkig weten we dat ze in goede handen is bij haar host-family. Ik heb inmiddels een facebook-account en ook skype, dus, ook al zit ze aan het andere eind van de wereld, we kletsen nog heel wat af!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;And suddenly a few weeks have passed by. The week after we returned from vacation, our eldest daughter Iris came back home from a working holiday in Majorca.&amp;nbsp;Due to various circumstances it was an emotional reunion. We were soooo glad that she was home safe and sound.&amp;nbsp;Our youngest, Esther, is still staying in Australia and she is really enjoying herself there (&lt;a href="http://www.esther-in-australia.blogspot.com/"&gt;see her blog&lt;/a&gt;). She comes back home in about 8 months. Fortunately we know that she is in very good hands with her host family. I have opened a facebook account and I also skype, so, even though she is at the other end of the world, we still talk a lot! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eind augustus waren Open Tuin-dagen van de &lt;a href="http://www.betuwsetuinenroute.nl/"&gt;Betuwse Tuinenroute&lt;/a&gt;. Wij zijn de tuin van &lt;a href="http://www.lots4u.nl/"&gt;Janske&lt;/a&gt;, bij wie &amp;nbsp;altijd de bijeenkomsten van de Lekprikkers worden gehouden, gaan bekijken. De bloemenpracht was zo inspirerend dat ik die middag gelijk ben begonnen aan de laatste 2 blokken van de Aunt Millie's Garden Quilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Late August the Open Garden Days in our region 'De Betuwe' were held. We went to see the garden of &lt;a href="http://www.lots4u.nl/"&gt;Janske&lt;/a&gt; (where the gatherings of the Lekprikkers are held).&amp;nbsp;The flowers were so inspiring that I started that afternoon working on the last two blocks of my Aunt Millie's Garden Quilt.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Fl9iPXmhZ8s/TmzqsQQIP0I/AAAAAAAAB4g/H-2hpg_PcO4/s1600/P1090033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Fl9iPXmhZ8s/TmzqsQQIP0I/AAAAAAAAB4g/H-2hpg_PcO4/s200/P1090033.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b6uYyfSErdU/Tmzqs8GlOiI/AAAAAAAAB4k/urr0CI5oxG0/s1600/P1090029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b6uYyfSErdU/Tmzqs8GlOiI/AAAAAAAAB4k/urr0CI5oxG0/s320/P1090029.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L1r09FPIGT8/Tmzqr0mxQPI/AAAAAAAAB4c/oUBfGeSkAv8/s1600/P1090032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L1r09FPIGT8/Tmzqr0mxQPI/AAAAAAAAB4c/oUBfGeSkAv8/s200/P1090032.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8VMZdUanDHY/TmzqtZdTJXI/AAAAAAAAB4o/6zLZcLs4fMo/s1600/P1090031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8VMZdUanDHY/TmzqtZdTJXI/AAAAAAAAB4o/6zLZcLs4fMo/s320/P1090031.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OWqnGX5SRsM/TmzqtzjDKmI/AAAAAAAAB4s/JDYiSbW3aco/s1600/P1090036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OWqnGX5SRsM/TmzqtzjDKmI/AAAAAAAAB4s/JDYiSbW3aco/s400/P1090036.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aEAOp0GZwaM/TmzquRn_gMI/AAAAAAAAB4w/om6fiv6r3cI/s1600/P1090038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aEAOp0GZwaM/TmzquRn_gMI/AAAAAAAAB4w/om6fiv6r3cI/s400/P1090038.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoewel ik niet snel kan werken, hoop ik zo dat ik deze wel vlot af heb, want ik wil zo graag verder met of beginnen aan andere quilts! Als deze 2 blokken klaar zijn, moeten echter ook de randen nog gemaakt worden....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Although I can not work very fast, I hope to be able to make these quickly because I would love to continue or start with other quilts!

Hoe ze het precies maken, is me niet duidelijk geworden. De dames zijn er vooral op gebrand om hun werk te verkopen en beginnen, zodra je belangstelling toont, gelijk met prijslijstjes te wapperen.&lt;br /&gt;Een middelgroot kleedje, ter grootte van een schoteltje, moest zo'n &amp;nbsp;€ 70,00 kosten! Tja, jammer maar helaas, hoe mooi en knap dit handwerk ook is, dat vond ik toch wel heel erg duur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;In Pag, women sit in the doorway or on the street, making the most beautiful lace.&amp;nbsp;The ladies are very eager to sell their work and begin, once you have an interest, &amp;nbsp;to wave with price lists.

Verschillende Lekpriksters hebben de stoute schoenen aangetrokken en een reactie geplaatst bij mijn vorige Lekprikkersbericht. Hartstikke leuk, bedankt!

Her explanation was clear and soon everyone was drawing, cutting and moving the parts.&amp;nbsp;I wonder who has a finished a quilt or a quilt top at the next meeting!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xua7yPWqIoE/TjE5Q3e6MKI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/jycz7glaUPQ/s1600/20110616.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="281" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xua7yPWqIoE/TjE5Q3e6MKI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/jycz7glaUPQ/s400/20110616.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ook had Ineke 2 exemplaren van de Eureka quilt meegenomen. In deze quilt zitten veel verschillende Log Cabin-blocks verwerkt. Volgend seizoen gaan we (de meesten doen mee) deze quilt maken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ineke also brought two examples of the Eureka quilt. This quilt consists of many different Log Cabin blocks.&amp;nbsp;Next season, we (most of us Lekprikkers) are going to make this quilt.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-siiZfPXF9hU/TjE7yDMLD4I/AAAAAAAAB1k/m7X8mLcIXcQ/s1600/P1080693.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-siiZfPXF9hU/TjE7yDMLD4I/AAAAAAAAB1k/m7X8mLcIXcQ/s200/P1080693.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FK6DxOh9NOM/TjE8Bxme1gI/AAAAAAAAB1o/4vY1GmDWg3U/s1600/P1080694.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FK6DxOh9NOM/TjE8Bxme1gI/AAAAAAAAB1o/4vY1GmDWg3U/s320/P1080694.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Show and Tell&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a8sKrbPKAWg/TjE6rfRU2aI/AAAAAAAAB1U/FJ0RqY6yrlY/s1600/201106161.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="281" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a8sKrbPKAWg/TjE6rfRU2aI/AAAAAAAAB1U/FJ0RqY6yrlY/s400/201106161.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;De dochter van Lekpriksters Liane gaat vrijwilligerswerk doen in een hospitaal in Nepal.

De Lekpriksters hebben nog een verslag van de laatste bijeenkomst tegoed. Die was al weer een tijdje geleden, maar ik zal het verslag echt binnenkort nog schrijven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recently I have been busy with my family, in other words more life than quilting!&amp;nbsp;The Lekpriksters are still waiting for a report of the last gathering. That was a while ago, but I will really write the report soon.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woensdag is onze oudste dochter vertrokken naar haar werkadres op Mallorca. Ze had nog doorgegeven dat de vlucht goed gegaan was, maar verder hoorden we niets meer. Omdat ze helemaal alleen op pad is, kregen we het "Spaans benauwd". Bleek dat haar sms-bericht 8 uur onderweg was geweest! Alles was goed gegaan en het is daar allemaal superleuk. Een hele opluchting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wednesday is our oldest daughter went to her work address in Mallorca.&amp;nbsp;She sent us a sms that the flight went well, but then we heard nothing more.&amp;nbsp;Because she travels there all alone, we became really a bit anxious.&amp;nbsp;Apparently her sms text had been about 8 hours on its way before it reached us! Everything went well and it is great fun over there. A big relief.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En donderdagmiddag is de jongste vertrokken naar Australië. Bij het afscheid heb ik me goed kunnen houden, maar in de auto heb ik toch wel eventjes een paar traantjes gelaten hoor. Door het slechte weer vertrok haar vlucht met meer dan een uur vertraging. In Londen ontmoette ze nog meer reisgenoten uit andere landen, waaronder ook begeleiders van de&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.stshighschool.nl/netherlands/"&gt;STS&lt;/a&gt;-organisatie. De reis duurt heel lang. Ze maakt nog een tussenstop in Bangkok voordat ze doorvliegt naar Sydney. Vanuit Sydney volgt dan nog een binnenlandse vlucht naar Maroochydore, ten noorden van Brisbane aan de Sunshine Coast. Daar komt ze dan zaterdagochtend pas aan!&lt;br /&gt;Ze heeft de afgelopen weken al heel veel contact gehad met haar host-mum en het kan bijna niet anders dan dat ze het daar heel erg naar haar zin gaat krijgen. Haar Australische Highschool avonturen gaat ze ook op een weblog bijhouden&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://esther-in-australia.blogspot.com/"&gt;Esther in Australia!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;And Thursday, our youngest left for Australia. When saying goodbye to her, I managed to control my emotions, but while sitting in the car I burst into tears.&amp;nbsp;In London she met more fellow travelers from other countries, including supervisors of the &lt;a href="http://www.sts-education.com/stsglobal.xml"&gt;STS&lt;/a&gt;-organization.&amp;nbsp;The journey takes a long time. She makes a stop in Bangkok before they fly to Sydney.&amp;nbsp;And from Sydney follows then a domestic flight to Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast. She will arrive there not until Saturday morning!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The past weeks she has had a lot of contact with her host mum and it is almost inevitable that she is going to have a really great time Down Under.&amp;nbsp;She is going to tell us about her adventures on her own weblog&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://esther-in-australia.blogspot.com/"&gt;Esther in Australia!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://api.ning.com/files/EXpGFusUo*WugcT0xJME1Iz5njpGRMpVKktadDotL1auetyFBSQx58zSsbOK6wulGMZrYByaZZ1nbnQb2RLEGiADCTQmZYa9/nerd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="181" src="http://api.ning.com/files/EXpGFusUo*WugcT0xJME1Iz5njpGRMpVKktadDotL1auetyFBSQx58zSsbOK6wulGMZrYByaZZ1nbnQb2RLEGiADCTQmZYa9/nerd.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Om mijn dochters een beetje te kunnen bijhouden heb ik ook maar een Facebook account aangemaakt. Ik word nog eens een echte computerexpert. Foto's bewerken, bloggen, chatten via Facebook en binnenkort ook nog Skypen.&lt;br /&gt;Tot gauw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;To &amp;nbsp;keep up a little bit with my daughters I even created a Facebook account. I am almost a real computer expert (lol). Photo-editing, blogging, chatting on Facebook and soon Skype.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;See you soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-7283271932595135878?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/7283271932595135878/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=7283271932595135878&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/7283271932595135878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/7283271932595135878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/07/life-and-quilting-quilting.html' title='Life and quilting  -  quilting?'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-7369561183420074429</id><published>2011-07-09T16:56:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-09T18:28:45.530+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><title type='text'>Happy times and mixed feelings</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U55flY9Ne4I/Thhg_HZSVnI/AAAAAAAABzw/gThVthrihgU/s1600/IMG_6786.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U55flY9Ne4I/Thhg_HZSVnI/AAAAAAAABzw/gThVthrihgU/s320/IMG_6786.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aV-AuhwCjFg/ThhXgPJnpCI/AAAAAAAABzE/W4J9Pth23ig/s1600/DSC00164.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aV-AuhwCjFg/ThhXgPJnpCI/AAAAAAAABzE/W4J9Pth23ig/s400/DSC00164.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iedereen bedankt voor alle felicitaties naar aanleiding van het slagen van onze meiden! Nadat we de goede uitslag kregen, zijn we gezellig met z´n viertjes uit eten geweest. De avond erna hebben we een examenfeestje gegeven voor alle familie en wat goede vrienden. De week erna werd een examenfeest gegeven voor de jeugd. We hadden met z´n allen lekkere salades, gevulde broden en andere lekkernijen klaar gemaakt en ook werd de BBQ aangestoken. Over de drank vertel ik maar niets... &amp;nbsp;Ook de diploma-uitreikingingen op school waren heel erg leuk. We kunnen terugkijken op een drukke maar zeer geslaagde tijd!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jgzYmOBc3nQ/ThhXzh8v3UI/AAAAAAAAB0Y/QtUILnNTWhE/s1600/DSC00237.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="297" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jgzYmOBc3nQ/ThhXzh8v3UI/AAAAAAAAB0Y/QtUILnNTWhE/s400/DSC00237.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZzYq7wM8fE4/ThhgzqJKmoI/AAAAAAAAB0c/iPS1Kb5q8pk/s1600/IMG_6853.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZzYq7wM8fE4/ThhgzqJKmoI/AAAAAAAAB0c/iPS1Kb5q8pk/s200/IMG_6853.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Thanks for all the congratulations on the graduation of our girls.&amp;nbsp;After hearing the good news, we &amp;nbsp;treated ourselves to a diner in a good restaurant.&amp;nbsp;The next evening we had a party for family and good friends.&amp;nbsp;The following week there was a party given for the youth.&amp;nbsp;Together we prepared some tasty salads, stuffed bread and other delicacies. The BBQ fire was lit also.&amp;nbsp;The graduation ceremonies organized at the school were very nice. We can look back on a very busy but very nice time!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tW5zvWu8RRw/ThhXub15hhI/AAAAAAAAB0Q/jV8D7bCMygI/s1600/DSC00223.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tW5zvWu8RRw/ThhXub15hhI/AAAAAAAAB0Q/jV8D7bCMygI/s320/DSC00223.JPG" width="279" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intussen werd er ook hard gewerkt aan de badkamer. Toen we echter de douche in gebruik namen, begon het water beneden in de woonkamer door het plafond te druppelen. Dat was dus niet zo geslaagd. Grrr, toen moest er toch weer één en ander open gebroken worden. Daar zaten we best over in want het was zo mooi geworden en dat moest weer stuk gemaakt worden... &amp;nbsp;Maar gelukkig bleek dat we goede vaklui hadden ingehuurd. Alles is gerepareerd en er is niets meer van te zien. Een pak van ons hart!! Nu ontbreekt alleen de deur van de douchecabine nog.

Grrr, it had to be broken open again.&amp;nbsp;We were quite worried about that. It was so beautifully made and it had to be broken up...&amp;nbsp;But it turned out that we hired good professionals. Everything has been repaired and there is nothing to see.&amp;nbsp;A great relief!! &amp;nbsp;Now we are waiting for the delivery of the shower door which was ordered later on.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UAvfXYnL3Uk/ThhlMg3JlNI/AAAAAAAAB0w/-S8AtECuNY4/s1600/P1080775.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UAvfXYnL3Uk/ThhlMg3JlNI/AAAAAAAAB0w/-S8AtECuNY4/s200/P1080775.JPG" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;deze blitse koffer gaat naar Mallorca&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;En nu worden de koffers gepakt. De ene koffer gaat 5 weken naar Mallorca, de andere 10 maanden &amp;nbsp;naar &lt;a href="http://www.eudlo.com.au/"&gt;Eudlo&lt;/a&gt; in Australië. Hartstikke leuk, maar wat zullen we onze meisjes erg missen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;And now the suitcases are being packed. One suitcase goes for 5 weeks to &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorca"&gt;Majorca&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;the other one for 10 months to &lt;a href="http://www.eudlo.com.au/"&gt;Eudlo&lt;/a&gt;, Australia.&amp;nbsp;Great fun, we will really miss our sweet girls!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;

Ik hoorde regelmatig: "dan ga jij onder water, want jij bent Free Willy en dan kom ik jou redden".&amp;nbsp;Maar ja, dat was vroeger. De laatste jaren werd het bad bijna niet meer gebruikt en de badkamer werd ook ouder en een beetje sjofel. Afgelopen week heeft Hubby de badkamer gesloopt en vanaf dinsdag komt een badkamerbedrijf een nieuwe badkamer installeren. De komende tijd gaan we dus hier en daar douchen en in de tussentijd zullen we ons met een washandje moeten behelpen in de keuken.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;When the children were little, they often went to bath together. I heard frequently: "then you go under water, because you are Free Willy and I'll save you". But that was then.&amp;nbsp;In recent years the bath was rarely used and the bathroom got older and a bit shabby.&amp;nbsp;Last week Hubby has demolished the bathroom and next week the new bathroom will be installed by builders.&amp;nbsp;Until then we have to take showers here and there and in the meantime we have to wash ourselves with washcloths in the kitchen....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit is een &amp;nbsp;vilten huisje dat ik een tijdje terug heb afgemaakt. Wat ga je daar nu mee doen, werd mij al gevraagd. Nou, dat weet ik eigenlijk ook niet. Het was heel leuk om te maken en voorlopig heb ik er mijn (kleine) voorraad vilt in gedaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is a house made of felt which I made a little while ago.&amp;nbsp;What are you going do with it, I was already asked.&amp;nbsp;Well, I really don't know. But it was fun to make and now I've got my (small) stock of felt in it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pjtNMH_Cc2k/TfZba7bcM0I/AAAAAAAABxw/c_6RACIQv-Y/s1600/P1080638.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pjtNMH_Cc2k/TfZba7bcM0I/AAAAAAAABxw/c_6RACIQv-Y/s320/P1080638.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-maIbgmZ11pg/TfZbaaDaLKI/AAAAAAAABxs/PdjaUgW5TLI/s1600/P1080637.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-maIbgmZ11pg/TfZbaaDaLKI/AAAAAAAABxs/PdjaUgW5TLI/s200/P1080637.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x3YF3nyTEys/TfZbb2Bd-II/AAAAAAAABx4/HPQmNa1y3tU/s1600/P1080641.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x3YF3nyTEys/TfZbb2Bd-II/AAAAAAAABx4/HPQmNa1y3tU/s320/P1080641.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1DQXMUWHyq0/TfZbbYtUyYI/AAAAAAAABx0/JA7Jbkv0Lr4/s1600/P1080639.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1DQXMUWHyq0/TfZbbYtUyYI/AAAAAAAABx0/JA7Jbkv0Lr4/s320/P1080639.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En kijk eens, ik ben weer aan het haken geslagen. Ik heb een Engelstalig patroon gevonden van een bloem. De bloemen zijn niet allemaal gelijk want ik snapte de beschrijving toch niet helemaal.

We vertrokken rond 8 uur vanuit Culemborg naar &lt;a href="http://www.vvvgraftderijp.nl/"&gt;De Rijp&lt;/a&gt;, waar we hartelijk ontvangen werden in hobbywinkel &lt;a href="https://www.sylkamode.nl/shop/"&gt;Sylka Mode&lt;/a&gt;. Een leuke winkel waar een groot aantal mooie stoffen afgeprijsd was, dus er werd door een paar Lekpriksters flink ingeslagen.&amp;nbsp;Ik kocht hier geen lapjes, wel een patroon. Tja, plannen genoeg....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Anyway, finally some pictures of the outing of the Lekprikkers. We left around 8 o'clock from Culemborg to &lt;a href="http://www.vvvgraftderijp.nl/"&gt;De Rijp&lt;/a&gt;, where we were warmly received in hobby shop Sylka Mode.&amp;nbsp;A nice shop where a lot fabrics were marked down, so quite a few Lekprikkers bought a lot. I did not buy fabrics but a pattern. Yes, plenty of ideas....&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mcd9664r1j4/TfErnPyAnTI/AAAAAAAABvQ/N_XIlbXSaBM/s1600/P1080531.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mcd9664r1j4/TfErnPyAnTI/AAAAAAAABvQ/N_XIlbXSaBM/s200/P1080531.JPG" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AyICj3tb3bo/TfErqHEZ8iI/AAAAAAAABvU/WNl7GeCVYFI/s1600/P1080531+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="118" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AyICj3tb3bo/TfErqHEZ8iI/AAAAAAAABvU/WNl7GeCVYFI/s200/P1080531+b.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;De Rijp is overigens een erg mooi plaatsje. We zagen een prachtige bloemenwinkel en er is ook een Bed and Breakfast, dus wie nog plannen heeft voor een weekendje weg....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;De Rijp is also a very nice place. We saw a beautiful flower shop and there is also a bed and breakfast, so who still has plans for a weekend ....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VwztKYE1RIs/TfHQ4umOtzI/AAAAAAAABv0/EG7Vp-tYJmE/s1600/201105221.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="448" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VwztKYE1RIs/TfHQ4umOtzI/AAAAAAAABv0/EG7Vp-tYJmE/s640/201105221.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We vervolgden onze reis naar &lt;a href="http://www.vvv.nl/content/4073/haarlem-hofjesstad.aspx"&gt;Haarlem&lt;/a&gt; waar we Patchwork en Quiltshop&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.desampler.nl/index.shtml"&gt;De Sampler&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;bezochten. Daar was een workshop voor ons verzorgd door Ingeborg. Ieder kreeg een compleet pakketje (inclusief schaartje) met de benodigdheden om een naaimapje te maken. Het was een leuke en gezellige workshop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We continued our journey to&lt;a href="http://www.vvv.nl/content/4073/haarlem-hofjesstad.aspx"&gt; Haarlem &lt;/a&gt;where we visited Patchwork and Quilt Shop &lt;a href="http://www.desampler.nl/"&gt;The Sampler&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;They organized a workshop for us. Everyone got a complete package&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(including scissors)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;with all necessities to make a little sewing folder.&amp;nbsp;It was a nice and entertaining workshop.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w2jhL8xANGk/TfHaP-4_MoI/AAAAAAAABwg/jMC6vVSqvo0/s1600/201105222.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="451" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w2jhL8xANGk/TfHaP-4_MoI/AAAAAAAABwg/jMC6vVSqvo0/s640/201105222.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rVjT8-mB_EY/TfHSTDdrxUI/AAAAAAAABwE/EOi9PfVpPWI/s1600/P1080609.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rVjT8-mB_EY/TfHSTDdrxUI/AAAAAAAABwE/EOi9PfVpPWI/s200/P1080609.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ik vond de quilt met kikkertjes zo leuk dus ik kocht wat groene stojes en kreeg het patroon erbij....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I liked the quilt with the frogs so I bought a couple of green fabrics and received the pattern as a gift......&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En daarna zijn we nog even Haarlem ingelopen. Leuke stad om te winkelen, hier wil ik ook nog wel eens naar terug!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Then we went to the city of Haarlem.

En dan moeten we tot &amp;nbsp;16 juni wachten op de uitslag. We denken dat ze allebei goed door de examens zijn gekomen, maar je weet natuurlijk nooit. Het blijft toch spannend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;While I am writing this blog post, our daughters are making their final exams. And then we have to wait until June 16 for the results.&amp;nbsp;We think they both did a good job, but you never know. It remains exciting.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eerdaags volgt een bericht met foto's van het Lekprikkers-uitje. Dan hoop ik ook weer wat eigen werk te kunnen laten zien. &amp;nbsp;Fijn weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;One of these days I will make a blog post of the Lekprikkers outing. Then I hope to show some of my own work.&amp;nbsp;I can't find my Dutch / English dictionary, hopefully the translation into English went well! Enjoy the weekend!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-1502578326217657273?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/1502578326217657273/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=1502578326217657273&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/1502578326217657273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/1502578326217657273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/05/lekprikkers-en-quiltbengels.html' title='Lekprikkers en Quiltbengels'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JCiwLXsyVeY/Td9v3E7kYLI/AAAAAAAABt0/CEOIsdT6WcA/s72-c/P1080138.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-8453540330507574616</id><published>2011-05-17T21:12:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-17T21:12:43.471+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tentoonstelling'/><title type='text'>OEQC 2011 - Sorry, ik loop achter....

Het was die dag prachtig weer, maar daar hebben wij weinig van gemerkt binnen. Alhoewel, misschien was het hierdoor wel zo rustig. We konden alles goed bekijken en ook bij de meeste winkels konden rustig shoppen en met de eigenaren 'beppen'. Hierdoor kwamen we aan het eind van de dag toch weer tijd te kort. Toen we weer op weg naar huis waren, bedacht ik me, ooh, ik zou nog terug gaan naar die en die stand om dat en dat te kopen....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Last week I visited with my friends &lt;a href="http://creanita.web-log.nl/creanita/2011/05/de-volgende-week.html"&gt;Anita&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://mupminoes.blogspot.com/2011/05/veldhoven-en-moederdag.html"&gt;Annelies&lt;/a&gt; and Trea the OEQC in Veldhoven.&amp;nbsp;It was not so crowded. We could take a good look at the quilts and most booths were not to crowded, so we could have a chat with the shop owners.&amp;nbsp;But at the end of the day we were still running out of time. When we were on our way home, I thought, ooh, I would have gone back to different booths to buy this and that...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Het was weer een feest om al die prachtige quilts van dichtbij te kunnen bekijken. Er waren o.a. exposities van Baltimore Album Quilts, &amp;nbsp;quilts van &lt;a href="http://www.becolourful.nl/"&gt;Jaqueline de Jonge&lt;/a&gt;, en quilts van de mysterybom van de &lt;a href="http://quilterij.nl/"&gt;Quilterij&lt;/a&gt; uit Den Bosch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;It was a feast to admire all the beautiful quilts up close.&amp;nbsp;There were exhibitions of Baltimore Album Quilts, quilts from &lt;a href="http://www.becolourful.nl/"&gt;Jacqueline de Jonge&lt;/a&gt;, and quilts from the mysterybom of &lt;a href="http://www.quilterij.nl/?mainID=home"&gt;Quilterij&lt;/a&gt; from Den Bosch.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Ev20suDxNY/TcpGj8v_VfI/AAAAAAAABr0/fK2RWYRxB0Y/s1600/20110507+quilts1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="451" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Ev20suDxNY/TcpGj8v_VfI/AAAAAAAABr0/fK2RWYRxB0Y/s640/20110507+quilts1.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Baltimore quilts&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cux_dHzfZ5Y/TcpG3CESngI/AAAAAAAABr4/dLPJ4v5puTc/s1600/20110507+quilts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="451" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cux_dHzfZ5Y/TcpG3CESngI/AAAAAAAABr4/dLPJ4v5puTc/s640/20110507+quilts.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Be Colourful - Jaqueline de Jonge&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HfQW7tq9N3g/TcpHEd0ZJzI/AAAAAAAABr8/2WOSUigiTiQ/s1600/20110507+quilts2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="451" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HfQW7tq9N3g/TcpHEd0ZJzI/AAAAAAAABr8/2WOSUigiTiQ/s640/20110507+quilts2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Mystery quilts - De Quilterij&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b54wKetXMjM/Tco2k3MEeGI/AAAAAAAABrc/F2dSXJ_tDYY/s1600/P1080360+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b54wKetXMjM/Tco2k3MEeGI/AAAAAAAABrc/F2dSXJ_tDYY/s200/P1080360+b.jpg" width="155" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2010/05/oeqc.html"&gt;Vorig jaar hebben we schitterende quilts uit Hongarije bewonderd&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;En kijk eens wat er dit jaar te koop was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2010/05/oeqc.html"&gt;Last year we admired the beautiful quilts from Hungary&lt;/a&gt;. Look what was for sale this year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verder kocht ik nog tashengsels, houten knoopjes en een paar FQ. De FQ kocht ik bij een nieuwe quiltwinkel &lt;a href="http://www.dequilthoeve-winkel.nl/"&gt;De Quilthoeve&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;. Deze nieuwe winkel opent 12 mei, maar ze waren dus al met hun stand op de beurs. Slimme zet!&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.dequilthoeve.blogspot.com/"&gt;De stand&lt;/a&gt; zag er prachtig uit met vooral stoffen van French General. We kregen ook nog een leuk blikje met spelden als presentje.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also bought bag handles, wooden buttons and a pair of FQ. I bought the FQ in a new quiltshop '&lt;a href="http://www.dequilthoeve-winkel.nl/"&gt;de Quilthoeve&lt;/a&gt;'. This new store opens May 12, but they were already in&lt;a href="http://dequilthoeve.blogspot.com/2011/05/weer-thuis.html"&gt; their booth at the fair&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;Smart move! The booth looked great, with especially fabrics of French General. We received a nice tin with pins as a gift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qjIh6WFGT3c/TcpItnREXrI/AAAAAAAABsI/Zg6yeXwZ6FA/s1600/P1080358+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="301" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qjIh6WFGT3c/TcpItnREXrI/AAAAAAAABsI/Zg6yeXwZ6FA/s400/P1080358+b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bij&lt;a href="http://lynetteandersondesigns.typepad.com/"&gt; Lynette Anderson&lt;/a&gt; heb ik 2 patroontjes gekocht.

Excuus voor het feit dat ik zo'n tijd niets van me heb laten horen, hoor.&lt;br /&gt;Ik had al een tijdje flink last van mijn nek en schouders waardoor mijn armen en handen ook begonnen te beven en bibberen. Toen kon ik het echt niet langer uitstellen en ben naar de fysiotherapeut gegaan. Inmiddels gaat het gelukkig al een heel stuk beter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Hello, hi, yes I'm still here.&amp;nbsp;Sorry for my long absence. I had some muscle-problems in my neck and schoulders&amp;nbsp;with the result that my arms and hands began to shiver and shake. Finally I went to a physiotherapist and thankfully I feel much better now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NwjoFu52k3A/TcGe1AWGTlI/AAAAAAAABos/GYm23G7fiKE/s1600/20110414.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NwjoFu52k3A/TcGe1AWGTlI/AAAAAAAABos/GYm23G7fiKE/s400/20110414.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Breien en haken heb ik nog wel geprobeerd, maar daarvan kreeg ik ook last van mijn armen.&amp;nbsp;Het is gebleven bij voorzichtig wat tuinieren, wandelen en fietsen en her en der wat foto's maken. Gelukkig werd het heel mooi weer en heb ik ook lekker in de zon gezeten. Dat was ook wel lekker voor mijn spieren.&amp;nbsp;Intussen ben ik overigens wel gewoon naar mijn werk gegaan.&amp;nbsp;Nu ben ik weer voorzichtig begonnen met handwerken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I have tried to knit and crochet but I could not do that either.&amp;nbsp;I have restricted myself to (careful) gardening, walking, cycling and taking pictures.&amp;nbsp;Luckily the weather was very good and I also enjoyed sitting in the sun. That was good for my muscles too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Meanwhile I went to work as usual.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Now I cautiously started again to do some needlework.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aTYgdmTZTKI/TcGVNEfuFDI/AAAAAAAABog/U2dhWR1cmXQ/s1600/P1080075-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aTYgdmTZTKI/TcGVNEfuFDI/AAAAAAAABog/U2dhWR1cmXQ/s320/P1080075-1.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Maar waar slaat nu de titel van dit blogbericht op?&amp;nbsp;Nou kijk, voordat mijn armen echt niet meer wilden meewerken, ben ik er nog wel in geslaagd een paar blokken te borduren voor het&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://hugsnkisses.typepad.com/hugsfromhelen/2011/01/more-flood-relief-and-the-aussie-spirit.html"&gt;Aussie Spirit Flood Relief project&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;van &lt;a href="http://hugsnkisses.typepad.com/hugsfromhelen/"&gt;Hugs and kisses/Helen Stubbings&lt;/a&gt;. Van alle blokken die ingestuurd worden, worden quilts gemaakt voor de overstromingsslachtoffers in Queensland in &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Australië&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;But why has this blogpost this title?&amp;nbsp;Well, just before my arms stopped to cooperate, I managed to embroider a few blocks for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://hugsnkisses.typepad.com/hugsfromhelen/2011/01/more-flood-relief-and-the-aussie-spirit.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Aussie Spirit Flood Relief project&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://hugsnkisses.typepad.com/hugsfromhelen/"&gt;Hugs and kisses/Helen Stubbings&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AAWOaMUYL2g/TcGXfWhpxBI/AAAAAAAABok/VnNSOFMZa8c/s1600/P1080206-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AAWOaMUYL2g/TcGXfWhpxBI/AAAAAAAABok/VnNSOFMZa8c/s200/P1080206-1.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Mijn oom en tante zijn weer terug in Nederland na een bezoek aan hun kinderen met gezinnen in &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Perth, Australie&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;. Zij hebben weer een pakket met 2 Homespuns en een DVD voor mij meegenomen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;My aunt and uncle are back in Holland after they visited their kids and families in &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Perth, Australia&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.

Ze heeft via mail en facebook al kennis gemaakt met haar gastgezin en ze is heel erg enthousiast. Voor zover nu bekend, vertrekt ze half juli richting Brisbane en komt volgend jaar mei weer terug.&lt;br /&gt;Een 17-jarige meid heeft heel veel kleding en natuurlijk wil ze zoveel mogelijk meenemen. We hebben een grote koffer gekocht, maar of daar alles in kan?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Well, even the departure of our youngest daughter to &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Queensland, Australia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;, is getting closer and closer.&amp;nbsp;She has already contacted her host family by mail and facebook and she is very enthousiastic.&amp;nbsp;As far as known, she will leave to Brisbane in July and comes back next year in May.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A 17-year-old girl has lots of clothes and of course she wants to take along as much as possible.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We bought a large suitcase, but I wonder whether it all fits?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deze week hebben onze dochters vakantie. Maar na volgende week beginnen de eindexamens al, dus ze zitten veel met hun mooie neusjes in de boeken. Volgende week is er ook nog het schoolgala. Voor eerdere schoolgala's heb ik zelf de galajurken gemaakt, maar dit jaar hebben de meiden "gewoon" &amp;nbsp;jurken gekocht. Foto's volgen te zijner tijd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;This week our daughters enjoy their vacation. But the final examinations will already start after next week, so they are pretty much with their pretty noses in the books too.&amp;nbsp;Next week is also the school gala. Earlier I made the gala dresses myself, but this year the girls have "just" bought dresses. Photos will follow!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh ja, dit stel is er ook nog. Pa was niet thuis en Ma &amp;nbsp;bleef de hele tijd op de eieren zitten (neem ik aan), dus ik kon niet echt een interessante foto maken. Hopelijk zit er binnenkort meer leven in het nest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oh yes, this couple is still there. Dad was not at home and Mom stayed the whole time on the nest, sitting on her eggs (I assume), so I could not make a really interesting photo. Hopefully we will soon get the chance to see young birds in the nest.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TAd8WKMUjsk/TcGtzrMASLI/AAAAAAAABo0/uiZnQiJRR-A/s1600/P1080191-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Zoals altijd was het weer een superochtend. &amp;nbsp;Er werden weer wat plannen voor gezamenlijke projecten besproken. We gaan weer een quilt maken voor de stichting Droomdekentjes en er borrelen verschillende&amp;nbsp;ideeën&amp;nbsp;op voor tentoonstellingen waar we misschien aan gaan deelnemen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Wednesdaymorning we had (as always) a nice Lekprikkersmeeting.&amp;nbsp;Plans were discussed for joint projects. &amp;nbsp;We want to make a quilt for the St. Droomdekentjes and we discussed several ideas for participating in an exhibition as a group.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De mini-workshop van deze maand was het maken van weer zo'n ingewikkelde bloem (net als een paar maanden geleden) maar deze keer was het maken van de bloem gelukkig niet zo moelijk.

De boel zit een beetje vast. Ik denk dat ik toch binnenkort maar weer eens naar de fysiotherapeut ga. Helemaal niet leuk hoor, want ik zit het liefst de hele tijd met een werkje in mijn handen en dat gaat nu niet. Na het werk kunnen mijn handen niet veel meer, die willen rust. Maar ja, ik ben nu eenmaal verslaafd. Als ik dan toch wat doe, zet ik de kookwekker en als het belletje gaat &lt;b&gt;moet&lt;/b&gt; ik echt stoppen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lately I struggle with strain in my neck and shoulders.&amp;nbsp;I think I will soon have to visit the physiotherapist again.&amp;nbsp;Not nice at all, because I prefer to have needlework in my hands and that is not possible now.&amp;nbsp;After work, my hands don't want to work any longer, they need a rest.&amp;nbsp;But I'm an addict. If I want to do some needlework, I set the timer and when the bell goes, I really have to quit.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Het ziet er naar uit dat het echt mooi weer gaat worden. Vanmiddag ga ik dus lekker in de tuin aan het werk. Fijn weekend!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;It looks like it will be really nice weather. This afternoon I am going to enjoy working in the garden.

Een award om blogs met een klein aantal volgers onder de aandacht te brengen van een groter publiek. Het is de bedoeling dat ik de award weer doorgeef aan andere 'kleine' blogs. Ik heb gekozen voor 3 quiltblogs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Last week Yvonne gave me the Liebster Award. It is an award for small bloggers with few followers, with the intention to give them a wider audience. Now it is my turn to pass the award to three other bloggers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Op mijn beurt geef ik de award door aan:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://madebyannemarie.blogspot.com/"&gt;Annemarie&lt;/a&gt;, een enthousiaste quiltster die nog niet zo heel lang een blog heeft. We hebben via onze weblogs leuk contact en ze maakt ook prachtige dingen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ook veel moois maakt&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://ateliervanslagmaat.blogspot.com/"&gt;Rietje&lt;/a&gt;. De sfeer van haar weblog vind ik heel plezierig. Ze vertelt over haar familie, laat mooie quilts en foto's van de omgeving zien. Ook recepten ben ik er tegen gekomen. Ze heeft ook een quiltwinkel, Atelier Van de Slagmaat, maar daar kwam ik pas later achter, op haar weblog verwijst ze er maar af en toe naar.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://myquiltdiary.blogspot.com/"&gt;Julie&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is een quiltster uit Japan. Ze is heel veelzijdig en heeft de prachtigste quilts gemaakt. Ze heeft al een flink aantal volgers verzameld, maar voor deze award mag ze zeker nog meedoen. Voordat ze een weblog bijhield, heeft ze een quiltdagboek bijgehouden. Op haar weblog, wat de toepasselijke naam 'Mijn Quiltdagboek' heeft, kun je dit allemaal inkijken, wel tot 1989. Een bron van inspiratie!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;On my turn, I pass the award on to:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://madebyannemarie.blogspot.com/"&gt;Annemarie&lt;/a&gt;, an enthusiastic quilter who has a blog less then a year. &amp;nbsp;We have good contacts through our weblogs and she makes beautiful stuff.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://ateliervanslagmaat.blogspot.com/"&gt;Rietje&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;also makes a lot of beautiful stuff. I like the atmospher of her blog very much. She talks about her family, shows beautiful quilts and pictures of the surroundings. I also read some recipes on her blog. She also has a quilt shop, Atelier Van de Slagmaat, but I found out about that only later, on her blog she refers to it only occasionally.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://myquiltdiary.blogspot.com/"&gt;Julie&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is a quilter who lives in Japan. She's very versatile and has made the most beautiful quilts. She has already collected quite a number of followers, but there can always be more! Before she started writing a blog, she had a quilt diary. On her blog, aptly named the 'My Quilt Diary', you can look into all this, back to 1989. A source of inspiration!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Eigenlijk ben ik wel benieuwd wie begonnen is met het uitreiken van deze award. &amp;nbsp;Ik heb gegoogeld op&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.google.nl/search?sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;q=liebster+blog+award"&gt;Liebster Blog&amp;nbsp;Award&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;en heb daar wat blogs bekeken, maar ik heb er geen verwijzing naar gevonden.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Actually I'm curious who has started issuing the award.&amp;nbsp;I've googled on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.google.nl/search?sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;q=liebster+blog+award"&gt;Liebster Blog Award&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and I have seen some blogs, but I did not find a reference to the starter.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: lime;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;UPDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;Ik heb vanmiddag via de mail een berichtje van Julie uit Japan ontvangen. Zij en haar man maken het goed. Het huis is flink door elkaar geschud en er is van alles omgevallen en stuk, maar het huis staat nog! Julie's man kon nog niet thuis komen omdat de treinen niet meer rijden, maar hij is oké.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;Ons hart gaat uit naar al die mensen die niet zo veel geluk hadden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"&gt;This afternoon I received a message by email from Julie from Japan. Julie and her husband are safe. Things were falling all around but the house is still standing!&amp;nbsp;Julie's husband could not come home because the trains no longer run, but he's okay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"&gt;Our heart goes out to all the people who were not so lucky.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-7158348558611923968?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/7158348558611923968/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=7158348558611923968&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/7158348558611923968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/7158348558611923968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/03/liebster-blog-award.html' title='Liebster Blog Award  -  update'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B25lUY1vHe4/TW61CRyli9I/AAAAAAAAArk/Y1lQHMMWHY4/s72-c/Liebster_blog_-_award_thumb%255B1%255D%255B1%255D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-4539531937604820025</id><published>2011-03-06T22:26:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-06T22:26:08.460+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boek'/><title type='text'>Verlangen naar de Lente    -    Longing for Spring</title><content type='html'>Het zonnetje schijnt weer lekker, maar ik vind het nog veel te koud.

Voor je het weet zit je weer een hele tijd blogs te lezen en is de tijd om wat te maken voorbij gevlogen. Ik heb dus veel achter de naaimachine gezeten in plaats van achter de computer.&lt;br /&gt;Ik heb weer&amp;nbsp;een project van mijn lijst aangepakt. De tas, een patroon van &lt;a href="http://pinkandbarbara.typepad.com/my_weblog/"&gt;Pink and Barbara&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;Een prachtige tas, maar ook een moeilijk patroon (voor gevorderden!). Ik snapte van sommige delen van de beschrijving dus helemaal niets en dacht, ik begin maar gewoon, dan kom ik er vast wel uit. Gelukkig bleek dit grotendeels ook zo te zijn. Alleen bij het middelste vak met rits ging het verkeerd. Ik wist echt niet hoe ik deze in/aan de binnentas moest naaien en heb deze er op het laatst met de hand ingenaaid. Pas toen de tas helemaal in elkaar zat, had ik in de gaten hoe ik het wel had moeten doen. Maar goed, dat lukt dan de volgende keer gewoon (hopelijk) wel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The last two weeks I have hardly been online.&amp;nbsp;Before you know, you are reading blogs for a few hours, then the time to create stuff is flown.&amp;nbsp;So I have been sitting a long time behind the sewing machine instead of the computer.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I made another object of my 'to do list', a bag pattern of P&lt;a href="http://pinkandbarbara.typepad.com/my_weblog/"&gt;ink and Barbara&lt;/a&gt;. The pattern was very difficult (advanced).&amp;nbsp;I did not understand some parts of the description but I thought, when I start, it will be obvious eventually.&amp;nbsp;It appeared to be so for most of the description. It went wrong with the middle part. I really did not know how to sew the middle zippered bag into the inner bag&amp;nbsp;and at last I had it sewn in by hand.&amp;nbsp;When the bag was all put together, I realized how I should have it done. Anyway, next time better.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-HXIHEFdWhy8/TXO7b33qX-I/AAAAAAAABkI/-1suq6epvQY/s1600/2011-03-06+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-HXIHEFdWhy8/TXO7b33qX-I/AAAAAAAABkI/-1suq6epvQY/s320/2011-03-06+006.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Lekprikster Els belde mij vorige week donderdag op om te vragen of ik zin had om mee te gaan naar de Handwerkbeurs en dat had ik natuurlijk wel. Ik was nog nooit naar deze beurs geweest, maar de volgende keer wil ik er wel weer naar toe (hint). Het was mega-druk, een deel van de beurs hebben we niet eens gezien! Maar goed, mijn mooie nieuwe tas kwam gevuld met lekkere zachte alpacawol en een borduurboek weer thuis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lekprikster Els invited me to join her to the Craft Fair and I liked that idea very much.&amp;nbsp;It was mega-crowded, so we have not seen the whole fair!&amp;nbsp;Anyway, on our way home my beautiful new bag was filled with lovely soft alpaca wool and an embroidery book.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-o-pjUsYLecc/TXPjTf9X1OI/AAAAAAAABlQ/WVAU87ICFIQ/s1600/2011-03-06+2011-03-06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="226" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-o-pjUsYLecc/TXPjTf9X1OI/AAAAAAAABlQ/WVAU87ICFIQ/s320/2011-03-06+2011-03-06.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sDF3VqipFUY/TXPAHjFpfAI/AAAAAAAABkM/WmHWEXyY3dg/s1600/2011-03-06+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sDF3VqipFUY/TXPAHjFpfAI/AAAAAAAABkM/WmHWEXyY3dg/s320/2011-03-06+004.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Vorig weekend was het heeeel slecht weer, dus na het huishoudelijke werk, wat &amp;nbsp;uiteindelijk toch ook gedaan moest worden, heb ik alweer veel tijd achter de naaimachine doorgebracht en eindelijk eens de handige 'knapzak' en &lt;a href="http://www.quiltgebeuren-webshop.nl/?menu=article&amp;amp;categoryID=833291&amp;amp;articleID=13112079"&gt;afvalhulpje&lt;/a&gt; van&lt;a href="http://www.quiltgebeuren.nl/"&gt; 't Quiltgebeuren&lt;/a&gt;' gemaakt. Hiervoor heb ik restjes gebruikt van de stoffen die ik &amp;nbsp;nog over had van de &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/WillekevanderHeijden/TrulyScrumptious?feat=embedwebsite#"&gt;Truly Scrumptious quilt&lt;/a&gt; die bij mijn naaitafel aan de muur hangt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Last weekend the weather was really bad. When the housekeeping was done, I spent some time behind my sewing machine.&amp;nbsp;I made a handy "knapsack" &amp;nbsp;and a small waste container/bag, a pattern of &lt;a href="http://www.quiltgebeuren.nl/index2.htm"&gt;'t Quiltgebeuren&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;For this I used the fabric which I also used for my &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/WillekevanderHeijden/TrulyScrumptious?feat=embedwebsite#"&gt;Truly Scrumptious quilt&lt;/a&gt; hanging on the wall behind my sewing table.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_DanAXij0x0/TXPFvI_kguI/AAAAAAAABkg/TuTyeyKsZcY/s1600/2011-03-06+017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_DanAXij0x0/TXPFvI_kguI/AAAAAAAABkg/TuTyeyKsZcY/s320/2011-03-06+017.JPG" width="211" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Afgelopen week moest er weer gewoon gewerkt worden, maar gelukkig had ik vrijdag tijd om voor DD1 een rok en petticoat voor Carnaval te maken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Last week it was back to a normal (two days) workweek, but luckily I had time on Friday to make a skirt and a petticoat for DD1 for Carnival.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1za5iaCJ_hs/TXPFuvC0jAI/AAAAAAAABkc/d3j0EaAd7k8/s1600/2011-03-06+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1za5iaCJ_hs/TXPFuvC0jAI/AAAAAAAABkc/d3j0EaAd7k8/s320/2011-03-06+019.JPG" width="217" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Zo vertrokken onze meiden 's avonds naar &lt;a href="http://oeteldonk./"&gt;Oeteldonk.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;And so our girls went to the Carnival in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oeteldonk#Carnaval.2FCatholic_Holiday"&gt;Oeteldonk&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toen ik vrijdag weer begon met het doornemen van diverse blogs en de mail, zag ik dat ik een award van &lt;a href="http://handige-handjes.blogspot.com/"&gt;Yvonne&lt;/a&gt; heb ontvangen. Wat ontzettend leuk, ik voel me erg vereerd! Dank je wel Yvonne! Het is een award voor bloggers met weinig volgers met de bedoeling deze wat meer onder de aandacht te brengen. Ik zal deze award op mijn beurt weer doorgeven aan 3 andere bloggers. Dat zal ik in mijn volgende blogbericht doen, want deze wordt nu al veel te lang!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B25lUY1vHe4/TW61CRyli9I/AAAAAAAAArk/Y1lQHMMWHY4/s1600/Liebster_blog_-_award_thumb%255B1%255D%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B25lUY1vHe4/TW61CRyli9I/AAAAAAAAArk/Y1lQHMMWHY4/s1600/Liebster_blog_-_award_thumb%255B1%255D%255B1%255D.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Last Friday &amp;nbsp;I started again reading several blogs and my email.

Je naait stroken van verschillende breedte aan elkaar en versnijdt deze (dwars) tot stroken van 5 cm breed. Deze stroken naai je om katoenen koord (ca 5 mm dik) heen, wel tot een lengte van 16 meter. Dan vorm je een cirkel en ga je ze tot een koker naaien. Voor de bodem knip je een cirkel. Aan de bovenzijde van de koker is een lap stof aangenaaid waar een trekkoord in verwerkt is. Daartussen zijn ook de hengsels meegestikt. De tas is ook helemaal gevoerd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F_bQzAZKdlo/TV-yrTAK0NI/AAAAAAAABhI/pgkf1tXfmSg/s1600/2011-02-16+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F_bQzAZKdlo/TV-yrTAK0NI/AAAAAAAABhI/pgkf1tXfmSg/s200/2011-02-16+010.JPG" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5i7SAIXWsbs/TV-ysWmuuuI/AAAAAAAABhM/UV5X5BBrQIs/s1600/2011-02-16+013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5i7SAIXWsbs/TV-ysWmuuuI/AAAAAAAABhM/UV5X5BBrQIs/s200/2011-02-16+013.JPG" width="116" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;It is a nice project to use up your scraps.

Vrijdagmiddag kwamen er 2 vriendinnen op visite en vrijdagavond ging ik weer met een andere vriendin naar de &lt;a href="http://www.huishoudbeurs.nl/nl/nl/Pages/Segments.aspx"&gt;Huishoudbeurs&lt;/a&gt; in Amsterdam. Daar was ik ooit 20 jaar geleden eens geweest. Wat een happening... we hebben onze ogen uitgekeken en hebben samen plezier gehad maar het was niet echt 'ons ding'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thursday it was time to do some housekeeping. Friday afternoon two friends came to visit and Friday night I went with another friend to the &lt;a href="http://www.huishoudbeurs.nl/nl/nl/Pages/Segments.aspx"&gt;Huishoudbeurs&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(a giant market on everything concerning living, housekeeping, fashion, beauty and so on) in Amsterdam.&amp;nbsp;It has been 20 years since the last (and only) time I went there.&amp;nbsp;What a happening. We had a nice evening and had fun together, but it was not really 'our thing'.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Op maandag en dinsdag werk ik altijd en vanmiddag heb ik dit blogbericht zitten schrijven. &amp;nbsp;En zo is een week snel voorbij. Maar ik heb vanavond en morgen nog om een naai- of borduurwerkje ter hand te nemen. Geniet van het weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;Mondays and Tuesdays I am at work and this afternoon I have been writing this blogpost. And so one week is over soon.&amp;nbsp;But I've still got tonight and tomorrow to sew and stitch.

We hebben eerst de exposities bekeken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;With Lekprikster Anneke and her husband I visited the Patchwork and Quiltdays.

But I am on a diet, ha ha, so I could not buy much.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We first viewed the exhibitions.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FmjKqzZNOzQ/TVgR7t2hdGI/AAAAAAAABfY/evxf70GLHfY/s1600/2011-02-12+2011-02-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FmjKqzZNOzQ/TVgR7t2hdGI/AAAAAAAABfY/evxf70GLHfY/s400/2011-02-12+2011-02-12.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Dit is een collage van een deel van de quilts van &lt;a href="http://supergoof.web-log.nl/"&gt;Supergoof&lt;/a&gt;.

Toen ik deze quilt zag, moest ik gelijk aan &lt;a href="http://sarah-redgingham.blogspot.com/"&gt;Sarah&lt;/a&gt; denken. Zij was mijn swap-partner bij de Dutch Sisters Spring Surprise Swap van vorig jaar. Sindsdien houden we contact via onze blogs en via mail. Sarah is echt een multitalent. Ze is volgens mij een allerliefste moeder, ze kan heel goed naaien, bakt de mooiste taarten en schrijft ook nog een geweldig leuk weblog bij elkaar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Wat heeft dat nu me deze quilt te maken. Nou kijk &lt;a href="http://sarah-redgingham.blogspot.com/search/label/Doilies"&gt;hier&lt;/a&gt;, Sarah spaart de kleedjes die in deze quilt zijn verwerkt ook en wil er geloof ik een bedquilt van maken. Sarah, zo'n quilt als deze vind ik ook wel bij jou passen hoor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is also one of the Ukrainian quilts. When I saw this quilt, I was thinking of Sarah. Sarah was my swap partner in the Dutch Sisters Spring Surprise Swap last year. Since then we keep in touch through our blogs and via email.&amp;nbsp;Sarah is a real multi-talent. I think she is a great mum, she sews well, bakes the best cakes and also writes a &lt;a href="http://sarah-redgingham.blogspot.com/"&gt;great blog&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;Why does this quilt make me think of Sarah? Well, look&lt;a href="http://sarah-redgingham.blogspot.com/search/label/Doilies"&gt; here&lt;/a&gt;, Sarah collects doilies which are used also in this quilt. I think Sarah wants to make a bed quilt of them. Sarah, I think a quilt like this is also in your style.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d0LeY0N9DOI/TVhD1u6H8vI/AAAAAAAABgI/O4qXJZiqd8U/s1600/2011-02-18.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d0LeY0N9DOI/TVhD1u6H8vI/AAAAAAAABgI/O4qXJZiqd8U/s320/2011-02-18.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UG1ZPzH1xj8/TVhD3r9rl4I/AAAAAAAABgQ/m8oi21ghues/s1600/2011-02-19.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="220" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UG1ZPzH1xj8/TVhD3r9rl4I/AAAAAAAABgQ/m8oi21ghues/s320/2011-02-19.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;naaimap - &lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;sewing folder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tja, ik mocht niet te veel kopen dus dat heb ik ook maar niet gedaan (denk ik). Ik heb een kit voor een speldenkussen gekocht die ik cadeau wil geven en het patroon van&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.thestitchcottage.nl/"&gt;The Stitch Cottage&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;'Op stap', een map om naaispullen in mee te nemen.&amp;nbsp;Ik had nog een cadeaubon van &lt;a href="http://www.hobbyhoekje.nl/"&gt;Het Hobbyhoekje&lt;/a&gt; en daar heb ik een '&lt;a href="http://www.busyfingerspatchwork.com/index.php?act=viewProd&amp;amp;productId=76"&gt;Playing with paper pack 4&lt;/a&gt;' (papieren malletjes met de bijbehorende acryl templates)&amp;nbsp;van &lt;a href="http://www.busyfingerspatchwork.com/index.php"&gt;Busyfingers&lt;/a&gt; gekocht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Well, I was supposed not to buy much, so I didn't (I think). I bought a kit for a pincushion as a gift for a friend, and a pattern of a sewing folder.&amp;nbsp;I had a gift certificate from a Dutch quiltshop and I have purchased a "&lt;a href="http://www.busyfingerspatchwork.com/index.php?act=viewProd&amp;amp;productId=76"&gt;Playing with Paper Pack 4&lt;/a&gt;" (paper templates with the corresponding acrylic templates) from &lt;a href="http://busyfingers./"&gt;Busyfingers.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zondagmiddag heb ik weer een blok van de Aunt Millie quilt afgemaakt. De foto daarvan bewaar ik voor mijn volgende bericht. Fijne dag!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sunday afternoon I finished the next block of the Aunt Millie quilt. &amp;nbsp;I keep the photo for my next blogpost. Have a nice day!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-7494057410291219784?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/7494057410291219784/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=7494057410291219784&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/7494057410291219784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/7494057410291219784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/02/fun.html' title='Fun!'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FmjKqzZNOzQ/TVgR7t2hdGI/AAAAAAAABfY/evxf70GLHfY/s72-c/2011-02-12+2011-02-12.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-8252395290955026401</id><published>2011-02-10T18:15:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-10T18:15:34.268+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='McKenna Ryan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><title type='text'>All Cooped Up</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O9Nv57XmACg/TVP4Erir6aI/AAAAAAAABe8/K9fRz674Qt8/s1600/P1070710.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="390" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O9Nv57XmACg/TVP4Erir6aI/AAAAAAAABe8/K9fRz674Qt8/s400/P1070710.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Yes, de twee McKenna Ryan - All Cooped Up blokken zijn af. Die 2 kan ik van mijn 'nog af te maken-lijstje' weg strepen. Ik heb er geen tunnels of ophanglussen aan gemaakt, maar ze om een stuk mdf gespannen, althans, dat heb ik samen met Hubby gedaan. Zo kunnen ze dit voorjaar, rond de Paasdagen, op het dressoir staan. Bij het quilten heb ik geprobeerd de vormen in de batikstof te volgen. Bij de bovenste lukte dat wat beter, bij de onderste was ik iedere keer 'de weg kwijt'.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yes, I finished the two McKenna Ryan -All Cooped Up blocks. So I can erase those from my 'to-do-list'.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I did not make a sleeve or hanging loops, but I pulled them, with the help of Hubby, over a piece of mdf-board.&amp;nbsp;So they can stand on the dresser in spring, around Easter. In the quilting I've tried to follow the shapes in the batik fabric.&amp;nbsp;At the first top it worked good, at the second one I &amp;nbsp;'lost track' &amp;nbsp;every time.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mb1ym3XN_qw/TVP4G-GC0gI/AAAAAAAABfA/wpWFXKemFIg/s1600/P1070711.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="314" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mb1ym3XN_qw/TVP4G-GC0gI/AAAAAAAABfA/wpWFXKemFIg/s320/P1070711.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik kijk uit naar komende zaterdag. Ik ga voor het eerst naar &lt;a href="http://www.patchworkenquiltdagen.nl/"&gt;de Patchwork &amp;amp; Quiltdagen&lt;/a&gt;. Ik heb me dat al vaker voorgenomen maar het kwam er steeds maar niet van. Nu zijn er o.a. exposities van de quilts van Mariet Soethout en &lt;a href="http://supergoof.web-log.nl/"&gt;Supergoof&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;en die wil ik niet missen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I am looking forward to next Saturday. I will visit the &lt;a href="http://www.patchworkenquiltdagen.nl/"&gt;Patchwork &amp;amp; Quiltdays&lt;/a&gt; for the first time.&amp;nbsp;There are exhibits of the quilts of Mariet Soethout and &lt;a href="http://supergoof.web-log.nl/"&gt;Supergoof&lt;/a&gt; and I do not want to miss it!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intussen hebben onze meiden de cijfers van de toetsweek allemaal binnen. Ze hebben beiden hele mooie cijfers gehaald en we zijn hartstikke trots op onze kanjers. Vooral DD1 is helemaal opgelucht. Ze moet dit examenjaar over doen en zag het een tijdje terug helemaal niet meer zitten. Dat is nu gelukkig over. Deze week heeft ze ook nog haar theorie-examen voor het rijbewijs gehaald. Wie weet haalt ze na de volgende toetsweek haar rijbewijs wel....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Meanwhile, the girls received&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt; the r&lt;/span&gt;esults of the last testweek.&amp;nbsp;They both have achieved very good grades and we're very proud of our whoppers&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Especially DD1 is completely relieved.&amp;nbsp;she is doing the exam year for the second time and a while back, she had a bad feeling about that. &amp;nbsp;Fortunately that is over now.

Toen ik thuis weer lekker zat op te warmen kwam de postbode met de envelop van de &lt;a href="http://www.fabricshack.com/"&gt;Fabric Shack&lt;/a&gt; met lapjes voor de Dresden Plate quilt. Al die mooie bloemen fleurden me weer helemaal op.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Because a collegue wanted to change a working day, I had a day off yesterday and so I was able to visit the weekly market. It was very cold and there were not many stalls, so I was soon back at home.&amp;nbsp;But with a nice bouquet of tulips.&amp;nbsp;While I was getting warm again, the postman came with an envelope of the &lt;a href="http://www.fabricshack.com/"&gt;Fabric Shack&lt;/a&gt; with fabrics for the Dresden Plate quilt.&amp;nbsp;All those beautiful flowers brightened me up completely.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TUlnLTEIcxI/AAAAAAAABec/99QJA-aAl-E/s1600/2011-02-02+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TUlnLTEIcxI/AAAAAAAABec/99QJA-aAl-E/s320/2011-02-02+019.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TUlnK63ojWI/AAAAAAAABeU/z1IH_yEILc0/s1600/2011-02-02+016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="306" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TUlnK63ojWI/AAAAAAAABeU/z1IH_yEILc0/s320/2011-02-02+016.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Af en toe neem ik een etuitje met hexagons mee naar mijn werk. In de pauze zit ik dan te plakken of de hexagons aan elkaar te naaien. Van veel lapjes uit mijn voorraad heb ik een strook afgesneden om de hexagons van te kunnen maken. Gewoon een lekker makkelijk en leuk werkje om effies tussendoor te doen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sometimes I take a little pouch with hexagons with me when I go to work. During lunchbreak I am glueing or sewing the hexagons. I have cut a strip of many pieces from my stash, of which I make the hexagons. Just a nice and easy job to do.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTdXimOvIMI/AAAAAAAABbo/pRpEG1JfvSI/s1600/2011-01-19+067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="382" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTdXimOvIMI/AAAAAAAABbo/pRpEG1JfvSI/s400/2011-01-19+067.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laatst vroeg een collega of ik eens wilde kijken naar wat naaispulletjes die ze had gekregen. Ze had mij bezig gezien met de kartonnetjes en dacht dat er spulletjes bij zaten waar ik wel weg mee wist. Kijk, 2 maten kartonnetjes en 1 metalen mal. Ook zaten er oude houten klosjes quiltgaren bij. Een metalen kokertje met naalden, wat megagrote naalden en blauw band mocht ik ook hebben. Dat is nog eens een leuke collega, vind je ook niet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Recently a colleague asked me if I wanted to have a look at some sewing stuff she received. She thought that there were things that I would like to have. Look, two sizes of cardboard hexagons and a metal hex. Also there were old wooden spools of quilting thread. A metal tube with needles, some mega-sized needles and blue ribbon I could have too. That's a nice collegue, don't you think?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTdXjipRFNI/AAAAAAAABbs/VuShmrSETBM/s1600/2011-01-19+060.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTdXjipRFNI/AAAAAAAABbs/VuShmrSETBM/s320/2011-01-19+060.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-3069634859694222850?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/3069634859694222850/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=3069634859694222850&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/3069634859694222850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/3069634859694222850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/02/bloemen-flowers.html' title='Bloemen - Flowers'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TUlnM_SyfBI/AAAAAAAABeg/CSNGEvtfeCs/s72-c/2011-02-02+014.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-1729136655660365120</id><published>2011-01-27T20:25:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-27T20:25:49.685+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aunt Millie'/><title type='text'>Knippen en plakken   -   Cut and paste</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TUF2T_Ny91I/AAAAAAAABd0/_UXnUiYPCsU/s1600/P1070681.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="294" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TUF2T_Ny91I/AAAAAAAABd0/_UXnUiYPCsU/s320/P1070681.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Het Aunt Millie blok was al even klaar, maar ik kon er niet eerder een&amp;nbsp; goede foto van maken.

Onze 2 dochters zitten in hun eindexamenjaar en hebben deze week toetsweek. Ze zitten tot 's avonds laat te leren. DD2 had vandaag een toets biologie en over wat moeilijke onderwerpen heeft ze een leuke en goede uitleg gevonden. Lang leve het World Wide Web!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Yes, work is being done here at home. Our two daughters are in their final year and this week is testweek at school.&amp;nbsp; They sit up late at night to learn. DD2 had a biology test today and she has found some good and nice explanations of difficult topics. Long live the World Wide Web!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://2.gvt0.com/vi/C1_uez5WX1o/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/C1_uez5WX1o&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" /&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /&gt;&lt;embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/C1_uez5WX1o&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://2.gvt0.com/vi/FUA6_Ucw3i4/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FUA6_Ucw3i4&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" /&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /&gt;&lt;embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FUA6_Ucw3i4&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trouwens,&amp;nbsp; in november vertelde ik dat ik met DD2 naar een paar open dagen was geweest en dat ze er over dacht om een jaar naar het buitenland te gaan. Inmiddels is de knoop doorgehakt...ze gaat een jaar Highschool volgen in Australië! Maar eerst 'nog even' het diploma halen natuurlijk.&lt;br /&gt;Nog een reden om blij te zijn met het internet, hierdoor kunnen we gemakkelijk contact houden als ze helemaal Down Under is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Besides, in November I mentioned that DD2 and I visited some informative meetings at different schools and that she had thought about going abroad for one year. Well, the decision is made, next school year she is going to follow one year high school in Australia!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;But first she has to pass her exams of course. &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;Another reason to be happy with the Internet, which will enable us to keep in touch when she is Down Under. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-1729136655660365120?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/1729136655660365120/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=1729136655660365120&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/1729136655660365120'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/1729136655660365120'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/01/knippen-en-plakken-cut-and-paste.html' title='Knippen en plakken   -   Cut and paste'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TUF2T_Ny91I/AAAAAAAABd0/_UXnUiYPCsU/s72-c/P1070681.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-7690333960655638086</id><published>2011-01-21T14:09:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-21T14:09:58.494+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aunt Millie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lekprikkers'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTddT6ACvVI/AAAAAAAABbw/I50zJvbD-pA/s1600/2011-01-19+155.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTddT6ACvVI/AAAAAAAABbw/I50zJvbD-pA/s320/2011-01-19+155.JPG" width="319" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Vorige week ben ik weer begonnen aan een volgend blok van Tante  Millie quilt. Het ging niet zo snel doordat ik een paar dagen zowat scheel keek van de hoofdpijn. Dat is gelukkig nu helemaal over en het blok is bijna klaar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Last week I started working again on the Aunt Millie's Garden Quilt. I couldn't work very fast because I was seeing cross-eyed by the headache.

Sommige Lekpriksters hadden lieve en leuke cadeautjes meegenomen. Een mooi sneeuwvlokjesverhaal van Toon Hermans met een sneeuwkristal erbij; en een patroon van een leuk uiltje en een patchworkbal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Wednesday we had the monthly Lekprikkermeeting. A few Lekprikker-ladies brought some lovely and nice gifts for us.

Van een strook stof een soort honingraat maken. En daar kon je dan bijvoorbeeld een bloem van maken. Els ging het ons allemaal uitleggen en had haar eigen werkstuk meegenomen als voorbeeld.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;The workshop this morning was quite difficult.&amp;nbsp; Making a sort of honeycomb of a strip of fabric. With that you could make for example a flower. To give an example Els showed us her own project.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vind je dit er ook niet erg ingewikkeld uitzien?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;It doesn't look complicated at all don't you think &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;;-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTicOuLQXtI/AAAAAAAABco/ejgMzuUJdvo/s1600/2011-01-19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="281" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTicOuLQXtI/AAAAAAAABco/ejgMzuUJdvo/s400/2011-01-19.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De Show en Tell. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTionNGLOLI/AAAAAAAABc8/6gRYZcKh7LE/s1600/2011-01-191.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTionNGLOLI/AAAAAAAABc8/6gRYZcKh7LE/s400/2011-01-191.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTiopHxPweI/AAAAAAAABdA/-tjhq2-EUBg/s1600/2011-01-192.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TTiopHxPweI/AAAAAAAABdA/-tjhq2-EUBg/s400/2011-01-192.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Wil mocht een antieke Amerikaanse quilt van een vriendin lenen om deze aan ons te kunnen laten zien.

Inmiddels is alle sneeuw weggeregend, zijn de Kerstspullen weer naar zolder en is het huis weer lekker opgeruimd. Dat is namelijk wat wij meestal in de dagen tussen Kerst en Oud en Nieuw doen, het huis opruimen en dan opgeruimd aan het nieuwe jaar beginnen. Dan nemen we ons ook voor om het volgende jaar alles eens opgeruimd te houden, maar je raadt het al, dat lukt dus niet. &lt;br /&gt;Hubby is bij Ikea langs gegaan (ik moest werken en kon helaas niet mee) en heeft 2 boekenkasten gekocht. De boeken die beneden zowat de boekenkast uit kwamen rollen zijn naar boven, naar de nieuwe boekenkasten verhuisd. Zo kwam er beneden weer plaats vrij. Mijn quiltboeken staan nu mooi bij elkaar, vlak bij mijn naaitafel. De vogel-encyclopedie van Hubby staat binnen handbereik. Kijk eens wat een mooie platen hier in staan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yes I know, it is a little bit late, but I still want to wish you all &lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;a very good and healthy 2011&lt;/span&gt;. Meanwhile all the snow has rained away, the Christmas stuff is back to the attic and the house is tidy again. That is what we always do in the days between Christmas and New Year; clearing up the house to start the new year with a nice cleared house. Every year we have good intentions te keep the house tidy, but you guessed it, we don't succeed in doing that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Hubby went to Ikea (I had to work and could not join him) and bought two bookcases. The books tumbled out of the bookcases downstairs, now we have moved a lot of our books to the new bookcases upstairs. Now my quiltingbooks are in a nice row, nearby my sewing table. Hubby's Bird Encyclopedia (vintage) is within reach. Look what a beautiful drawings!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TShTNlQjPFI/AAAAAAAABaU/yTWDsLVVIOk/s1600/2011-01-08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TShTNlQjPFI/AAAAAAAABaU/yTWDsLVVIOk/s400/2011-01-08.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onder mijn naaitafel heb ik ook een aantal bakken met quiltstoffen voor verschillende projecten verzameld. Ik heb alles weer eens door mijn handen laten gaan en een lijst gemaakt van de quilts die ik nog af moet maken en waar ik patronen en stof voor klaar heb liggen. Het is niet zo dat ik dit alles nu eerst af moet maken, maar ik vind het wel prettig om overzicht te hebben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Under my sewing table, I have a number of containers with quilt fabrics collected for different projects. I have let it all go through my hands and I made a list of the quilts I am working on and of the quilts I still want to make (of which I already have fabrics and patterns).&amp;nbsp; It's not that I must make them immediately, but I like to have my ongoing projects well organised.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TShXv6cF3pI/AAAAAAAABaY/Bmc28Pv0m40/s1600/013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="125" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TShXv6cF3pI/AAAAAAAABaY/Bmc28Pv0m40/s200/013.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Rozenquilt voor DD1: de top, tussenvulling en stof voor de achterkant liggen allemaal al klaar.&amp;nbsp; Binnenkort gaan we samen dubbelen....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Quilt with rose fabrics for DD1: the top, batting and backing are here.

Dat krijg je dus als je iedere keer nieuwe aankopen boven op je eerdere aankopen legt. Een pakket met stoffen voor een Zeemeerminnenquilt en een pakket van 't Quiltgebeuren genaamd 'Het Vrolijke Nootje'.&amp;nbsp; Ik hoef me dus voorlopig niet te vervelen...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TShTAyDMA9I/AAAAAAAABZw/t2pzkK_oU14/s1600/2011-08-01+012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TShTAyDMA9I/AAAAAAAABZw/t2pzkK_oU14/s320/2011-08-01+012.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Prettig weekend!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ooh, I thought my list was completed but I still have 2 more! That is what happens when you put new purchases on top of your previous ones. A package of materials for a 'mermaid' quilt and a package of materials to make 't Vrolijke Nootje'. So I have plenty to do for a long time, I won't get bored....&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Have a nice weekend!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-4340469159552116760?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/4340469159552116760/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=4340469159552116760&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/4340469159552116760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/4340469159552116760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2011/01/2011.html' title='2011 !'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TShTNlQjPFI/AAAAAAAABaU/yTWDsLVVIOk/s72-c/2011-01-08.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-5292801920109379853</id><published>2010-12-25T16:56:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-25T16:56:57.057+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='swap'/><title type='text'>Merry Christmas</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/SzSsTsdj8sI/AAAAAAAAAjs/UY16YpfHWEo/s1600/2009+december+16+098.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/SzSsTsdj8sI/AAAAAAAAAjs/UY16YpfHWEo/s320/2009+december+16+098.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik wens iedereen&lt;b&gt; Prettige Kerstdagen&lt;/b&gt; toe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;Merry Christmas&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; to you all.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vandaag mogen de foto's van de Kerstruil geplaatst worden.

Nogmaals bedankt Leonie! Ik heb al genoten van de thee en de kaarsen steken we vanavond aan. Jammer genoeg heb ik geen tijd meer gehad om het kerstengeltje te maken. Uiteraard komen de rode en roze lapjes en ook het speldenkussentje goed van pas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;This nice package I received from &lt;a href="http://www.creatiefbezigzijn.blogspot.com/"&gt;Leonie&lt;/a&gt;. Thanks again Leonie! We already enjoyed the tea and tonight we will light the candles. Unfortunately, I had no time to make the Christmas Angel.

Omdat Els geen weblog heeft, laat ik de foto's op mijn blog zien. Els stuurde mij deze foto. Gelukkig vond ze de cadeautjes die ik voor haar maakte en kocht erg leuk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I made these presents for Els.

Voor de gelegenheid was ook Ineke van quiltwinkel &lt;a href="http://www.quiltershome.nl/"&gt;Quiltershome&lt;/a&gt; (Texel) van de partij. Ineke had een leuke workshop voor ons voorbereid. Een klein kerstboompje. Hiervoor heb je nodig, een houten klosje en een passend stukje rondhout. Verder een serie cirkels van groene lapjes. Hiervan maak je yo-yo's, je vult ze een beetje met fiberfill en vervolgens prik je ze op het rondhout. Het is leuk om wat fiberfill er tussenuit te laten piepen, zodat het kerstboompje besneeuwd lijkt.&amp;nbsp; Kijk, zo moet-ie worden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpcp5uAR2I/AAAAAAAABXM/EWsVHPohGow/s1600/2010-12-15+008+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpcp5uAR2I/AAAAAAAABXM/EWsVHPohGow/s400/2010-12-15+008+b.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ineke's kerstboom&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; Inekes' Christmas tree &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpcsTYhalI/AAAAAAAABXQ/n_dpWXlR4gE/s1600/2010-12-15+010+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpcsTYhalI/AAAAAAAABXQ/n_dpWXlR4gE/s200/2010-12-15+010+b.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Wednesday morning we had the last meeting this year of the Lekprikkers; the Christmas meeting. Janske decorated the barn beautifully and she also baked very tastful fruitcakes. For the occasion Ineke (&lt;a href="http://www.quiltershome.nl/"&gt;Quiltshop Quiltershome&lt;/a&gt;) was also present. Ineke had prepared a fun workshop for us. A small Christmas tree. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;For this you need a wooden spool and a suitable piece of roundwood. Furthermore, a series of circles of green fabric. With the circles you make yo-yo's, then fill the yo-yo's&amp;nbsp; with al little bit of fiberfill and put the yo-yo's on the pole. It's nice to beep some fiberfill out of the yo-yo's , so it looks like a snowy Christmas tree. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpfgvCak6I/AAAAAAAABXU/iZV6O3qJudg/s1600/2010-12-15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="280" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpfgvCak6I/AAAAAAAABXU/iZV6O3qJudg/s400/2010-12-15.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Voor alle Lekprikkers en voor Ineke was er een kerstcadeau. Een paar Lekprikkers hadden mooie (zelfgemaakte) cadeautjes met kerstwensen voor ons allemaal. Thuis heb ik alles bij elkaar op de foto gezet (fotootje rechtsonder in de collage). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;For all Lekpriksters and Ineke there was a Christmas gift. A few members did make a nice (homemade) little gift with Christmas wishes for all of us. I made a picture of it at home (at right below).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit zijn de collages van de show and tell.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;Pictures of the show and tell. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpfhYU8h6I/AAAAAAAABXY/fg2p40PXUzE/s1600/2010-12-151.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="283" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpfhYU8h6I/AAAAAAAABXY/fg2p40PXUzE/s400/2010-12-151.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpfim00C9I/AAAAAAAABXc/6-fOPzs3eDo/s1600/2010-12-152.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpfim00C9I/AAAAAAAABXc/6-fOPzs3eDo/s400/2010-12-152.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We moesten natuurlijk ook onze viltjasjes showen. Regina had haar jasje niet meegenomen en ontbreekt helaas op de foto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;We had to show our felted jackets.&amp;nbsp; Regina sadly lacks in this picture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpyO6xn3VI/AAAAAAAABXg/_tAb6YKHOFw/s1600/2010-12-15+021+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpyO6xn3VI/AAAAAAAABXg/_tAb6YKHOFw/s400/2010-12-15+021+b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Yes, aan het eind van de ochtend had ik mijn yo-yo kerstboompje klaar! Het ziet er nog wel een beetje rommelig uit, het was best een haastklus. Eerdaags ga ik de boom wat opknappen en er een sterretje op maken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Yes, at the end of the morning I had my yo-yo Christmas tree ready! It still looks a bit messy, it was quite a rush job. One of these days I will smarten up the tree&amp;nbsp; and I will make a little star on top of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpyQi30YWI/AAAAAAAABXo/mChzdcu8y5c/s1600/2010-12-15+051+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpyQi30YWI/AAAAAAAABXo/mChzdcu8y5c/s320/2010-12-15+051+b.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maar eerst ga ik ons huis verder in kerstsfeer brengen en mijn werktafel/hoek opruimen....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;But first I will decorate the house with Christmas stuff and tidy up my work table/area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpyUKNnTEI/AAAAAAAABXw/ZewIbT5LpBE/s1600/2010-12-15+059.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpyUKNnTEI/AAAAAAAABXw/ZewIbT5LpBE/s400/2010-12-15+059.JPG" width="300" /&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-7392780281863995377?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/7392780281863995377/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=7392780281863995377&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/7392780281863995377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/7392780281863995377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2010/12/kerst-bij-de-lekprikkers-christmas-at.html' title='Kerst bij de Lekprikkers  -   Christmas at the Lekprikkers'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQpcn4TqIOI/AAAAAAAABXI/ypphwHPvHA4/s72-c/2010-12-15+007+b.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-5326491165109125278</id><published>2010-12-10T19:57:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-10T19:57:41.927+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='swap'/><title type='text'>Pillow Swap</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQJk31rRkhI/AAAAAAAABVw/NdB03ZhvSMw/s1600/2010-12-10+002+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="377" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TQJk31rRkhI/AAAAAAAABVw/NdB03ZhvSMw/s400/2010-12-10+002+copy.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Wat is Swappen toch leuk.

Ik had wel eens met lontwol gevilt maar dit was heel andere koek! De workshop werd gegeven door &lt;a href="http://www.sharit.net/Collection_Felt.html"&gt;Sharit&lt;/a&gt;, klik even, want het is echt de moeite waard om eens rond te kijken op haar website. Op vrijdagavond vertelde Sharit hoe we ons jasje zouden gaan maken en deed het ons voor met een patroon op kinderformaat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;In November a workshop felting was organized by Els. The workshop was given by &lt;a href="http://www.sharit.net/index.html"&gt;Sharit&lt;/a&gt;, click here, it is really worth to visit her website. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;On Friday evening Sharit showed us how we were going to make our jackets by using a child-size pattern. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP9kpAkEZVI/AAAAAAAABUI/1o_Ml72QpW4/s1600/2010-11-20+vilten.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP9kpAkEZVI/AAAAAAAABUI/1o_Ml72QpW4/s400/2010-11-20+vilten.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;De tafels werden bedekt met 'bobbeltjesplastic' en ook het patroon (30%  groter dan een normaal patroon) werd hiervan geknipt. Hierna moest ieder  voor zich kiezen met welke kleuren en materialen we zouden gaan werken.  De volgende ochtend gingen we snel aan het werk. Gelukkig deed Sharit  het allemaal nog eens voor en kwam ze, als het nodig was, bij iedereen  helpen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;The tables were covered with 'bubble plastic' and we cut our pattern 30% larger than a normal pattern. After that, we had to choose the colors and materials to work with.  The next morning we went to work quickly. Fortunately Sharit showed us  again how to work with the needlefelt and, if necessary, she helped us.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TPePPFd3U7I/AAAAAAAABQM/qDsW_9dVrgg/s1600/P1070281.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TPePPFd3U7I/AAAAAAAABQM/qDsW_9dVrgg/s320/P1070281.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Met zeepwater bewerkt naaldvilt, daarop een lap zijde en het patroon.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr align="right"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TPePTCIFAkI/AAAAAAAABQc/SluZVZAM-mA/s1600/P1070285.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TPePTCIFAkI/AAAAAAAABQc/SluZVZAM-mA/s320/P1070285.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;de zijde wordt om het patroon heen 'geplakt'.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TPePWI0bzII/AAAAAAAABQo/h_G31SMvJ40/s1600/P1070288.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TPePWI0bzII/AAAAAAAABQo/h_G31SMvJ40/s320/P1070288.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TPePYE-7QnI/AAAAAAAABQw/Lh__2b2sNks/s1600/P1070291.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TPePYE-7QnI/AAAAAAAABQw/Lh__2b2sNks/s400/P1070291.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;het natte naaldvilt wordt bewerkt om de taille er in te krijgen&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;En dan begint het versieren. Eerst het ene voorpand, vervolgens alles met zeepwater natmaken en bedekken met plastic en dan het andere voorpand. Dit dan ook weer goed natmaken met zeepwater en met plastic afdekken. Vervolgens de hele handel omkeren en het achterpand hetzelfde bewerken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;We started decorating one front, then wet it all very well with soapy water and cover it with plastic. Then you do the same with the other front and the back side&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP9q7391x-I/AAAAAAAABUc/3H1bFgJh7ic/s1600/2010-11-20+vilten1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="452" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP9q7391x-I/AAAAAAAABUc/3H1bFgJh7ic/s640/2010-11-20+vilten1.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toen dat allemaal was gedaan, kregen we een heerlijke lunch. Dat was maar goed ook, want hierna moesten we nog harder werken. Vilten is hard werken hoor! Het in plastic ingepakte natte vilt werd opgerold en stevig ingepakt in het bobbeltjesplastic wat op de tafel lag. En dan maar heen en weer rollen maar met het hele pakket. En niet eventjes, maar wel een paar keer 15 minuten. Na 15 minuten rollen moest dan de boel afgerold worden en vanaf de andere zijde weer opgerold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Once that was done, we had a delicious lunch. That was good because hereafter we had to work&amp;nbsp; even harder. Felting is hard work you know!&amp;nbsp; The (in plastic-wrapped) wet felt had to be rolled up tightly and wrapped in the bubble plastic that was on the table. Then we had to roll, back and forth, the whole package. Not for a few moments, but a several times for 15 minutes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;After the package was rolled&amp;nbsp; for 15 minutes, we had to unpack it, roll it up and wrap it again, now from the other side,&amp;nbsp; in the bubble plastic and roll it again for 15 minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TPePwcblpFI/AAAAAAAABSk/NDRoia6v7tA/s1600/P1070320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TPePwcblpFI/AAAAAAAABSk/NDRoia6v7tA/s320/P1070320.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Als uiteindelijk het jasje goed was gevilt en ongeveer op maat was, kon het in warm water worden uitgespoeld. En dan passen... Brr, koud, zo'n natte jas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;When the wool finally was good felted and the jacket was about the right size, it could be washed in warm water. And then try it out......brrrr, a wet jacket is very cold! &amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP-HjGeU3wI/AAAAAAAABUk/mySgDR-GhxA/s1600/2010-11-20+vilten2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="451" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP-HjGeU3wI/AAAAAAAABUk/mySgDR-GhxA/s640/2010-11-20+vilten2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Els is het stralend middelpunt!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: blue; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP9JWSpStoI/AAAAAAAABT0/nIjhxN4EFyM/s1600/2010-12-08+007b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP9JWSpStoI/AAAAAAAABT0/nIjhxN4EFyM/s320/2010-12-08+007b.jpg" width="249" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;En dit ben ik in mijn zelfgevilte jasje.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: blue; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is me in my jacket. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="" style="clear: both; color: blue; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik realiseer me nu dat iedereen, behalve ik, 'met hoofd' op de foto staat. Hoppekee, dit ben ik met hoofd. Ook koud, zo buiten in de sneeuw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I realize that everyone, except me, is 'with head' on the photo. Voila, here I am, also with head. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;Very cold too, outside in the snow.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1562497945"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1562497946"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP_MD_l6-RI/AAAAAAAABVc/RM7-MtU0NLk/s1600/2010-12-08+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="310" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP_MD_l6-RI/AAAAAAAABVc/RM7-MtU0NLk/s320/2010-12-08+011.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP_RvVHJThI/AAAAAAAABVo/oOt6ZCyNrF0/s1600/Een+Keukenmeidenroman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP_RvVHJThI/AAAAAAAABVo/oOt6ZCyNrF0/s200/Een+Keukenmeidenroman.jpg" width="130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Aan het eind van het jaar lijkt het altijd of de tijd nog sneller voorbij vliegt.&lt;br /&gt;Gelukkig had ik ook nog tijd om me door een prachtig boek mee te laten voeren nl. 'Een Keukenmeidenroman', geschreven door Kathryn Stockett. Een dikke pil van bijna 500 pagina's waarin het leven van vrouwen in het Mississippi van de jaren 60 wordt beschreven. Aan zwarte vrouwen wordt wel de  opvoeding van blanke kinderen toevertrouwd, maar niet het poetsen van  het tafelzilver. Drie vrouwen zijn het allesbepalende racisme meer dan  zat en besluiten dat de verschillen tussen hen minder belangrijk zijn  dan de overeenkomsten. Een geweldig verhaal! Als je van lezen houdt, kan ik je dit boek van harte aanbevelen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP_Rh7z1HGI/AAAAAAAABVk/SJBDq_fphtE/s1600/the+help.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP_Rh7z1HGI/AAAAAAAABVk/SJBDq_fphtE/s200/the+help.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;At the end of the year it always seems that time flies by faster then ever.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Luckily I had time to let me be carried away by a wonderful book named 'The Help' written by Kathryn Stockett. A great tome of nearly 500 pages in which the lives of women in Mississippi in the sixties is described. To black women is entrusted the education of white children, but not polishing the silverware. Three women are fed up with the racism and conclude that the differences between them are less important than the similarities. A great story! If you like to read, I can heartly recommend this book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-7896922400533951922?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/7896922400533951922/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=7896922400533951922&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/7896922400533951922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/7896922400533951922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2010/12/workshop-vilten-workshop-felting.html' title='Workshop vilten    Workshop Felting'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TP9JVaJRyhI/AAAAAAAABTw/m-5Cq61PVVE/s72-c/2010-12-08+013+b.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-798907614215612675</id><published>2010-11-25T20:26:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-11-25T20:26:58.942+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quiltbengels'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='swap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='breien'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lekprikkers'/><title type='text'>Ben ik weer ....

Bij de Quiltbengels zijn we, indien voltallig,&amp;nbsp; maar met 5 vrouwen dus de hoeveelheid quilts en ander werk is minder groot dan bij de Lekprikkers (20 vrouwen). Maar het is zeker net zo mooi. Vooral het Merry Christmasborduurwerk en de Scandivian Christmasquilt zijn prachtig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;At the meeting of the Quiltbengels, the following was shown.&amp;nbsp; At the Quiltbengels we are, if complete, only with 5 woman. So the number of quilts and other work is less than with the Lekprikkers (20 woman). But it certainly is just as beautiful. Especially the Merry Christmas Embroidery and the Scandivian Christmas Quilt are wonderful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TO1rv3xUqKI/AAAAAAAABNY/WNDTWNBN5K0/s1600/2010-11-172.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="451" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TO1rv3xUqKI/AAAAAAAABNY/WNDTWNBN5K0/s640/2010-11-172.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ook ben ik een dag met DD2 naar een open dag van de Hogeschool  van Amsterdam geweest. En DH is met haar mee geweest naar een  informatie-avond voor buitenlandse scholen. Daar is ze heel enthousiast over. Australië of Nepal lijkt haar wel wat. Als je dan toch naar het  buitenland gaat, dan maar gelijk zo ver mogelijk toch? Zaterdag gaat ze nog naar een open dag in Utrecht, misschien (hopelijk) vindt ze dat nog  wel veel leuker.&lt;br /&gt;Oh jee, ik hoor net dat ze ook gaat kijken bij een van de organisaties die de High Schooljaren in het buitenland organiseren. Gelukkig duurt het nog een half jaar voordat ze examen doet, dan kan ik vast aan het idee wennen....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;With DD2 I also visited an informative meeting of the Academy of Amsterdam. And DH was with her to an information evening for foreign schools. She was very enthousiastic about it. Australia or Nepal, that sounds like a good idea to her. If you must go abroad, then it has to be as far as possible right? Next Saturday she will visit an informative meeting of another school in Utrecht, maybe (hopefully) she likes it there too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Oh dear, I just heard that she is also going to a meeting of one of the organizations that organize the High School years abroad. Thank goodness, it takes another 6 months before doing exams, so I can get used to the idea...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TO5uKt2843I/AAAAAAAABN0/clbZt3_t4yM/s1600/2010-11-25+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TO5uKt2843I/AAAAAAAABN0/clbZt3_t4yM/s200/2010-11-25+005.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Hier een sneak peek van de presentjes voor de Kerstruil/Swap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Here's a sneak peek of the Christmas presents for the Christmas Exchange. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En ik heb een baret gebreid. Past mooi bij mijn donkerbruine winterjas. De voorspelde kou en sneeuw kan komen hoor!&lt;br /&gt;De stekenverhouding klopte niet helemaal, dus de baret is iets te groot. Wat zal ik doen, heet wassen of elastiek door de band rijgen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;And I have knitted a beret. Fits nicely with my dark brown winter coat. The predicted cold weather and snow can come now! The wool I used, did not quite fit the pattern so the beret is slightly too big. What shall I do, hot wash or threading elastic through the band?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TO5uMKENbEI/AAAAAAAABN8/3jDvItkLYB0/s1600/2010-11-25+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TO5uMKENbEI/AAAAAAAABN8/3jDvItkLYB0/s320/2010-11-25+008.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TO5uLEJ74bI/AAAAAAAABN4/yoNTP9vvQvk/s1600/2010-11-25+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TO5uLEJ74bI/AAAAAAAABN4/yoNTP9vvQvk/s400/2010-11-25+007.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afgelopen weekend ben ik bij Els naar een viltworkshop geweest. Dit was heeeel erg leuk. Omdat ik weinig of geen ervaring met vilten had, vond ik het heel spannend. Het is allemaal goed afgelopen...volgend blogbericht meer hierover!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Last weekend I joined Els at a workshop felting.&amp;nbsp; This was really really fun.

Mijn profiel heb ik al aangepast dus jullie kunnen zien hoe &lt;strike&gt;oud&lt;/strike&gt; jong ik ben &lt;strike&gt;geworden&lt;/strike&gt;. Komend weekend vieren we de verjaardag van DD1 en dan hebben we alle verjaardagen hier er weer voor een jaar op zitten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;We have already celebrated a few birthdays, including my own. I have changed my profile, so you can see how &lt;strike&gt;old&lt;/strike&gt; young I &lt;strike&gt;have become&lt;/strike&gt; am. Next weekend we celebrate the birthday of DD1 and then we have celebrated all birthdays here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Vorige week ben ik naar de Regiodag van het Quiltersgilde geweest. Het was heel gezellig. Er was een prijsvraag waarbij we de juiste naam quiltblokken moesten plaatsen. Hierbij won ik een pakketje flannels. Helaas niet echt mijn smaak, maar DD2 vond ze best leuk. Ik zal ze dus nog maar even bij de voorraad lapjes bewaren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Last week I went to the regional yearly meeting of the Quiltersguild. It was a very pleasant day. There was a contest where we had to guess the correct name of quilt blocks. I won a packet of&amp;nbsp; flannel FQ. Not really my taste, but DD2 liked them, so I will keep them in stock for a while.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Er werden stofpakketjes met een blok en 'reisbeschrijving' uitgedeeld waarmee we die dag een blok in elkaar konden naaien. Het was even doorpezen en met nog wat hulp van &lt;a href="http://handige-handjes.blogspot.com/"&gt;Yvonne&lt;/a&gt;, zat het blok voor we naar huis gingen, in elkaar. De blokken linksboven en rechtsonder op de fotocollage zijn van mij. Helaas leende de stofjes zich niet erg voor dit blok. In het midden zie je het voorbeeld van de winkel &lt;a href="http://www.quiltshop.nl/"&gt;Quiltshop Leur&lt;/a&gt;, die ook deze workshop verzorgden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;We all received a packet with fabrics and a ´how to´ so we could sew a block that day. It was a hard job, but with some help from &lt;a href="http://handige-handjes.blogspot.com/"&gt;Yvonne&lt;/a&gt;, I managed to finish the block before the end of the meeting. In the picture, the blocks top left en bottom right are mine. Unfortunately the fabrics were not a very good choice for this block. In the middle of the picture you can see the example quilt of the shop &lt;a href="http://www.quiltshop.nl/"&gt;Quilt Shop Leur&lt;/a&gt;, who also took care of this workshop.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TMwzZUsq-SI/AAAAAAAABLw/L9_686sFOzw/s1600/2010-10-30.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="281" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TMwzZUsq-SI/AAAAAAAABLw/L9_686sFOzw/s400/2010-10-30.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Natuurlijk was er ook nog een show and tell. Helaas zijn er weer een stel foto's mislukt. Met de flits zijn de foto's overbelicht, maar zonder flits moeten de quilts effies stil gehouden worden, zodat het toestel goed scherp kan stellen. Dat lukte dus vaak niet. Maar gelukkig zijn er ook nog veel foto's wel gelukt. Als je op de foto's klikt, worden ze groter weergegeven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;And of course, there was a show and tell.&amp;nbsp; Unfortunately, there are another bunch of photos failed. With the flash the pictures are overexposed, but without a flash, the quilts may not move, so the camera can focus properly. Fortunately there were also pictures well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;If you click on the photos, they appear larger.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TMwzaiYH1bI/AAAAAAAABL0/A1RHbgLc7Eo/s1600/2010-10-301.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TMwzaiYH1bI/AAAAAAAABL0/A1RHbgLc7Eo/s400/2010-10-301.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TMwzb9u8wXI/AAAAAAAABL8/SZSrFkiAGts/s1600/2010-10-302.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TMwzb9u8wXI/AAAAAAAABL8/SZSrFkiAGts/s400/2010-10-302.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ik hoopte bij de quiltwinkel lapjes te kunnen scoren voor mijn Dresden Plates. Ik heb nl. nog wel witte stof voor de rand, maar niet genoeg gekleurde lapjes voor de appliquaties. Jammer genoeg heb ik niets in de toch ruime collectie kunnen vinden. Er waren genoeg mooie lapjes bij maar ik heb me ingehouden en heb niets gekocht. Best knap, vind je niet? &lt;br /&gt;Toen we naar huis gingen, kregen we nog een patroontje en een kerstengel mee. Een foto hiervan is te zien op het weblog van &lt;a href="http://mupminoes.blogspot.com/2010/10/regiodag-buren.html"&gt;Annelies&lt;/a&gt;. Het was een geslaagde dag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I hoped to be able to score some fabrics for my Dresden Plates at the quilt shop. I do have white fabric for the border, but not enough colored pieces for the applique. In the large collection, I could however not find it. There were many beatiful fabrics, but I was strong, I did not buy anything. Good of me, don't you think?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;When we went home, we received a litte pattern and a Christmas Angel. A picture of this can be seen on the blog of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://mupminoes.blogspot.com/2010/10/regiodag-buren.html" style="color: blue;"&gt;Annelies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;. It was a successful day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TMwzYv6gXoI/AAAAAAAABLs/N9FnBkyBxGg/s1600/110.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TMwzYv6gXoI/AAAAAAAABLs/N9FnBkyBxGg/s200/110.JPG" width="145" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Het kussen voor de pillow-swap van &lt;a href="http://dutchsister-s.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dutch Sisters&lt;/a&gt; is af! Ik ben zelf erg tevreden over het eindresultaat. Ik kan 'm natuurlijk nog niet laten zien, maar kan het niet laten....hier een sneak peak. Mijn swappartner &lt;a href="http://redhousechronicles-jenny.blogspot.com/"&gt;Jenny&lt;/a&gt; wilde graag een roze kussen. Hopelijk is het roze genoeg!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;The pillow for the Dutch Sisters pillow swap is finished! I'm very pleased with the result. Obviously I can not show it now, but I can not resist.... here is a sneak peak. My swap partner Jenny wanted a pink pillow. Hopefully it is pink enough!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-8547846246950130758?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/8547846246950130758/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=8547846246950130758&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/8547846246950130758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/8547846246950130758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2010/11/regiodag.html' title='Regiodag'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TNLSvMkagtI/AAAAAAAABMU/mxtw72126J4/s72-c/04-11-2010+001.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-8592522762364957750</id><published>2010-10-18T11:00:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-18T11:00:46.956+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dresden plate'/><title type='text'>Dresden Plate quilt</title><content type='html'>Natuurlijk heb ik ook nog gewerkt aan de Dresden Plates.

However, I think I will make a border with a flowery vine. What do you think?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Het wordt ook weer eens tijd om weer wat aan de AMGQ te gaan doen en ik heb me ook nog bij 2 Swaps (zie de buttons in de linkerkolom) aangemeld. Hier in huis zijn we ook nog eens alle 4 in 6 weken tijd jarig ook. Sommige verjaardagen worden ook nog in twee keer gevierd. De eerste verjaardag zit er inmiddels op. Binnenkort is ook Regiodag van de afdeling Rivierenland van het Quiltersgilde... hoezo drukke tijden? Maar in ieder geval wel gezellige tijden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;It is about time to return to the AMGQ and I also participate in 2 Swaps (see buttons in the left column). Here at home we have to celebrate 4 birthdays in 6 weeks, the first birthday has already been celebrated. Some birthdays will also be celebrated in two times.... Soon there is also the meeting of the Rivierenland division of the Dutch Quilters guild....what do you mean busy times? But in any case pleasant times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-8592522762364957750?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/8592522762364957750/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=8592522762364957750&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/8592522762364957750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/8592522762364957750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2010/10/dresden-plate-quilt.html' title='Dresden Plate quilt'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXGDnsXhpI/AAAAAAAABLE/Q23f3agxLs8/s72-c/2010-10-13+045.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-2757877687699041986</id><published>2010-10-14T09:57:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-14T09:57:31.206+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lekprikkers'/><title type='text'>Love is a Good Thing</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXGBK-Bv8I/AAAAAAAABK8/Ajg3XmsLbok/s1600/2010-10-13+001+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="395" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXGBK-Bv8I/AAAAAAAABK8/Ajg3XmsLbok/s400/2010-10-13+001+b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Afgelopen week heb ik aan dit quiltje gewerkt. Het is het patroontje dat we meekregen bij de laatste Lekprikkersbijeenkomst. Woensdagmorgen was alweer de volgende bijeenkomst en ik wilde het dus persé op tijd af hebben. Tijdens het naaien zat ik de hele tijd met het deuntje van het lied 'Love is a Good Thing' van Sheryl Crow in mijn hoofd. Het quiltje heb ik dus maar 'Love is a Good Thing' genoemd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Last week I worked on this little quilt. It is the pattern that we all received at the last Lekprikkers meeting. While I was sewing, I was humming all the time the tune of the song 'Love is a Good Thing' by Sheryl Crow. So the name of my 'love'-quilt&amp;nbsp; is 'Love is a Good Thing'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/&amp;lt;object%20width=&amp;quot;480&amp;quot;%20height=&amp;quot;385&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;param%20name=&amp;quot;movie&amp;quot;%20value=&amp;quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/nlargjfC48w?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=nl_NL%22%3E%3C/param%3E%3Cparam%20name=%22allowFullScreen%22%20value=%22true%22%3E%3C/param%3E%3Cparam%20name=%22allowscriptaccess%22%20value=%22always%22%3E%3C/param%3E%3Cembed%20src=%22http://www.youtube.com/v/nlargjfC48w?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=nl_NL%22%20type=%22application/x-shockwave-flash%22%20allowscriptaccess=%22always%22%20allowfullscreen=%22true%22%20width=%22480%22%20height=%22385%22%3E%3C/embed%3E%3C/object%3E"&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nlargjfC48w?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=nl_NL"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nlargjfC48w?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=nl_NL" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXGE3y1B3I/AAAAAAAABLI/HpfiZv4WRDc/s1600/2010-10-13+003+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXGE3y1B3I/AAAAAAAABLI/HpfiZv4WRDc/s320/2010-10-13+003+b.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Free motion quilten gaat me al wel gemakkelijk af, maar netjes een lijn volgen valt nog vies tegen. Hier moet ik blijkbaar nog meer op oefenen. Als je op deze foto klikt en dan nog verder vergroot, zie je bijvoorbeeld bij de krul van de L van die 'bibbers' in plaats van een mooi doorlopende lijn. Hopelijk wordt dat na meer oefenen beter. Als iemand goede tips heeft, hoor ik die graag hoor!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;FreeMotion quilting is already quite easy to me, but follow a neat line is still very hard to do. Apparantly I need to practice this more. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;When you click on this picture and then zoom in, you see at the curl of the L some irregularities instead of a smooth continuous line. If anyone has good tips, I would like to hear them!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hieronder weer foto-collages van de 'show and tell' tijdens de Lekprikkersbijeenkomst. Els heeft ons getrakteerd op gebak, zij en haar man waren nl. vorige week 40 jaar getrouwd.&amp;nbsp; Later kwamen er ook nog lekkere bonbons langs van Regina, die jarig was geweest. Nogmaals van harte gefeliciteerd en bedankt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Here again photo-collages of the show and tell of the Lekprikkersmeeting. Els has treated us to cake, because she and her husband were married for 40 years last week. Later, there were also delicious chocolates from Regina, whose birthday it was. Again, congratulations and thanks!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXF9pRMzvI/AAAAAAAABK0/YkmGhBID53c/s1600/2010-10-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXF9pRMzvI/AAAAAAAABK0/YkmGhBID53c/s320/2010-10-13.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXF_IifIjI/AAAAAAAABK4/Wj1wisTQEf0/s1600/2010-10-131.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="226" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXF_IifIjI/AAAAAAAABK4/Wj1wisTQEf0/s320/2010-10-131.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Op deze collage horen de foto's rechtsboven en linksonder bij elkaar. Het is een aardbei, waaruit een opvouwtas tevoorschijn kwam. Middenonder zijn de presentjes te zien die Alie voor ons had meegenomen uit Japan. We werden dus weer goed verwend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;On this collage the photos with the red gingham&amp;nbsp; belong together. It is a strawberry, which turned out&amp;nbsp; to be a folded bag.

Hiervoor kregen we al een lijst met benodigdheden door en wat voorbeelden te zien. Het ziet er naar uit dat dat ook weer een leuke bijeenkomst gaat worden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Next month, we are going to make a mosaic quilt. For this we alreay got a supply list and some examples. It looks as that is going to be a fun meeting again.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXGB8abLOI/AAAAAAAABLA/8rsqn1d0YDQ/s1600/2010-10-13+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXGB8abLOI/AAAAAAAABLA/8rsqn1d0YDQ/s320/2010-10-13+009.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; border-bottom: 0pt; border-left: 0pt; border-right: 0pt; border-top: 0pt;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-2757877687699041986?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/2757877687699041986/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=2757877687699041986&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/2757877687699041986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/2757877687699041986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2010/10/love-is-good-thing.html' title='Love is a Good Thing'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TLXGBK-Bv8I/AAAAAAAABK8/Ajg3XmsLbok/s72-c/2010-10-13+001+b.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-6355542417490198583</id><published>2010-10-01T08:54:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-01T08:54:07.926+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='roosjesquilt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dresden plate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='foto&apos;s'/><title type='text'>Dresden Plate en bedquilt</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS0Z_jfu4I/AAAAAAAABJk/bGkQj7LlpP4/s1600/2010-09-30+020+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="398" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS0Z_jfu4I/AAAAAAAABJk/bGkQj7LlpP4/s400/2010-09-30+020+1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS8f2drHkI/AAAAAAAABJw/IXtDAiY1kPE/s1600/P1060972-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS8f2drHkI/AAAAAAAABJw/IXtDAiY1kPE/s200/P1060972-1.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Inmiddels zijn er al een paar Dresden Plate-blokken klaar. Wat een leuk werkje! Het werken met de malletjes is zo handig en je kunt het ook gemakkelijk meenemen. Tijdens de lunchpauze op het werk, plak en naai ik lekker verder. Bij de cirkels in het midden van de plates maak ik weer dankbaar gebruik van de Perfect Circles die ik een tijdje geleden kocht. Ik heb de witte cirkeltjes overigens opgevuld met witte batting zodat het niet doorschijnt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS8hCe__GI/AAAAAAAABJ0/3c_GcuQQ-xQ/s1600/P1060974-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS8hCe__GI/AAAAAAAABJ0/3c_GcuQQ-xQ/s200/P1060974-1.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Meanwhile, there are a few Dresden Plate blocks ready. What a nice job! Working with the templates is so handy and you can easily carry it with you . So I&amp;nbsp; sew and glue during the lunch break at work. For the circles in the middle of the plates, I make good use of the Perfect Circles I bought a while ago. I have filled the white circles with white batting so it does not shine through .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS0Ygc4N1I/AAAAAAAABJc/oc5ysI6TPp8/s1600/2010-09-30+017+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="432" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS0Ygc4N1I/AAAAAAAABJc/oc5ysI6TPp8/s640/2010-09-30+017+1.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS0R4R13AI/AAAAAAAABJI/i7eVJuBgiIE/s1600/2010-09-30+001+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS0R4R13AI/AAAAAAAABJI/i7eVJuBgiIE/s400/2010-09-30+001+1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ook heb ik samen met DD1 met de verzameling roosjesstoffen zitten  puzzelen. Het wordt namelijk tijd dat zij ook een mooie sprei krijgt, net als DD2  die al eerder een roosjesquilt kreeg. Volgens mij heb ik die quilt hier  nog niet eens laten zien. Ik zal binnenkort (als madammeke haar kamer  een keer netjes heeft opgeruimd) een foto maken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zij wil,  net als DD2 destijds, alleen maar vierkanten en rechthoeken en geen  samengestelde blokken. Dat werkt wel lekker snel natuurlijk. Binnenkort  mag ze op haar knieën om mee te helpen met het sandwichen van de quilt.  Dat vind ik, op z'n zachts gezegd, het minst leuke onderdeel van een  quilt maken. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS0R4R13AI/AAAAAAAABJI/i7eVJuBgiIE/s1600/2010-09-30+001+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS0TbGv7sI/AAAAAAAABJM/DMoO4UYvBcc/s1600/2010-09-30+003+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TKS0TbGv7sI/AAAAAAAABJM/DMoO4UYvBcc/s200/2010-09-30+003+1.jpg" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I have been playing with rose fabrics with DD1. I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;t is time that she will also receive a nice bedspread, just as DD2 who already has got a rose quilt. I think I have not even show her quilt yet. As soon as the little lady has cleared her room, I will make a picture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;It is her wish that the quilt only has squares and rectangles. This works nice and fast ofcourse. Very soon, she may help me, on her knees, to sandwich the quilt. In my opinion, that is the least enjoyable part of quilt making.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vorige week heb ik ook nog een beetje met het fototoestel 'gespeeld'.&amp;nbsp; De zon scheen zo mooi op de bos zonnebloemen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Last week, I 'played' a bit with the camera.

Het was erg leuk om iedereen weer na zo'n lange tijd te zien en te spreken. Nadat Truus ons weer van alle wel en wee op de hoogte had gebracht, kwam er koffie en (nog warme) appeltaart en konden we snel beginnen aan de show and tell. Ik zal hier voornamelijk showen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;This beautiful bouquet from the garden of Janske welcomed us last week  at the first meeting after the summer holidays of the Lekprikkers. It was nice to see and speak everyone after so long. After Truus had informed us of all ups and downs, there was coffe and (still warm) apple pie and we could soon start with the show and tell.

Het was een lange leuke dag. De tentoonstelling was geweldig mooi. Het was die dag prachtig  weer en de zon scheen door de kerkramen naar binnen. Dat was helaas niet  zo handig bij het foto's maken, er vielen allemaal schaduwen op de  quilts. De meeste foto's zijn daarom detailfoto's waarop de verkeerde  lichtval op de quilts (bijna) niet te zien is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Last week I went with Hennie and &lt;a href="http://mupminoes.blogspot.com/"&gt;Annelies&lt;/a&gt; to the yearly exhibition of &lt;a href="http://www.quiltersgilde.nl/over-quiltersgilde/algemene-informatie/english?steID=1&amp;amp;catID=103"&gt;the Dutch Quiltersgilde&lt;/a&gt;.  It was a nice but long day. The  exhibition was pretty amazing. It was beautiful weather that day and the  sun shone through the church windows. So taking pictures was not easy,  there were all shadows on the quilts. Most pictures are detail pictures  so the wrong light on the quilts (almost) can not be seen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZGy7grFgI/AAAAAAAABGY/0iMcchv1ESk/s1600/P1060839+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZGy7grFgI/AAAAAAAABGY/0iMcchv1ESk/s320/P1060839+b.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;24 Ineke Duursma - Turkse schoonheid in de Hollandse polder&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZHGo9OeVI/AAAAAAAABGg/KHWVXowKmSY/s1600/P1060845+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZHGo9OeVI/AAAAAAAABGg/KHWVXowKmSY/s320/P1060845+b.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;217 Gine Vredeveld - Nieuw Zeeland&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZHoRlbOKI/AAAAAAAABGo/N8ED-QRYBJo/s1600/P1060859+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZHoRlbOKI/AAAAAAAABGo/N8ED-QRYBJo/s320/P1060859+b.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;54 Anneke Schoone - Wearable World Wide&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZIODzpnnI/AAAAAAAABGw/R0BtvjBeets/s1600/P1060704+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZIODzpnnI/AAAAAAAABGw/R0BtvjBeets/s320/P1060704+b.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;256 Sandra van Velzen - The Wind in the Willows&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZIxGmZIjI/AAAAAAAABG4/s_VsGwE8by0/s1600/P1060815+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZIxGmZIjI/AAAAAAAABG4/s_VsGwE8by0/s320/P1060815+b.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;120 Lianne van Herwaarden - Klassiek Duet&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZJULEZ7HI/AAAAAAAABHA/V9PpWJtthL0/s1600/P1060768+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZJULEZ7HI/AAAAAAAABHA/V9PpWJtthL0/s320/P1060768+b.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;141 Loes Klein - Eén op één neer&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Er waren nog veel meer quilts die ik heel erg mooi vond, maar ik kan ze hier uiteraard niet allemaal laten zien. De nummertjes onder de foto's zijn de nummers van de quilts zoals ze in de catalogus zijn opgenomen.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.quiltersgilde.nl/quilts/algemene-tentoonstelling-2010?steID=1&amp;amp;catID=218"&gt;Hier&lt;/a&gt; zullen te zijner tijd waarschijnlijk alle quilts te zien zijn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;There were many more quilts that I really liked very much, but of course, I can not show them all.

Het is redelijk gelukt. Een paar fq batik; een fq roze stof om nog in de AMGQ te gebruiken; een vingerhoed; een nieuwe needle threader (zo'n geweldig draad door de naald doorhaalding) en een pakketje kleine lapjes stof met kartonnetjes waar je dan het patroon bij kreeg. Ik kon het niet laten en ben hier direct aan begonnen. Het is een werkje wat je gemakkelijk mee kunt nemen. Ik werk er aan tijdens de lunchpauze op mijn werk. Wordt vervolgd....&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Of course I planned to buy not too much. I bought a few fq batiks, a fq pink fabric to use in the AMGQ, a thimble, a new needle threader&amp;nbsp; and a packet small scraps with English paper piecing templates with a pattern. My fingers itched, so I immediately started cutting, glueing and sewing. It is a needlework&amp;nbsp; that you can easily take away. I&amp;nbsp; am working on it during lunchbreak at work . To be continued ....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZLI6eE2YI/AAAAAAAABHI/QbRxLcBoRf0/s1600/P1060893+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZLI6eE2YI/AAAAAAAABHI/QbRxLcBoRf0/s640/P1060893+b.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS.&amp;nbsp; Volgens mij ben ik helemaal uit m'n quiltdip!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;PS.&amp;nbsp; I think I'm completely out of my quiltdip!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-103336806001039479?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/103336806001039479/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=103336806001039479&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/103336806001039479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/103336806001039479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2010/09/tentoonstelling-quiltersgilde.html' title='Tentoonstelling Quiltersgilde      Exhibition Dutch Quiltersguild'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJZGy7grFgI/AAAAAAAABGY/0iMcchv1ESk/s72-c/P1060839+b.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-1980284793855749352</id><published>2010-09-17T09:54:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-17T09:54:35.715+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tuin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aunt Millie'/><title type='text'>De tijd vliegt.     Time flies.</title><content type='html'>En alweer zijn er 2 weken voorbij gevlogen. Ik ben er niet aan toe gekomen om een berichtje te schrijven. Het was druk op m'n werk en thuis ben ik ook druk geweest.&lt;br /&gt;In huis waren toch een paar plekken die al een hele tijd niet meer echt goed opgeruimd en schoongemaakt waren. Ook een grote stapel met quilttijdschriften, prints en patronen heb ik doorgenomen. Dat was geen straf hoor, integendeel, ik vond het zalig om te doen. Veel leuker dan het schoonmaakwerk!&amp;nbsp; De tijdschriften passen al niet meer in de kast. Vandaar dat ze natuurlijk op die stapel terecht gekomen waren. Eigenlijk zou ik er een stel weg moeten doen, maar ik kan er nog geen afscheid van nemen. Hebben jullie dat ook? Ook mijn oude Ariadnes van 20 - 25 jaar geleden (toen het nog een handwerkblad was) heb ik nog op zolder staan. Die mogen echt nog niet weg! &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;And already there are 2 weeks gone by&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I could not find the time to write a blogpost. It was busy at work and at home I have been busy too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;At home I had a couple of places which were not really cleared and cleaned for a while. I have also sorted out a large pile of quilt magazines, computerprints and patterns. That was not a punishment , on the contrary , I liked it. Much more fun than cleaning! The magazines fit no longer in the closet. Actually I should get rid of a few of them, but I really can not do without them. Do you recognize that?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJJfEE_PSdI/AAAAAAAABFg/Dind8yv2BqQ/s1600/P1060680+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJJfEE_PSdI/AAAAAAAABFg/Dind8yv2BqQ/s320/P1060680+b.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Na al die regen van de vorige keer, hebben we gelukkig ook nog een paar hele mooie dagen gehad. De vijg in de tuin is inmiddels gesnoeid. We hebben er nog een paar lekkere vijgen af kunnen halen. Ook de druiven zijn 'geoogst'. Het waren de allereerste druiven en ze waren eigenlijk te klein, te veel vel en pit en te weinig sap. We gaan er maar van uit dat ze volgend jaar wat groter zullen zijn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;After all the rain recently, we luckily have had a few really beautiful days. The fig in the garden has been pruned. We could reap a couple of tasty figs.The grapes are " harvested " . They were the first grapes and they were  actually too small, too much skin and pit and little juice.We assume that next year the grapes will be bigger.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJJyASF3qDI/AAAAAAAABFo/K8p3VtGSnO0/s1600/P1060892.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="381" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TJJyASF3qDI/AAAAAAAABFo/K8p3VtGSnO0/s400/P1060892.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ook heb ik intussen wel weer een blok van AMGQ af! Tussen de 2 paarsblauwe bloemdelen zit te weinig contrast. Daar zal ik te zijner tijd nog wat leuks op verzinnen, iets met kraaltjes of zo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;And I have a new block of the AMGQ to show you!&amp;nbsp; Between the two purple-blue flower parts is not enough contrast. In time I will find something nice to solve that, with beads or another embellishment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nu rond ik alweer af, maar ik ben snel terug met foto's van de tentoonstelling van het Nederlandse Quiltersgilde en een verslag van de Lekprikkersbijeenkomst!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I will soon be back with pictures of the exhibition of the Dutch Quilters and a report of the Lekprikkersmeeting!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-1980284793855749352?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/1980284793855749352/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=1980284793855749352&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/1980284793855749352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/1980284793855749352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2010/09/de-tijd-vliegt-time-flies.html' title='De tijd vliegt.

Ik had al een hele tijd geleden een mailtje met een foto naar de Australian Homespun gestuurd, maar had never nooit meer iets gehoord. Nu blijkt dat mijn foto en mailtje geplaatst zijn in Homespun 11.4. Hartstikke leuk! Gelukkig maar dat Annelies het zag staan anders was ik er nooit achter gekomen. Bedankt Annelies! Meer foto's van de Wishquilt zijn te zien in het album in de linkerkolom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Last week &lt;a href="http://mupminoes.blogspot.com/"&gt;Annelies&lt;/a&gt; mailed me that she had seen&amp;nbsp; a picture of my Wishquilt in &lt;a href="http://www.completecraft.com.au/homespun/Homespun_Home"&gt;Homespun Magazine&lt;/a&gt;. A long time ago, I sent an email with a picture to Homespun Magazine but I never heard from them. Now it appears that my email and picture are placed in Homespun 11.4. Great fun! Thanks for the tip Annelies! More photos of my Wishquilt can be seen in the album in the left column .&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THaHH-OS5hI/AAAAAAAABEw/cAPhHmsPheA/s1600/2010-08-22+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THaHH-OS5hI/AAAAAAAABEw/cAPhHmsPheA/s320/2010-08-22+006.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Afgelopen zondag maakte ik deze foto's in de tuin. Voor het eerst sinds we onze druif hebben geplant, zitten er druiventrossen in. De druiven zijn nog niet rijp, maar de vogels hier uit de buurt hebben al zeker de helft van alle druiven eraf gegeten of eraf getrokken. We hebben er nu toch maar wat netten omheen gespannen want we willen zelf ook nog wat van de muskaatdruiven eten!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Last Sunday I made these pictures in the garden. For the first time since we have planted a grape , there are many grapebunches in. The grapes were not ripe yet , but the birds here ate at least half of all the grapes off. Now we have draped some nets around the grapes because we want to eat our muscat grapes ourselves!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THaHa3nukYI/AAAAAAAABE4/0jaOm4cyIIQ/s1600/2010-08-22+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THaHa3nukYI/AAAAAAAABE4/0jaOm4cyIIQ/s320/2010-08-22+003.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ook is dit jaar de vijg eindelijk zo groot dat we meerdere vijgen tegelijk kunnen oogsten. Maar ja, dat was zondag...&amp;nbsp; De afgelopen dagen hebben we zulk slecht weer gehad, dat de vijg helemaal los is gekomen van de muur waartegen hij groeide. Moet je 'm zien hangen. Als het weer droog wordt, moet de snoeischaar er in. Jammer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THaIBM-uWHI/AAAAAAAABFI/hW7ybdfSD80/s1600/2010-08-26+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THaIBM-uWHI/AAAAAAAABFI/hW7ybdfSD80/s320/2010-08-26+009.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;This year the fig tree has grown so big that we finally can harvest a lot of figs at the same time. But that was Sunday ...In recent days we have had such bad weather, that the fig tree has come completely loose from the wall against which it grew up. If the weather is dry, we will have to prune it back a lot. Pity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Kijk, vanmiddag regende het zo hard. Het water stroomde door de straat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Look, this afternoon it rained so hard . The water flowed down the street .&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THaIl1zQagI/AAAAAAAABFQ/DG7nXCMoEAE/s1600/2010-08-26+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="386" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THaIl1zQagI/AAAAAAAABFQ/DG7nXCMoEAE/s640/2010-08-26+006.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gelukkig zijn de vooruitzichten voor zaterdag wat beter. Zaterdag is er in Culemborg een &lt;a href="http://www.culemborgblues.nl/"&gt;Bluesfestival&lt;/a&gt;, en daar kunnen we zulk slecht weer niet bij gebruiken!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Fortunately, the outlook for Saturday is (a little bit) better. Saturday we have a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.culemborgblues.nl/cbenglish.htm" style="color: blue;"&gt;Blues Festival&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; in Culemborg and then we want to have good weather!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651677766935197402-6642247816528450672?l=lifeandquilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/feeds/6642247816528450672/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651677766935197402&amp;postID=6642247816528450672&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/6642247816528450672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651677766935197402/posts/default/6642247816528450672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandquilting.blogspot.com/2010/08/wishquilt.html' title='Wishquilt'/><author><name>Willeke van der Heijden</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/103283300853658901223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WYqRILjFCCk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACMA/fkQcdoU5k7A/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THaD5vqt8nI/AAAAAAAABEo/_1sMJbKrbi8/s72-c/Homespun+mailbag+article.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651677766935197402.post-3154351770390476499</id><published>2010-08-22T21:51:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-22T21:51:02.277+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boek'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aunt Millie'/><title type='text'>Een nieuw blok.

Wat gaat de tijd toch snel.. Vorige week maandagavond kwam DD2 weer terug van een weekje zeilen in Griekenland. Zij en haar vriendin hadden via internet een Nederlands echtpaar gevonden bij wie je een zeilvakantie in Griekenland kon boeken. Om daar te komen moesten ze natuurlijk ook nog een vliegticket boeken. Ze wilden daar niet te veel geld aan uitgeven en vonden een goedkope vlucht naar Athene vanaf het vliegveld Keulen/Bonn. Ze hadden echter niet in de gaten dat dat hier een heel eind vandaan is, met de auto zo'n 2,5 a 3 uur rijden. DH en ik vertrokken om 19.00 uur naar vliegveld Keulen en 's nacht om 01.30 konden we pas ons bed in kruipen. Wij blij dat de meiden gezond, vrolijk en bruin weer terug waren, maar we waren wel heel moe. De volgende ochtend moesten wij er ook weer op tijd uit om naar het werk te gaan; het heeft wel een paar dagen geduurd voordat we weer 'een beetje bij' waren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THFtRhZ9sHI/AAAAAAAABEQ/If4mES8MZSo/s1600/es+en+fleur+SPRING.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THFtRhZ9sHI/AAAAAAAABEQ/If4mES8MZSo/s400/es+en+fleur+SPRING.jpg" width="285" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Jump!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;And again a week has passed by, time flies. Last week Monday DD2 came back from a week sailing in Greece. She and her girlfriend&amp;nbsp; found on the internet a Dutch couple where you could book a sailing holiday in Greece. To get there, they had to book a plane ticket. They did not want to spend too much money and booked the cheapest flight they could find, from airport Cologne/Bonn to Athens. But they did not notice that Cologne (Köln) is a long way from here, a 2.5 to 3 hours drive. DH and I left at 19.00 to the airport Cologne and at 01.30 am we could crawl into our bed. We were glad that the girls were back, healthy, happy and brown, but we were very tired. The next morning DH en I had to get up early, because we had to go to work. It took us a few days to get over this short night sleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Om terug te komen op de titel van dit blogbericht....&amp;nbsp; ik ben er toch in geslaagd deze week een blok van de Aunt Millies Garden Quilt af te maken. En als je dan weer in die flow zit, wil je snel verder, dus heb ik ook al een begin gemaakt met het volgende blok.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THFjF83e-qI/AAAAAAAABEA/_KTdc3mtsmM/s1600/2010-08-22+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THFjF83e-qI/AAAAAAAABEA/_KTdc3mtsmM/s400/2010-08-22+002.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;To return&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;  to the title of this blog post ... This week I have managed to finish  making another block of Aunt Millies Garden Quilt. And when you get into  that flow, you want to continue, so I have&amp;nbsp; started to prepare the next  block.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THFjVBzdICI/AAAAAAAABEI/RXBtSxN0jwc/s1600/2010-08-22+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/THFjVBzdICI/AAAAAAAABEI/RXBtSxN0jwc/s400/2010-08-22+008.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;prep the next block&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Nu ga ik lekker op de bank zitten met een mooi boek. Extreem Luid &amp;amp; Ongelooflijk Dichtbij van &lt;a href="http://www.jonathansafranfoer.nl/"&gt;Jonathan Safran Foer&lt;/a&gt;. Voordat de vakantie begon, was ik er al in begonnen, maar toen moest het terug naar de bibliotheek&lt;i&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;Nu ontdekte ik dat komende donderdag alweer de volgende bijeenkomst mijn leesclub is. Ik hoop maar dat ik het boek op tijd uit heb!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now I am going to sit on the couch with a good book. Extremely Loud &amp;amp; Incredibly Close by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Safran_Foer"&gt;Jonathan Safran Foer&lt;/a&gt;. Before the holidays began, I started reading, but then I had to return the book to the library. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I discovered that next Thursday is the next meeting of my bookclub.&amp;nbsp; I hope I have finished reading the book on time!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/174/194DD2E5219892D91AAA317679448508.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0pt none ! important;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;PS:&amp;nbsp; I do my best to translate my text in good English.

I'm back!</title><content type='html'>Ik ben er weer hoor. We zijn bijna de hele maand juli met het hele gezin op vakantie geweest. Wij gaan 's zomers altijd kamperen en het inpakken en naderhand alles weer opruimen vergt meestal geruime tijd en inspanning. Inmiddels zijn we al weer 2 weken thuis en is het nu dus de hoogste tijd om weer eens wat&amp;nbsp; te laten zien. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;I am back again. Almost the entire month of July we were on&amp;nbsp; summer vacation. We always go camping and the packing of all the stuff and the cleaning up afterwards usually requires considerable time and effort. We are already two weeks at home now and it is time to write a new blogpost.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hebben onze vakantie doorgebracht op het Franse eiland &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsica"&gt;Corsica&lt;/a&gt;, door de Fransen ook wel genoemd " l'ile de beauté" oftewel het mooiste eiland. Dat het daar mooi is wisten we al, want 7 jaar geleden zijn we er ook al geweest. Omdat we het zo mooi vonden, zeiden we toen tegen elkaar, 'als we 25 jaar getrouwd zijn, gaan we weer'. Dat was dus dit jaar. Gelukkig wilde onze oudste dochter (bijna 19) dit jaar ook nog met ons mee op vakantie. Grote kans dat dit de laatste zomervakantie met het hele gezin was! Het was dus eigenlijk in meerdere opzichten voor ons een bijzondere vakantie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We have spent our vacation on the French island of &lt;a href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsica"&gt;Corsica&lt;/a&gt;, by the French also called " l' ile de beauté " aka the most beautiful island. We already knew that it is a beautiful island, because 7 years ago we also spent our vacation on Corsica. Because we liked it so much, we said to each other "when we are married 25 years, we will go again". And so we did. Luckily our oldest daughter (almost 19)&amp;nbsp; wanted to go with us on holiday. It is very likely that this was the last summer vacation with the whole family! So it was really in many ways a special holiday for us .&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TGPXZo0fhiI/AAAAAAAABC8/HTEj-fwqOxE/s1600/2010-08+Corsica+01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="280" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TGPXZo0fhiI/AAAAAAAABC8/HTEj-fwqOxE/s400/2010-08+Corsica+01.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Er komen steeds meer toeristen naar Corsica maar op de stranden is het nog steeds niet druk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;More and more tourists are coming to Corsica, but the beaches are still not crowded. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TGPX2fuUOFI/AAAAAAAABDE/MAZYBAi0oeE/s1600/2010-08+Corsica+021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="280" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TGPX2fuUOFI/AAAAAAAABDE/MAZYBAi0oeE/s400/2010-08+Corsica+021.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;En nog maar een stel foto's.... ik kan niet kiezen..... als je op de foto's klikt, worden ze groter weergegeven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Just a few more photo's .... I can not choose ..... if you click on the photos , they appear larger.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TGPrbJA8j8I/AAAAAAAABDM/NSGAE_DbNsE/s1600/2010-08+Corsica+022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="281" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TGPrbJA8j8I/AAAAAAAABDM/NSGAE_DbNsE/s400/2010-08+Corsica+022.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We zijn ook op een 'zwart strand' geweest, zie foto linksboven, dat was heel apart. Niet echt zwart natuurlijk, maar allemaal donker grijs-groene kiezels. Op de nationale feestdag op 14 juli konden we vanaf het campingterrein het vuurwerk boven Propriano&amp;nbsp; goed zien.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;We were also on a 'black beach', pictured left, that was very special. It was not really black, but the pebbles were dark green-gray. On the national holiday on July 14, we had an excellent view at the fireworks over Propriano from the campsite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TGPuTtopQuI/AAAAAAAABDU/hb8k1hiBWpI/s1600/2010-07+vakantie+Corsica+097.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="322" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xKvHTVfG-KA/TGPuTtopQuI/AAAAAAAABDU/hb8k1hiBWpI/s400/2010-07+vakantie+Corsica+097.JPG" style="clear: both; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Het was bijna de hele vakantie heel erg warm. Ik heb dan ook weinig naald en draad in handen gehad. Dit heb ik gemaakt, de huidige rage in quiltblogland, hexagons. Deze hexjes zijn 1 inch. Ik had ook nog malletjes van 1/2 inch, maar die zijn niet uit de verpakking gekomen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="
