Week#3
In this warm weather, we spend a lot of our time in the garden, especially in the evening. I work on my cross stitch sampler, until it gets too dark to see the stitching properly.
One of the pleasures of the blogging world, is receiving surprises by the mail. About a month ago, I sent a few scraps to this fellow blogger of ambiance. A week later, I found a letter in the mailbox with these nice scraps of fabric! I will use them for my scrap quilt, for this quilt I use only swapped fabrics.
I bought this book on Amazon UK, I can use the inspiration for making quilts with the fabrics I already have.

A cat's quilt
February is the shortest month of the year, but it always feels like it is lasting for ever and ever and ever...
I am in desperate need of a bit of sunlight, spring flowers, singing birds, etc...
When I look in magazines at pictures like these (from the spring edition of Marie Claire Idées) , I want bright colours in my house and in my garden.
I know I haven't finished a lot of my projects lately, I have a deadline for a job on the 4th of March, but I did it anyway: I started a little quilt for my cats. I've never made a doll-sized quilt before, and it was quite fun, I finished it in only 2 evenings (hand-stitched).
And tonight I want to start quilting it in front of a good movie!
I hope this cute boy will like his quilt.

Preparations for the cold
Washing and drying my quilts before the cold sets in. But I'm still hoping for an Indian summer!

Old things
An old painting I did a few years ago...
...and an old scrap quilt I found in a drawer. Yet another thing unfinished.
