I did however photograph the other two quilts that I finished in September! but that will wait for the next post… So this one… made entirely from vintage sheets. Well, almost entirely. [...]

BB quilt and some pattern drafting

What have I been up to since I finished the Windmolen quilt? Couple of things… Firts, I made another quilt top using linen, repurposed sheets (not vintage), and some stash fabrics. This is the first time I tried the big blocks, kind-of random sized. I cal it the BB quilt, or my shabby chic quilt. [...]

Yes… it’s been a while. Since I have been here. And this quilt was finished a while back. It was finished on Friday, and Saturday it was out the door. I had literally 30 seconds to snap a few photos , and – oh, it happens all the time – the pictures did not turn [...]

windmolen quilt – 24 more blocks

I had planned to blog about this quilt as a series – first 6 blocks, next 6 blocks… I actually photographed blocks in groups of 6 (and 12) as I was finishing them. But then… one weekend we went skiing. Then we… this and that… and the other… you know how it all goes. Good [...]

  • It's been probably 10 years since I bought my first orchid. It shriveled and died after blooming. Since then I bough/ was gifted many more. All died. Until this one. I actually do not remember when it bloomed last. But it's been months. I almost forgot about it, and honestly I did not take care of if much. I noticed a few times that it did not dry out yet... The other day I noticed a few buds. And, voila, today we have the first flower. Isn't it beautiful. My second favorite flower. What is my favorite flower?
