Some cross stitching

Het is een tijdje geleden dat ik nog geblogd heb. Ik had er eigenlijk niet zo veel zin in en ook een gebrek aan tijd. Mogelijk ga ik wat meer Instagram gebruiken omdat het toch sneller is om iets te laten zien :-).

It's been a while. I didn't feel like blogging at all. I think I'll be using Instagram more in a near future as it is quicker to share things :-)

Anyway ... Hier is iets waar ik al een dikke maand mee bezig ben maar nog niet heb laten zien: de Summer Mandala van Chatelaine Designs. Deze was het "mysterie" van 2015. Onlangs gezien en direct als een blok voor gevallen.

 Anyway ... I want to show you something on which I've been working for over a month now but didn't share yet : the Summer Mandala from Chatelaine Designs (the 2015 mystery mandala). Saw it recently and fell head over heels for it.

Het eerste deel is goed aan het vorderen ... The first part is getting along well ...

Ik heb wel de NPI zijde en een deel van de metallics vervangen door de gewone DMC. Voor mij hoefde het niet te veel bling bling te zijn. De pareltjes en andere glimmertjes volgen op het laatst als het geborduurde deel af is.

I substituted the NPI silks and part of the metallics with the normal DMC. I didn't need all the bling bling as it would feel too much as an overkill. Beads and other glimmers are kept for last when everything is stitched.

Fijn weekend! Have a nice week-end!

Favourite designers - Renato Parolin and Rovaris

This time we travel to the south of Europe ... Italy being our destination ;-) RENATO PAROLIN I can't remember how I got to know the designs of Renato Parolin (who doesn't have a website nor a blog)... I suppose I've seen some of his designs on fellow stitchers' blogs. His - yes ladies a MALE designer - theme is nature with lots of trees, deer, doves, squirrels, owls, flowers and hearts. Once you've bought one chart, you want them all - trust me! Look at what I've gathered the last two years: And his lovely book which I already wanted to purchase for quite some time. It were her pictures - seen in Becky Bee's Christmas Ornament Challenge 2011 - that drew me over the line :-) I would like to stitch one of his larger designs the coming years namely: La Selva di Ries Il Bosco di Bengtsson La Pineta Di Classe                      Fiabe                             La Natura é Cosa Bella ROVARIS She

First ornament of 2013!

Image
I've finished it yesterday so I guess I'm still good for the 2013 Ornament SAL :-). I'm not completely sure if it's only the stitching that needs to be finished or the entire ornament ... I'll have to check that! So without further delay, here it is: Spring in my Garden Barbara Ana Designs   It was a real joy to stitch but the only thing I didn't like doing were the bees ... very small and fidly :-)   I've also changed the colour of the rabbit, chicken and the bees wings from DMC Desert Sand (colour variation) to 738 (rabbit and chicken) and white (bees wings) ... otherwise they wouldn't show well on the fabric.    In the meantime I've already started the Barbara Ana "Owl-o-ween" design :-)

Long time no see

Well it has been an awfully long time since I last posted here but I switched to Instagram (annsombel) a couple of years back (December 2016 to be exact) as I encountered some problems with posting on Blogspot and I didn't always know what to say. I kept following all of you who also have Instagram profiles but I admit that I'm missing the rest of you so ... I'll be posting here sometimes (let's say once a month or maybe a bit less) to keep you updated :-). Summary of what I've been doing in a nutshell (longish text so skip this if you don't feel like it :-):  Beginning of 2018: Moncarpacho workshop by Willyne Hamerstein (from her Millefiori Quilts 3 book) April 2018: start on "Doing the Rounds" by Thimblestitch - more or less halfway through now 2018: working on "Camelot" by Trish Harper - finished in June 2019 July 2018 - October 2018: SAL 100 Modern Quilt Blocks by Tula Pink (still have to sew all the blocks together but some block changes
