Quilt in Progress

my first quilt turned out quite large ~ to say the least

it almost fits a kingsize bed


I am working on the actual quilting now

machine quilting, piecing the top, batting and back together


I love to see this quilt getting closer to being finished every day

and I am looking forward to lying under it once it is finished

~ smile ~

wishing you a great week ahead and if you celebrate Happy Halloween

    Hi Maaike!
    Volgens mij heb ik iets verkeerds gedaan....ik had dus iets geschreven bij je vorige post, maar kennelijk heb ik niet op verzenden gedrukt want ik zie niets...afijn, nogmaals, ik zie dat je crea bea bent, goed zo! (wanneer kan ik mijn quilt bestellen?) het ziet er profi uit hoor, keep it up! enne, thnanks, alle verjaardagen waren erg leuk, meiden weer blij, veel roze spullen erbij, nu nog een slaapfeestje dit weekend en dan is het echt klaar.
    new york zag er ook leuk uit trouwens, maar wat ik zo zie is canada ook echt leuk; geniet van je nieuwe leven meid, wie weet wat er nog meer uit die koker van je komt, ik vind het echt knap hoor! nou, nog ff een bakkie (lekker op z'n amsterdams) en dan oogjes dicht en snaveltjes toe xxxx Maureen

    You blow me away! Really! Did you make that? Talk about not being shy. Your FIRST quilt... I wonder how your second quilt will turn out then... It is fantastic!

    Hi Maaike! Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL! I really love the muted, neutral colour scheme! And those look like some complex blocks for a first quilt!

    I checked out the Oakville Sewing Centre's website after we spoke on Friday. I saw that they have a "No Quilt for Sissies" class in the new year that I'd love to take. We'll see...

    Hope you enjoy your first Christmas in Canada and I hope to run into you again in the new year!
