A lot to show ....

There's a lot to show. We went on vacation, two whole weeks, and that means lots of stitching/knitting time.
Mystery #28 is finished. The name I've given it is Lucy in the Sky.

 

I finished the top of A Whimsical Christmas. This quilt is composed by the monthly ornaments of LHN, stitched last year.

 

The second part of Many Years Ago is finished. 

Mary Wigham has progress. And that is very special, because I only can stitch on her on bright summerdays. Outside.

Another shawl is casted on, Gail. Or, my version: NightinGail.

 

Together with a dear friend I sewed a jacket.

 

And there is progress on the Fair Isle Shawl, Red Wine. 

And during all this I enjoyed my vacation, seeing lots of Bonn, Cologne and the beautiful area of Westerwald, Germany.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's been two weeks already....

We went on vacation last week and I couldn't find the time to blog before we left. So now I have a lot to show. There are three finishes of LHN Ornaments 2010. Two blocks of My Tweets done, a start on block two of the village of HRH. And a precious gift to show. And for those of you who like to see pictures of our vacation, I'll put some at the end of this post.

About a week ago I visited my friend Christine. We met each other on the internet and found out we get along very well. Last year I went to Breda, where she lives, and this summer we wanted to meet again. She had a surprise for me, a cute little bear (Christine makes beautiful bears!). It's one of a couple, the other half lives at Christine's place. I decided to name her Filia (Greek for friendship).

On our holiday trip we went to Brugge (Belgium). As I like to stitch when we are on the road I prepared the last two blocks of My Tweets. I managed to do one on our way to Brugge, the other one on our way home. Block six ...

...and seven

Three of the LHN ornaments are done. He's a Flake:

Frosty Flakes:

Joy to the World:

When I put them together into a quilt they will look something like this.

At the time I had to decide what I would bring as a stitching project I thought it might be time to finish some blocks of the Village of Haswk Run Hollow. Block one was done quite some time ago, so I started to stitch block two. So far, so good.

Brugge has very nice little streets, canals, and of course, bridges.

During our stay at Brugge we also visited Gent and Brussel.

Courthouse Brussel

Next week DH and I go on another short trip, to Limburg, but this time just the two of us.
