Mary again ;) and a welcome to all 'my' readers

In spite of a lazy Sunday (there is a flu coming up, I am shivering and coughing, but not yet ill enough to spend the day in bed. So an update on my blog is a good idea, taking some pictures, writing a blogpost.

I noticed there are 200 followers since this week! Thank you for reading my little adventures with needle and thread! I know most bloggers are doing a giveaway to celebrate something like this. I am not. I am a different kind of woman. I like blogging, I like you following me, I am just not into organizing a give-away. But I welcome you dearly :)

Now Mary. She has a grip on me, these  days, so I can show some more progress on her.

And there is another piece that has some progress. I doubt if you have seen it before on my blog. It is my summer stitching, in companion to Mary. Cirque des Carreaux by Ink Circles.

Work has been very busy, so I am strongly in need of relaxing. Did you know, knitting is relaxing? I did, so here is some progress on Red Wine.

And progress on NightInGail. Almost a third done.

Oh, I almost forgot, I have a little progress on quilting too! Autumn colours and the sun rising early, a rather strange combination, but I chose the fabric because of the lovely feathers.

Rise and Shine

Normally I rise and shine with the help of DH. No cocks and hens are around, so the alarmclock does the job. DH listens to the alarmclock and I, as a good wife, listen to DH LOL.
In spite of that I really liked Rise and Shine, a stitchery by Lynette Anderson. I finished it today as a hanging quilt. If you look closely you can see I still have to sandwich and quilt and, in the end, add a border.

My stitching also has some progress. There's a townhall rising in Hawk Run Hollow.

And in Vibrant Vista some wheat is appearing outside the window of the barn.

Autumn

Autumn is here with sunny days. It seems those sunny days we missed during last summer are coming now. Trees are already colouring and they made me long for Vibrant Vista. So this is what I've been stitching last weeks. The first picture is how it was back in February, the second is how it is now.

There's also a little stitchery done. Lynette Anderson's 'Rise and Shine' is finished, but of course I have to add some coordinating fabric to make it into a hanging quilt. I already know the fabrics I'm going to use, now find some time to do so!
