Camaraderie and Quilting

Wow! What a fabulous way to end the month of January and celebrate a whole pile of friendship. Fourteen ladies trickled into the shop yesterday for the first Patchwork & Quilting BEE of the year. 
We laughed and stitched the entire day away.

I even managed to snap a few pictures.

Stunning isn't it? The combination of Silk and Kaffe Fasset never disappoints!

You might recognize this! Antoinette did a lovely job of interpreting my free pattern.
Eveline's gorgeous Oma Lena block
Eveline is busy with our original Oma Lena BOM ... aren't her colors fascinating?
Bernadette's Blue Hexagon Flowers
Bernadette had a new project with her today ... I can't wait to see what comes next ...
Proof that the sun was shining!
Proof that the sun was shining and they were still able to concentrate and chat and nibble.
All in all I couldn't have asked for a better way to kick of a year of quilting bees. Sad to see that the month of January is already over but excited about February - we're celebrating two years of the shop in Kalken! Stay tuned - that means a sale and special events!

Patchwork in my "Garden"

It turned out to be a lovely day inside and we welcomed so many warm, smiling faces that it made my day!

Yes it rained, after the driest April, May, June in years ... it's been pouring here for the last few days. But nobody is complaining and our gardens are loving it.

Contingency plans for our "Garden Party" were easy and everything just moved indoors.  Luckily we have experience as 3 out of the last 5 years the weather has not cooperated.


To see details of these and more photos, click here.

My many, many thanks goes to Annie for taking so many photos during the show and tell!  But Annie, next time you're here we have to take pics of your wonderful grandmother's flower garden, it is truly breathtaking.

Thank you so much to everyone who came, it was truly a wonderful and "gezellig" day that I enjoyed very much.  I apologize that we don't have a photo of everyone ... I have more but didn't think you would like if I posted them on-line ... eyes closed, talking mouths, etc etc.  But I have many pictures in my mind and won't forget the fun we had! Pin It Now!
