Happy Halloween!

Töchterlein ist ja für ein paar Tage zuhause :-)) und hat derweil auch für die Halloween-Dekoration gesorgt.

DD ist at home for a few days :-)) and took care of the Halloween decoration.

Ich hab mich des Abfalls angenommen und geröstete Kürbiskerne gemacht! Sehr lecker :-)

I've been taking care of the leavings and made roasted pumpkin seeds - yummy! :-)

 Und hier das Endergebnis:

And here is the result:

 

HAPPY

HALLOWEEN!

Bloggers' Quilt Festival

It's time again for the Bloggers' Quilt Festival hosted by Amy of Amy's Creative Side. Here is one of my favorite quilts that I want to show you again on this occasion. I made it for my daughter Linda for her 18th birthday as a remembrance of all the trips we made during her childhood and adolescence, travelling through the Western States of the USA with an RV, visiting National Parks and Rodeos and Indian places and festivals.... So the Kokopelli fabric and those of the "Treasures of the Southwest" collection seemed very appropriate. I am happy to say that she loves the quilt and is using it frequently.

Be sure to check out all the other quilts shown at Amy's Quilt Festival!

Herbstdeko

Schaut mal, was eine liebe Freundin für mich gemacht hat! Ist dieser Hortensienkranz nicht wunderschön?

Have a look at this wreath of Hydrangeas that a dear friend has made for me! Isn't it beautiful?

English-German Challenge

Ich habe mich vor einer Weile bei der Ausschreibung der deutschen Patchwork-Gilde "Ein Quilt aus meinen Stoffvorräten" angemeldet. Dabei sollte man 4-6 Stoffstücke einschicken und bekam dann welche von einer Quilterin aus England zurück, mit denen man nun einen 40x80cm großen Quilt anfertigen soll. Leider bekam ich aus England Weihnachtsstoffe, mit denen ich so gar nichts anfangen kann. Lange hab ich überlegt, wie ich diese Stoffe verwenden soll und versuche nun, das Beste daraus zu machen.

A while ago I subscribed to a challenge of the German Patchwork Guild called "Stash Quilts". You were supposed to send in 4-6 pieces of fabric and in exchange received several fabrics from an English quilter that have to be used for a quilt of 40x80 cm. Unfortunately I received Christmas fabrics, so that's a real challenge for me to make a quilt from those. I've been pondering quite a while what to do with them and now I am trying to make the best of it.

Jutta, Eva und Manu - herzlich willkommen und viel Spaß auf meinem Blog!

Welcome, Kelli, and have fun visiting my blog!
