A little bit of everything

Every year something new on the tree - a perfectly

sewn fabric star of dear friend Angelika

 

The 4th tree of Mary Corbet‘s 12 Christmas trees

Goodness, how tiny, I should have made spiderweb

flowers, but it was too small for me. So I left it like

this. Find it at NeedlnThread Christmas trees

Making pages for a book - as I am interested in 

bookbinding - but I need something to fill the covers.

I am using stitcheries and things of the past years.

Daugter D. gave me this writing paper with envelopes

many years ago. She printed the leaves and I kept

it and loved it and looked at it many times.

Finally I found that I should bind it into a may-be

book  - here with a machine stitched lace from the 

class of Karen Ruane - with a little crossstitch rose

The back still needs some handling - this future book

can be altered whenever inspiration strikes

What about quilting lines depicting a house - 

in the Black Forest in Germany.

  

Or sewn with thread -

I didn‘t make it - it is the result of my endeavors and

the help of the Superphoto App.

A lovely Christmas gift landed under the real tree

....and I will get seven more of this most wonderful

magazine full of inspiration - a gift that will last two years

and still afterwards - if you want to know more about it.

Now about those scribbles (sorry I am not a talented

designer):

Another dear friend D. mentioned a few days ago

-  not quite in serious -

what it could probably look like if one quilted the never-

ending talk of some people, the flood of words and I

thought speech bubbles connected to one another could 

show best the clouds of words, the gush of words - 

I made a big bubble.....

My advice:

practice it on your machine while keeping your cell phone

jammed between shoulder and ear - the practicing piece

may not be too large because you have to turn it round and round.

If you are in want of some very interesting quilting

ideas you could have a look at 

Gefilte Quilt

you will laugh and love it

Without many more words:

A happy healthy creative new year to you my dear readers.
