Kladblogdag

Yesterday was the second time I went to the 'kladblog' day. A meet and greet day of miniaturist here in the Netherlands. Since I got a ride from some friends, I had to leave early and missed the workshop Lisette gave, which was a pity since she made a beautiful table.
A lot of people made small gifts for the others so it was a little bit like a gift bonanza!

The gifts varied from material to knitware, the little clown is knitted, and everything is beautiful!
Several people brought some of their work, and every time I enjoy looking at all the details. Some things are familiar because I had seen pictures on the blog but seeing it for real is always better.
And this was not all, Wil gave some wood and fineer and I entered a workshop swap and went home with 12 small workshop packets which I can make at home. So I know what to do the coming time.
Just a great day!

little quilt inside the shop

When I made the shop "Steekje los" ready for transport last week I noticed that I didn't have quilts inside the shop. There isn't space to hang them. So I took one of the smaller quilts from the quilt exhibition and a towelrack from one of the houses and put it in the shop. It looks good, so for the time being I will leave it like this. Now I have some space in the exhibition for a new quilt. The only problem is what kind of quilt to make... I like so many and have started to make a quilt in 1:1 scale, but I will think of something.

Making birthday gifts

For two of my miniature friends I made some birthday gifts. Of course I forgot to take pictures but luckily one of my friends made pictures.

One friend wanted some fruit, so I made banans, apples, oranges and grapes.

My other friend has a shop filled with angels. So I made this little angel, she can make a pillow or place it on the wall (embroidery on 16 treads per cm).

Nieuwe quilt New quilt

In het weekend het ik een klein quiltje afgemaakt. Het is gemaakt van kleine stukjes stof die over waren nadat mijn moeder een grote quilt had gemaakt. Het is een kleurige quilt geworden geïnspireerd door de quilts van Kaffe Fassett.  

During the weekend I finished a small quilt that I made some time ago. It is made from small pieces of fabric, left overs from a 1:1 quilt my mother made. It is very colorfull, inspired by quilts designed by Kaffe Fassett.

Op het moment hangt het quiltje in een kleine scene, maar of het hier blijft weet ik nog niet.
At the moment it hangs in a small scene... but I'm not sure if it will stay here.

Deze scene en twee anderen waren te zien bij het "Open huis" van de quiltwinkel "De Frottende Freule"

This scene and 2 others together with one of my shops were displayed at the "Open house" of a quiltshop called the Frottende Freule in Schildwolde in the north of The Netherlands.

Large containers for flowers

Yesterday I made some large containers for flowers. They are about 6 cm high, so really big pots. I want to fill them and put them next to the door of a shop. One of the containers I damaged so I can make a little home for a mouse in the bottom. It was a project in the dutch magazine Dolls House Nederland issue 79. Now just make the flowers, probably Hortensia.
