my playground







































I like to let you see the inspiration for my quilt play ground
the first thing I was thinking on when we got the challange was the way were playing as children
there were many little ditches around the school , the last picture was my school , long gone ,,,
now there is a road and new houses no more play ground for children .
in summer we played in the fields fild with flowers and in the winter we did ice skating and played in the snow .
The head master always told us to see the beauty of the nature and it was beautiful at that time
nature is gone there no more flowers ,,, o yes there are nice gardens with flowers but it is not the same .
so that was my inspiration for the quilt .

al memories .

embroidery


I find embroidery a wonderful way to get my mind at rest
every day I stitch some little stitches
some days many stitches as today
and there are always new ideas in my head
for the C&G course I have to think about a container to make
I just have to get the idea and in the next modle I must make it so now my head is spinning with al kind of ideas
I have to sit down and make notes and drawings
but first some little stitches
