No patchwork

Our monthly
Bee of the Lachende Bijtjes this time coincided with the General Exhibition of the Dutch quiltersguild. At times some of our members have other obligations, so therefore only Marjolein and Petra and me went to Deventer. The exhibition was held at the Grote Kerk, indeed across the IJssel.

August
the month when the nights are already drawing in, is a nice month. It can be warm still, and nature finds itself between coming and going. Leaves are starting to fall and brambleberries are ripening. Figs and chestnut are doing their utmost in the neighebours’ garden. Apart from wasps I am quite fond of August. […]

Like Mother Swan
and her ducklings share the cool water with a seagull, -who then dust and shakes and takes off-, the sunflowers that share a pot, I don’t mind sharing at all. Except ofcourse sharing my supper with a wasp, that I do mind 😀 I still need to make some adjustments to the pictures, but all […]
