Elephant

That's the quilt I'm working on for the moment. The background is pieced and the elephant is fused. It will be sandwiched now and than by sewing all the small pieces down it will be quilted in the same time.
This elephant is for my daughter Joëlle, she has the decoration in her living room in an african style and has still one empty wall.....

Old... and new

The last two weeks our entrance in the house wasn't very welcoming
The old wallpaper had to be replaced.......

16 years ago when we built our house I designed myself this railing...and I still like it....

Oufff...they finished yesterday....after rearranging the furniture all I have to do is to hang my quilts..... :-)

MIA

Joëlle's border-collie MIA arrived save in Luxembourg after a horrible trip back in a storm....
a 10,5 hour ride....brrrr!
She's soooo sweet!

Preemie-quilts

That's my work of the last few days....preemie-quilts.
I'm a member of a german-speaking yahoo-group and we are sewing little quilts for newborns under 1500 gr.
This quilts are given to preemie-stations in german and austrian hospitals to warm the little ones and to
comfort the parents in this hard times.

Diesmal auch in Deutsch: ich bin Mitglied der Preemie-Quilter, einer deutschsprachigen yahoo-Gruppe die kleine Quilts näht die dann zu Sammelstellen geschickt werden und in Frühgeborenenstationen in Krankenhäusern verteilt werden. Zum einem um die Frühchen zu wärmen, zum anderen um die Eltern in dieser schweren Zeit zu trösten.
Wenn du Lust hast bei dieser Aktion mitzumachen (jeder einzelne Quilt ist sehr willkommen), dann melde dich bei den Preemie-Quiltern
an. Es besteht keine Verpflichtung regelmässig Quiltchen zu nähen, nur so viele wie man Lust und Zeit hat.
Vielen Dank!

Border collie puppy Mia

This little beauty has now 7 weeks and will come to Luxembourg the next week end.
My daughter Joëlle found Mia (female) in Germany and next Saturday she will have 8 weeks and old enough to come to her new home.
We start the trip to Frankfurt/Oder ( an 8 hour drive from Luxembourg) on saturday and will come back on Sunday.
We hope that the weather will be fine, hopefully no snow!

New curtains

My bathroom window got new curtains, on every side three appliquéd trees in pots....
