'Foep' (birds and cats) quilt update



 My second Foep (birds and cats) quilt update. The first Foep post was here.

I made some changes and added lace in some places.

 Lots of lace on the brown border to tone down the brown.

 And other trim as well.

 Ric rac trim in the right yellow/mustard colour and old French trim.

For the outside borders I made crazy blocks and used lots of scraps including this thrift shop embroidery.







 This border with the crazy blocks on the left still needs quilting. I made the quilt 'as you go'. This means when I'm done sewing the borders I finished it all. I hope to be able to show the end result soon!

And finally meet Oscar at this blog. He is our new dog friend who came to live with us, after his former owners couldn't take are of him anymore. He made friends with us and our little dachshund Lizzy, so all is well.

Foep quilt

Today I started a new quilt called: 'Foep en 't vogelhoedje'. It is a quilt with a story about cats and birds. The pattern is by: Supergoof and easy to order, look at her blog on the top-right corner.

In November I joined a workshop given by Ingrid van der Harst (Supergoof. The location that day was Quiltshop Vlijtig Liesje at Tienhoven (the Netherlands). I visited this shop for the first time and will certainly go again. It is a really fun shop in her beautiful garden, run by a nice lady called Hanneke Kwakkenbos.

 It is fun to make!


 It took some time until I found the right fabrics, but eventually I did....and what a mess I made....

Lizzy (our dachshund) doesn't mind, as long as we are together.

Wish you a good last week of the year!
