April blocks are ready

Dear Girls,

How are you doing?
I have to admit it is only now that I found the true colour scheme I feel ok and "home".  I am much-much happier with the April blocks!:-) I chose these tones for March, too, and I will remake the February blocks as soon as possible:-)

My home is fifty shades of white, I was longing to put some white in my Natures Journey, too:-)

I had also put some lace onto the big dragonfly's upper wing, tiny eyes for the tiny bees and stuffed the petals of the big flowers to pop them out.  

I wish you beautiful Sunday afternoon!:-)
Big hugs,

February Part Completed

Good afternoon,

how are you doing?  It is freezing cold in my country, so it feels great and humble to sit home and sew this lovely quilt of Anni.   I had finished Part One while watching some tv shows in the background on youtube:-)

Have a nice evening!

Hugs,

Fabric ideas for 2015 SAL

Hello Girls,


These new fabrics came home with me the other day, they are competing for the winning circle of fabrics for the SAL:-)  I did not find enough very light blue fabrics, so I may change the whole concept of colours, I will see, first I will combine these newcomers with my 'old' stash:-)

 I signed up for a skill-building Craftsy class about free-form techniques with the gorgeous Cindy Needham:

My pattern is traveling now with the holy post, I hope it will arrive in a week or so!:-)

Have a nice evening!

Introduction from Hungary

Dear Ladies,

This is my first post here and my first SAL with Chookyblue and Susan!

My name is Maja, I am from Budapest, capital of Hungary, Mid-Eastern Europe.  I have been around this SAL blog for years, but never arrived in time to be able to sign up, but this new year's eve, I kept my wand at the ready;-)

I am a cross stitch designer, I blog at www.thesnowflowerdiaries.blogspot.hu  I began this guilty pleasure only in 2011, but I have been sewing since childhood, I am also addicted to fabrics, threads, scissors and buttons, chocolate and hooked nosed Severus Snape:-)  

I have three small children I love very much and a law office.

I would not dare to risk the feeling of Chookyblue's whip on my poor back months before the bikini season hits Europe, so I had finished the homework for January, stitching the free pattern from Anni Downs with good, old DMC am sewing a wallhanging.

I love Anni's works and style, I am so happy to be here with you!:-) I had ordered my pattern and going to a secret fabric hunt on Tuesday, woohoo:-)

Greetings from Hungary,

Maja
