My pride and joy

Need I say more? These handsome ones can make me smile any time. My Alexander has a motorcycle weekend each year and he rents a bike. The boys think this really cool. They always want to sit on the parked bike to make some cool pictures. Look at my smallest, he is looking at his daddy in awe! So cute!

So that being said about my joy, onto the joy block of the sugar block club. This is the fifth block we made. I am still very fond of the choice of colors and fabrics for this quilt; auqua's, lilacs, greens, geys and lots of simple white, based on the little bundle I had. This block was paperpieced and compared to the size of the farmers wife blocks, easy peasy!

economy blocks

Inspired by the dutch economy I am happily and constantly working on my own economy (block quilt). When cutting in to some fabric for something else, I always lay aside a center or some small or bigger triangles in a zip loc bag. So whenever I feel like it, I can sew some blocks together. Since I usually have an hour or so to spare to sew, a few economy blocks, from already cut fabric, are always an easy option if I have no other inspiration, or my other projects overwhelm me. These are the results of some of these snatched hours, working on my economy. They will make a lovely bold and colorful quilt in the end I think, no deadlines, no pressure, just little beautiful blocks, just for me.

Bzzzz- Bee block update: Ladies, all the ladies....

The weather was nice, work and family were busy, so I guess not so much sewing and blogging the last weeks. But Nicolette has already chosen her block for the june round of the comfort circle and that was something to give me some fast and instant sewing satisfaction. The block is called ladies aid and you can find a tutorial on her blog here. She asked for muted colors...I seem to have lots of vibrant colors and not so many muted ones, but I found some lovely combo's.This will give some lovely secondary patterns when put together I think! Nice choice Noicolette!
