It´s been a
while since I couldn´t sit behind my sewing machine. In the last four weeks our
old double windows were being renovated and that included also the window in
the bedroom, next which my sewing corner is placed. Everything had to be removed
because of dust and pieces of old painting. The fabrics, threads, sewing
machines landed in banana boxes in the back of the house. The furniture was
wrapped in plastic sheets, which was not very encouraging for sitting and doing
any hand work. But we survived, the house is tidied by now, everything is back
on its place and the windows are just beautiful. We were rewarded with a great
week of holiday in Ore Mountains in the west of the Czech Republic. Before
leaving for holiday I use to prepare some hand work to take with me. Usually I prepare
some machine sewn panels and in the evenings I do hand quilting, embroidery
or some other embellishments. This time, there was no time for preparing those
so I had to go through my stash. And voila, the stars of Kamener Geflecht came
on the daylight once again!
I cannot remember when I bought this beautiful
pattern by Regina Grewe, but it´s years ago. One of my oldest UFO´s. A
classical EPP project, I still like it very much. The plan was (and still is)
to make a quilt for myself. About half of the stars are sewn, the
templates and fabric pieces are ready to sew. Could I have a better choice for
this holiday?
The basic fabric is the aged muslin, the pointed pieces of the stars are fabrics by Jinny Beyer.
During the week I added about 20 stars.The colours are so bright and fresh, I just love every piece of fabric by Jinny Beyer.
This project isn´t going to be finished this year and very probably not the next year. But it is stil here, ready to be worked on! I love it.
Have a great summer time!
