This weekend is entirely to relax. I sorted out photos on my computer and decided which of them are worth keeping. I have also found the graffiti ones I was looking for some time:

Next week is patchwork and quilting week! Thanks for stopping, Barbora
Instead of writing a new post about my patchwork and quilting adventures, I decided to upload some photos I have taken over the past few days.
Impressions of a foggy morning when walking the dog:
Spiders webs are waiting early in the morning for the sun to dry the dew drops :
This is what we saw today evening whilst sitting on the terrace and enjoying a nice salad for diner :
My niece Andrea accompanied me to the dog training center and she has taken these photos :

It’s done : Fire & Ice quilt is finally finished! I have “cheated” a bit with the quilting. The last few quilts were in free-motion technique. So this time I decided to work with the walking foot. The wave or serpentine is a standard stitch on the Bernina 440. Never tried before, but I have seen some quilts with this finishing and I thought this would break the strict geometrical pattern.
The finished size is 60″ x 84″. I just love the blue tulips backing fabric from Fabric Freedom.
Happy quilting, Barbora
My work life is still a bit hectic, with more appointments as usual, so patchwork is on a hold. But I finally got to start the Skill Builder BOM blocks. I have pieced the first 6 blocks, haven’t decided yet on the quilting design. I suppose there is no hurry. Got the backing fabric – a wonderful flowery design in a rich orange, wadding is waiting on the shelf. Wednesday is a public holiday, so I shall have time for quilting.
Fire and Ice quilt top has sat in the cupboard for a few months. Since it has rained for a few days (very unusual for this time of year), I got it out and made a quilt sandwich. Once more this top has a floral backing fabric – with tulips.
Lots to quilt – my days will be “quilty” busy, looking forward to that.
Thanks for visiting, have a nice week, Barbora
