Happy


DD3 with her new quilt. She just came home from a few days away and found it on her bed.


And what I'm doing since my quilt is finished. 
I ordered batting for the next quilt I want to baste 
and while waiting in I'm knitting my first socks.

What a wonderful quilt for your daughter.
And knitting socks with such a wonderful yarn is really good, while you are waiting for batting materials.

Wat een leuke foto van je blije dochter met haar mooie quilt.
Wat knap dat je sokken kunt breien, ik dacht dat je nog niet zolang breidde.
Dat het gebreide beertje je eerste breisel was. Dat heb ik zeker mis!

Groetjes,
Evelyne

It looks like she love it! The color palette of the knitting looks like the colors in the quilt. Such happy colors.

That is such a pretty quilt, I bet she was so happy to get it! And I'm sure your socks will be fantastic, I haven't seen you make anything that wasn't wonderful! I love making socks, I hope you do too!

Fantastic photo of DD3 and her quilt!!! Priceless!!

What pattern are you using for your socks? I'm making a pair of spiral tube socks, but the next ones I want to have a heal.

Blessings and hugs!

Such a wonderful surprise for her to come home to! It is such a pretty quilt, I love it. All those wonderful fabrics, all those lovely colors and the scrappy binding! So much inspiration, I love looking at this quilt.
Your knitting work seems to be in the same happy colors, right for this season (hopefully the sun comes back in a few days...).
Hope your daughter had a great time when she was away, we brought ours to the ferry to Terschelling yesterday for a camping week..... hopefully the sun comes back where she is too !

Beautiful quilt for such a pretty young lady. Your quilts are charming and I always enjoy seeing your projects and pictures. Thank you for sharing. I am from Canada and I love feeling connected to quilters from other countries.

Good luck with your first pair of socks. I just finished mine and have to say.. want to knit me some more! But couldn't have done it without the help of the book "Knitty Gritty - The next steps".. Happy knitting! ;o)

Hi Lucy just looked at your blog for the first time, love the quilt you just completed, a memory quilt, I too love scrap quilts they are gorgeous.
The quilt looks lovely on the bed, your daughter must love it.
Thanks for your blog, I don't have one but so appreciate all the effort that bloggers put into sharing their lives.
I live in Brisbane Australia.

Your daughter had to be absolutely thrilled with her quilt. It's as beautiful on the back as it is in the front. I love the yarn you're using on the socks - beautiful colors.
