I can’t wait for the day to come, when I can play with them in combination with my sewing machine.

In one of those magazines I fell in love with some stitchery motifs. To go along with them I popped by Signes provisional shop at the NQT (need to think to remember the shops name). There I found the lovely hand dyed embroidery yarn I was looking for. I purchased the last bundle of pink thread.<br />After stitching these 6 lovely motives there were only 25 centimeters left from the bundle. That makes me a lucky and happy girl. It would have been so annoying to run out of threads so close to my goal.</div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347642216400369218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaKeENCNlUkJE_LBeTLMolEjYTcshti0akhidhaZtu3HWo867pqp5NNg7nYTf6l967iKGC9FondP3TnQNfFConaKeRyA4u04ssQvVg9Vupg3__3Igne2Vu0XR9zjVDfgPjL-lMBg/s400/S5002117.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div align="center"><br />Now these cute pieces of handcraft are being implemented in the girly baby quilt, which is growing and growing.<br />Next time I find a spear moment to blog, ......I might have a finish to present.
