Oh my, such a long time has passed by since my last blog post. And of course a lot of things happened. I finished a lot of quilt projects, learned a lot and spent some time at quilt shows. And I lost the interest in my blog. Maybe it was the lack of time, maybe it was difficult times at my job that ate up all my energy.
But now I am back, I changed some things at my job, and try to get more organized, to find some time during the week to spend with my hobbies: quilting, tatting, and my newest baby, zentangle.
And I want to share my adventures and experiences with you again in my blog.
As a matter of fact I like sewing and quilting more than writing long posts about it. But I try my very best (lol).
I have been playing around a lot with fabrics during my blogging break and I learned a lot.
Let me give you a little retrospect of some of the projects that came to life during the last three years:
A bundle of charm squares of "Comma" by Zen Chic" wanted to be pieced into a table runner and a couple of placemats. I loved very much playing around with the freemotion quilting.
"Happy Cuzco" was a project I enjoyed very much. I used a pattern from the book "Layer Cake, Jelly Roll and Charm Quilts" by Pamela and Nicky Lintott which came together really fast.

Then I immediately fell in love with these beautiful Indian cotton fabrics. And "Indian Spice Market" was born as my favorite summer quilt, because it is so soft and lightweight.

2015 was a very busy year for me. It was the year when my boss retired in summer and I decided to make a farewell quilt for him. Almost all of the colleagues gave a piece of fabric for this project and I made a scrappy Fibonacci quilt. Completely crazy! But Baumi adores his Fibonacci!
Then I made a quilt for the foster child of very close friends of us. I am so happy that the little boy, Thiemo, loves his quilt passionately.
The next one is my star sampler which still is waiting in the quilt frame to be finished. It's only a few stitches left but .... why is there always something more interesting???
And last: M first expedition into the jungle of Flying Geese, lol. I was sooo afraid of Flying Geese, I really can't imagine, why. After I had finished this quilt top, I was hooked to Flying Geese. And I had finished a project on my list. I had wanted to make a quilt entirely of Kaffe Fasset fabrics (check!) and a quilt with Flying Geese (check!).
2015 was also the year of the mug rug challenge of my online quilting community. I fell in love with mug rugs. They are great for practicing new techniques, using up scraps, and make great gifts.

2016 was such a wonderful summer when I finally made the last stitches at my longtime WIP. This quilt makes me very happy. And Fabrizio, my faithful little furry helper, loves all kinds of quilts anyway.
