Poppies and Klosjes...

This time of year is special here in Denmark...the beautiful scarlet poppies are blooming in the fields. 

The pictures just don't do them justice.  You almost have to experience this beauty in person.

This is my second batch of Klosjes.  They're made with three different fabrics.  I liked the look of the "thread" being a different colour than the "spools"!

And here on the left is Brenda Papadakis' June Block of the Month.  I couldn't resist making a little matching Klosje-Kousin to go along with it!  If you're interested in making Brenda's free BOM's, please check out the Dear Jane website for more information.

Well, that's all for now!  Take care and enjoy your weekend!

Hope you're having lovely weather like we are here in Denmark!

All the best!

Dear Jane BOM's....

Brenda Papadakis has designed some great blocks for the 2010 Block of the Month series and you can find them as free downloads on the Dear Jane website!  Here are the January and February blocks I've just completed.  You can either choose the pieced versions, as I've done here, or you can do the beautiful appliqué blocks that Brenda has  also graciously made available!  Check them out! 

I've challenged our little Dear Jane group here in Denmark to sew these great BOM's along with me!  I'll post their lovely blocks as they become available!! 

 

Well, we still have a bit of snow, but not as much as when this picture was taken in February!  Here, I'm sporting my cozy woolen knee-highs, knitted up in yummy lavender sock yarn!
They are SO warm that I want to wear them all of the time!

Thanks for stopping by!
