Jonas just celebrated his 18th birthday and Ben's sixth birthday is today. Guess which sport is their favorite? Thinking of Beckham's hair cut... Exactly, it's soccer!
Jonas is such a talented soccer player and he often plays with his little brother. So Ben has also learned a lot of tricks. It's such a pleasure to watch them playing together.

Garden's green log cabin

The green of my yesterday's gardening inspired me for a log cabin

Gardening

Did I ever mention that green is my favorite color? I've spent a day in our garden, arranging a couple of new pots filled with pink flowers. Smelling the grass is wonderful.

Cushion for my daughter

Kissen für Nele und Finn, ursprünglich hochgeladen von Britsch2008

My daughter moved to Kiel where she got to knew a new boyfriend. The both have their first own flat and are very happy and also proud of.
So for a little gift I gave them this "Nele and Finn" couple cushion

Hidden Spools

Ein Viertel der Blöcke ist zusammengesetzt, ursprünglich hochgeladen von Britsch2008

A couple of month ago I posted a color exercise using "hidden spools" as blocks.
Now you can see a realisation of this exercise.

My daughter left her hometown to go for studies to Kiel and I told her that in US kids leaving for college usually get a quilt for their new next life step. So she enthusiastically wondered: "Does that mean you will sew me a quilt for my own?"

And yes, exactly my dear, you are absolutely right.
This is the quilt I made for her.

Log Cabin

Meeting and getting to know Nettie here on the blogs created some interesting things: a common project and a trip to Hamburg :-)
We easily came together to work on a swap log cabin project

These are the strips we cut

and here are some of the blocks

In detail

The last one is my favourite, I call it "Hamburger" cause it's made all from fabrics I've got when I visited Nettie

Some red dots

Making a little gift for my brother’s new home to bring with me I sewed this red dotted little cushion. Although all is machine sewed with the new Bernina, the dots look a little bit like hand appliquéd and hand quilted.
