These fabrics will be in my next quilt. It will be a small quilt for the exhibition in November at the Frauenzentrale in Winterthur. Small because they don't have the walls for large quilts.

These threads had to wait for me yesterday because yesterday afternoon I have enjoyed my garden and later a friend came over and we sat outside and did some knitting and chatting. We have had a very enjoyable and relaxing afternoon.

Ich quilte am Banner-Quilt für das diesjährige Projekt der EQA. Die Quilts werden am Festival of Quilts in Birmingham zu sehen sein. Jedes der 17 EAQ Länder stellt 10 Banners 15 x 150 cm (6 x 59") aus. Für die Quilts aus der Schweiz wird die Farbe rot eine zentrale Rolle spielen. 75% des Quilts muss die Farbe rot beinhalten.

Now I'm sewing out decorative stitches and at the same time also trying out different threads. And sometimes these threads are driving me crazy when they don't do what I want them to do!

Diese Gutscheinkarte bekommt morgen mein Mann zu seinem 50. Geburtstag. Er beklagt sich schon lange, dass er keinen eigenen Quilt hat. Natürlich hatte ich keine Zeit ihm einen auf seinen Geburtstag zu machen, aber zumindest erhält er morgen eine Miniatur und einen Gutschein, so kann er sogar noch Wünsche anbringen.
This card I made today for my husbands 50th birthday tomorrow. It is a gift certificate for a quilt. He always complains that he doesn't have a quilt for his own. Of course I didn't have time to sew one for his 50th birthday but at least I made a miniature and a gift certificate, so he even can choose what kind of a quilt he would like.

This morning I have been at the dentist. No, I didn't repair may teeth! I have been asked if I would like to show my quilts in the rooms of the dentist. Sure I had to accept this offer and so this morning at really warm temperatures I did hang up 31 quilts (big and small ones). On Saturday 5th September and on 10th October I'll have there an open day where you can come and see the whole exhibitions also the ones in the treatment rooms.
