Weiter geht es mit Bildern von unserer Reise nach England:
More pictures from our trip to England:
Natürlich musste ich auch einen englischen Garten sehen und wir hatten Glück, bei unserem Besuch in Warwick hatte der Mills Garden die Pforten geöffnet. Ein richtig schöner, romantischer Garten!

Of course I also had to see a typical english garden and we had luck. At our visit to Warwick the Mill Garden had open and we visited. A really wonderful romantic garden!

Here the birthplace of Shakespeare which of course we also visited.

Tea time mit clutted cream, scones and strawberry jam! Was braucht man noch mehr?! Wusstest Du, dass man zuerst die Erdbeerconfiture auf die Scones gibt und erst dann die clutted cream? Es schmeckt wirklich anders aber soooo guuuut, mmmhhh.

Tea time with clutted cream, scones and strawberry jam! What else do we need more?! And did you know that you have to put first the strawberry jam on the scones and afterwards the clutted cream? It really tastes different and soooooo goood, yummy.

Ich werde dann in den nächsten Tagen noch ein paar Bilder von unserer Reise nach Birmingham einstellen. Heute aber zeige ich euch einen Quilt aus dem Jahr 2007. Es freut mich, dass dieser Quilt nicht nur mir gefallen hat, sondern auch einer Patientin beim Zahnarzt, wo zur Zeit meine Quilts ausgestellt sind. Gestern dann habe ich ihn verkauft und er hat nun ein neues zu Hause.
In the following days I sure will post some more pictures of our travel to Birmingham. Today I'll show you a quilt I made back in 2007. I'm glad that a patient from my dentist, where I am having a small quilt show with my work, liked it so much that she bought it. Yesterday it found a new home.

This is the view out of the window where my sewing machine is. In the same room there is also the computer as well as our bedroom. Karen is showin in her blog the views of her blog readers. I find it quite interesting to see what environment they are living in.
So it looked at my working space yesterday eveing at the room in the "Chileträff". We the Neftiquilter had our monthly sewing evening. Short after starting sewing my sewing machine started smoking and smelled terribly. It is my oldest machine but it was so handy to bring with me for sewing outside my home. Of course I drove home with the bycicle to bring the next sewing machine to the meeting so I was able to do some sewing!

Bei dieser Hitze habe ich mich gestern wieder einmal an das Entwirren von selbstgefärbten Garn gemacht. Warum ich so ein "Gnusch" habe? Ich wollte wiedereinmal Zeit sparen und habe die gefärbten Garne in der Waschmaschine statt im Lavabo ausgewaschen!!!
While the heat still lasts I'll try to wind my selfdyed yarn nicely. Why it was such a mess? Well, I had the good idea to be fast and wash them out in the waschingmachine and not in the sink!!!

Gestern Nachmittag hatten wir wieder unser Treffen von der ERFA Gruppe. 3 Frauen waren sehr fleissig und haben ihre Quilts fertig resp. schon fast fertig. Die 4 anderen (ich gehöre auch dazu) haben noch nicht einmal begonnen. Wir haben aber Zeit bis Ende Dezember und zwar haben wir uns folgende Aufgaben gestellt: jede zog eine Farbe und diese muss zu 75% im Quilt enthalten sein, der Quilt hat eine fertige Grösse von 75 x 120 cm beinhaltet eine kurvige Linie und ein gross gemusterter Stoff sollte auch noch darin enthalten sein. Eines der Elemente kann man weglassen.
Yesterday afternoon our ERFA group met again. 3 of the women have been very productive and have finished or nearly finished their quilts. 4 of them (me included) haven't yet startet but we have time until the end of year. We have the following rules: each of us had to pick a color and 75% of the quilts should be in that color, the size is 75 x120 cm (ca. 30 x 50"), then there should be a curved line in it as well as a big size print. One of these elements could be left.

This color combination I liked so much that I made a second set which I kept for myself and didn't trade.

Over the 1st August (Swiss National Day) we have been in Arosa. There we have seen a beuatiful firework but I was much more impressed by all the torches which have been lit on top of the mountains around Arosa.
