It only takes two

Remember this picture of something red and white growing on my wall?? 

 
It’ s an old BOM from Sentimental Stitches called
 “ it takes 2”
I made a few blocks to see if I could do it and if I would like it. Who was I kidding??

It grew like a mold:)
By day I sewed blocks by machine and in the evening the more difficult ones by hand. There was a lot of appliqué involved, not my expertise. So since there was a lot of time to kill during lockdown 1, I watched how to's on YouTube endlessly 

  
The pics aren’t great; I didn’t take them with a blogpost in mind.. 
The sewing frenzy came to a halt when school (and thus work) re opened again after the summer holidays…

I also became a grandmother, or “ oma” in Dutch for the third time! Late July we welcomed a third granddaughter! Quilting DD now has 3 little ladies.
The 2 older sisters came to stay for sleep-overs several times while schools and daycares were closed (parents working from home) and I love having them. Never knew that being an oma could be so wonderful!

Gifts….

 Gifts that came by mail,unexpectedly,during the first Covid lockdown….. those are the best and most treasured!

Grandkids made drawings and Quilting DD embroidered it. 

And on Mother’s Day, I always welcome a bunch of tulips, my absolute fav flowers!
