Here are the greeting cards I received for my birthday. Sabine also included two beautiful sun-print fabrics in her letter. Thank you so much!

I already machine-quilted all four tops I made two weeks ago. I had enough batting left and thought I should do it right away. Otherwise I would probably forget about them until the next meeting with Antje and then work myself into a frenzy to get them finished on time. Now all I have to do is bind them. Did I ever mention that I hate binding a quilt? And now four of them... that will take me months :)
Here is finally a picture of the finished skirt. I hemmed it three weeks ago, the plan was to wear skirt and blouse in Wahlsdorf but it wasn't warm enough for that. As we are still waiting for nice spring weather in Berlin, Marcy has been wearing blouse and skirt until today :(
I finished the Sentimental Journey Sampler top last weekend. Since I made the shoo fly blocks in Wahlsdorf two weeks ago I thought it would be a good idea to do it right away. I am still undecided if I like the yellow border. And I have no idea yet how to quilt it.
The bag is open at the top and closes with a snap-fastener in the middle. This is not a good idea in a city like Berlin. The bag contains a small inner pocket which closes with velcro. I omitted the velcro, used a zipper instead and added the pocket more towards the bottom of the bag, so I hope my money will be safe in there. And I even thought of adding a bias strip with a snap hook so I won't have to hunt down my keys in the big bag.
At the Blossin retreat Renat made a bag that we all liked very much. Unfortunately I only took one picture which is not very good, the bag looks much nicer in reality.
Am letzten Wochenende in Wahlsdorf musste ich dann einen Stoff mitnehmen, auf dem mein Name stand :) Den will ich morgen zu einer Tasche verarbeiten. Die weiteren Zutaten habe ich heute besorgt. Ein paar Änderungen zu Renates Modell will ich vornehmen, mal sehen, wie weit ich komme.

I stitched three and a half tops for preterm baby quilts, eight small shoo fly blocks and a few hexagons during our sewing weekend. I had enough time to finish the fourth top but for some reason I had not cut enough squares, two were missing. And of course I didn't pack the rest of the fabric. But I was still in a sewing mood after I got home last night and finished the fourth top right away.
The small blocks are for the borders of the Sentimental Journey Sampler. I began sewing them yesterday morning before breakfast, andI did pay attention this time and managed to arrange the cream-colored fabric pieces correctly, so all stripes face in the same direction.
Die kleinen Blöcke brauche ich für die Ränder vom Sentimental Journey Sampler. Obwohl ich sie gestern morgen schon vor dem Frühstück begonnen habe, habe ich diesmal gut aufgepasst und keinen Fehler eingebaut, so dass die Streifen auf dem hellen Stoff alle in die gleiche Richtung verlaufen.






It fits well, constructing the sloper was really the most difficult part. The alterations for the pattern details are a lot of fun and work well so far. I am just not satisfied with the sleeves. I didn't change the cap or armhole but I somehow couldn't set in the sleeves smoothly although it worked well with the last blouse.
